Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke breaks silence as $264m decision pays off

Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke toasted his Denver Nuggets side's maiden Western Conference championship win this week.

The Nuggets swept a LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers side 4-0 in their best-of-seven series to set up a debut appearance in the NBA Finals. The Boston Celtics or Miami Heat await the Nuggets, who have a red-hot Nikola Jokic in their ranks with the Serb in the midst of a record play-off run after signing his 'supermax' $264m new contract with the club last year.

Kroenke saw his Arsenal side come up short in their Premier League title battle with Manchester City but is on the verge of success with the Nuggets, having seen his Colorado Avalanche ice hockey side win the Stanley Cup last year and the LA Rams win the 2021 Super Bowl. "We've got work to do, but this is a nice start," Kroenke told The Denver Post after the Nuggets' 113-111 win in LA.
