You could trip this guy on Saturday night and he’d still be Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down.
Opponents have probably written miserable country songs about facing Denmark’s Chris Christoffersen.
Not to be confused with legendary American musician, Kris Kristoffersen.
The cream of Irish hoop talent faces the Danish Basketball Champions Bakken Bears in the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght tonight in the FIBA Europe Cup.
Ireland’s squad is missing 6’10” Jason Killeen for tonight’s game due to injury, so we’re not sure who will be tall enough to take on the giant frame of the fantastically named Christoffersen, who stands at 7’2”.
He popped into Tallaght last night for training and upon spotting a picture of Killeen, decided he’d test out the difference in size between both men.

The game is Ireland’s home debut in the FIBA Europe Cup and tip-off is at 7.30.
Why not get down to Tallaght to support the lads and help them make it through the night.
