Denver Nuggets coach George Karl recently sat down with NBA TV’s David Aldridge to talk about his fight against throat cancer.
Karl, who guided the Seattle Supersonics to the 1996 Western Conference Championship, was named the winner of the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at this month’s Espy Awards.
The honour is named after former North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano who lost his own battle with cancer in 1993.
Karl, one of the game’s more popular figures, took a leave of absence from his post in February and hopes to return to the sidelines for the start of this season.
