Opinion | 'How Nuggets can make the boss happy: Deliver trophy Stan Kroenke wants most to a sports mogul that already has won the Super Bowl and Stanley Cup.' (via MarkKiszla) MileHighBasketball
LOS ANGELES — It’s the trophy a basketball nerd who grew up to be a billionaire wants the most. And it’s the job of Nuggets coach Michael Malone to turn the impossible dream of Stan Kroenke into reality, before the boss decides there’s a smarter way to spend his money.“I joke with Stan and Josh Kroenke. I see the Rams win the Super Bowl, the Avs win the Stanley Cup and the teams they own win championships.
Way back in 2001, not long after he purchased the NBA and NHL franchises in Colorado, Kroenke told me how he grew up in a tiny Midwest village, fantasizing about playing hoops for the University of Missouri Tigers, only to be jolted back to reality by the frayed athletic socks and scuffed sneakers that served as a reminder of how much work would be required to make anything of himself in this world.
Although he helped build the Walmart retail empire, and owns ranches and marquee sports franchises from Los Angeles to London, I’ve watched Stan blush and lower his eyes to hide his paternal pride when complimenting him on the achievements of his only son, Josh. I first met Josh 22 years ago, when he lived one of his old man’s dreams as a reserve guard for the Missouri Tigers, averaging 2.6 points over the course of 122 college games.
