DENVER -- Stan Kroenke's sports empire has produced an NFL, NHL and now NBA champion in three consecutive seasons.
His latest title came Monday night when the Denver Nuggets won their first championship 47 years after joining the NBA. His Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in the Super Bowl following the 2021 season, and his Colorado Avalanche hoisted the Stanley Cup last summer after dispatching the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games.
Through the champagne spray and cigar smoke choking the Nuggets' locker room following their rugged 94-89 win over Miami in Game 5, Kroenke reflected on his football, hockey and basketball titles and couldn't pick one over the other.
