Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke may have missed out on a maiden Premier League title this season but his year could yet end with glory.
The professional basketball team he owns through Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, the Denver Nuggets, are one game away from their NBA finals debut. The Nuggets beat the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night 119-108 in LA to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference Finals series.
Either the Miami Heat or Boston Celtics await the Nuggets if, as expected, they beat the Lakers in LA on Tuesday. The Nuggets, who have been owned by Kroenke since 2000, have never been to the NBA Finals and would win their first Conference championship if they are successful in Los Angeles.
