Getting to know the real Karl Malone

I consider myself as die-hard a Jazz fan there is, and my hatred of Kobe and the Lakers probably borders along "scary" and "potentially criminal," but I'm not ashamed to admit I rooted for the Lakers during the 2004 playoffs, (solely because of Malone) but still, that was the only time I ever wanted the Lakers to win.

That team could have had Stockton, Hornacek, and Sloan and I would still not root for the Lakers. I loved seeing the Pistons blast them. Nothing personal, Karl, it was just business.
 
"any notion of rejoining the Lakers the next season was doused when Bryant angrily accused Malone of hitting on his wife at a Lakers game in December"

?????
 
@Mambo I cannot agree more with the lame pic. Plays all his years in Utah and he chooses a Laker picture. Enough said about Adande.
 
The picture of him in a Lakers jersey is better explained if you read the article about how Adande really came to appreciate Malone while Karl was playing for the Lakers.

Oh the irony.

For Christ sake he's being inducted to the HoF this weekend, I understand there is much hate for him and his detractors love bringing it up anytime anybody thinks of thinking about talking about Malone. We all know we heard it the first 20million times it was brought up in the other attempt to honor Malone threads, how about a little common decency and either not post or if you have to at the very least acknowledge his basketball accolades as that is what he is being honored for.

Please don't take the Lord's name in vain.
 
One thing that I fail to understand in all of these threads about Malone is how select jazz fans feel it is their duty to do nothing but act as though they wish for nothing more than for Malone to have never been on the team in the first place. Karl Malone means as much to the franchise as Stockton and without him the Jazz wound not have been as successful (and would probably not have even lasted as long in Utah).

If you really think Duncan would have gotten you the rings that Malone (AND Stockton) failed to deliver then watch some Spurs highlights on youtube. The man wasn't perfect but he was a great player, stuck by the organization for all but the last season of his career and was a model of hard work and dedication on the court. Without him you don't have your memories of Stockton hitting "the shot' or cheering for a team in the finals. You have John Stockton and Utah's version of the Clippers. Being a troll is not and never will be in vogue.
