In 24 NBA seasons, Denver Nuggets coach George Karl has worked with hundreds of players ranging from All-Stars and role players to future coaches and future Hall of Famers.

The Who’s Who list includes names such as Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, World B. Free, Allen Iverson, Shawn Kemp, Chris Mullin and Gary Payton.

Or how about Mullin, the Hall of Fame forward who could fill up the stat sheet?

With plenty of great choices, Karl couldn’t go wrong.
