Karl notches win No. 800

Posted Dec 30, 2006

When it was over, Allen Iverson handed George Karl a jersey with the No. 800. Iverson may have totaled 44 points and 10 assists in Thursday night’s 112-98 win over Seattle at the Pepsi Center, but the big star was Karl. The Nuggets coach became the 12th NBA coach to register 800 wins, and he couldn’t have picked a more appropriate foe to do it against. (Rocky Mountain News)
