BREAKING: Nuggets Legend Alex English Returns as Co-Owner of Denver Franchise, In A $1 Billion Combined Family Multi Investment After The Announcement…
Denver, CO – In a historic and heartwarming development for Nuggets fans, Hall of Famer and franchise icon Alex English is making a triumphant return to Denver — not as a player or coach this time, but as a new co-owner of the team he helped build into a powerhouse.
The Denver Nuggets announced Monday that English has acquired a minority ownership stake in the organization, making him the first former Nuggets player to hold such a role in team history. The move is being hailed as both a tribute to English’s lasting legacy and a progressive step in bringing former players into leadership roles within the NBA.
“Denver has always been home for me,” English said during the official press conference. “I wore that jersey with pride, and now I’m honored to support the franchise from a new seat — as a co-owner committed to the future.”
English, who played 11 seasons with the Nuggets (1979–1990), remains the team’s all-time leading scorer with over 21,000 points. Known for his smooth scoring ability and unmatched class, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997.
Nuggets President Josh Kroenke welcomed the return: “Alex English isn’t just part of Nuggets history — he is Nuggets history. Having him join the ownership group deepens our connection to our roots and strengthens our vision moving forward.”
Fans and players alike have celebrated the move across social media, calling it a full-circle moment for one of the NBA’s most underrated legends.
With English now in a position of influence behind the scenes, the Nuggets’ future looks brighter — not only in wins but in legacy and leadership.
