ESPN is reporting that Karl Malone is leaning towards retirement. As a lifelong Utah Jazz fan I was disappointed he wore out his welcome in Utah and forced the trade to the Lakers. I recall Karl stating that he wasn’t interested in growing the young talent on the Jazz roster so he got his wish to play for a contender and was shipped off to play with Shaq and Kobe, two of the most selfish players in the league. Karl didn’t get a ring or a scoring title although he did make a pass at Kobe’s wife.
Don’t you wish you could have retired with the same class shown by John Stockon?
