In the past, Hancock has renamed the street for the Denver Broncos and Colorado Avalanche during his tenure when they won championships. He hopes to add the Nuggets to the list!

"I want to thank Kroenke Sports and Stan and Josh and by the way, our secret weapon is Mike Malone, I just want you to know that," said Hancock. "Go Nuggets!"
