In case you’ve missed it, the NBA is holding its All-Star Weekend festivities this weekend. The city of Salt Lake City, Utah is hosting the event in conjunction with its one and only pro sports franchise: the Utah Jazz. Some of the league’s best and brightest, past or present, will attend the event. That includes Jazz legend and Basketball Hall of Famer, Karl Malone.
Malone did many things with Utah. The man known as ‘The Mailman’ won two NBA MVP awards, made 14 NBA All-Star teams, and was selected as an 11-time All-NBA First Teamer. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame twice. Once for his stint in Utah, and the other time for his inclusion in The Dream Team.
But unsavory deeds always tend to resurface when talking about Karl Malone. For one, there is his estranged son Demetress Bell, a former NFL player who Malone abandoned. Then there is the uncomfortable story of when he impregnated a 12-year-old girl.
So, with that all in mind, Bomani spoke on Game Theory with Bomani Jones about the touchiness, the uncomfortableness, and what exactly are his true thoughts on Karl Malone.
