A win and he'll be the seventh coach in league history to chalk up 1,000 wins.

When that moment comes you can't help but to think about everything Karl has been through with his health over the past year, it will truly a moment to savior, yet Karl will be ready to move on . In a statement to the AP Karl said

"I would probably like it in Charlotte and get it over with and have some beers and keep our momentum going in a good direction. It's been an incredible run and I do appreciate all the good players and I appreciate my time here in Denver and I'm very humbled by my opportunity to win 1,000, but, I'd like to get out of the spotlight and get it over with and continue to try to build this team into the best team we could have in Denver."
