Nuggets Coach: Christ Himself Could Not Have Covered Kobe

Basketball machine Kobe Bryant and his Lakers brought dishonor upon the Denver Nuggets, their families, and all their ancestors on Friday night, 119-92.  One Denver sports blog could not be unequivocal enough in slapping the Nuggets in the face:

This was probably about the worst Game 6 that any Nuggets fan could imagine. After playing 4 spectacular games in the series … the Nuggets decided to make one clear cut adjustment … DOUBLE TEAM THE LAKERS and specifically Kobe Bryant.

This was probably the worst decision that I’ve ever seen from a team.

But Nuggets coach George Karl had a different read of his team’s flat-tire performance: no one could have stopped Kobe.  Not LeBron James.  Not Michael Phelps.  Not even Jesus Christ himself:  

“No. 24 had a great five minutes at the end of the (first half) that no one in basketball could have covered him. He made about four shots in that stretch that I think Jesus would have had trouble covering. And those took the game from a manageable game to 13 (points).”

Kobe had 35 points, 10 assists, and 1 turnover.  To his credit, though, Jesus never turns the ball over, ever.
