I know everyone hates Karl Malone but ...

I hope he drowns...i mean great job Karl

When someone does something like this you can only say thank you. Imagine if he hadn't. Those people would have had to have pay to have their lots cleared. That is crazy. Karl Malone was a great basketball player regardless of what he did. I couldn't stand him when he was playing against the Spurs. However, what he did was from his heart and he helped a lot of people in a huge way. Let me just end this by saying, which ever one of you hasn't done something wrong, go ahead and chunk the first stone.

malone is not my opinion of a community helper... hes the main reason we lost against the lakers in 04 because of his dirtyass defense on duncan - not counting 0.4 of course. he is however my opinion of the dirtiest defender in the history of the nba

[IceColdBrewski]

Anyone who thinks Malone is the dirtiest to ever play the game obviously isn't old enough to remember Bill Laimbeer. Laimbeer single-handedly turned his entire team into a bunch of dirty punk-asses.

He should have elbowed Katrina right in the eye wall!

You people are such gots. We have all seen video of Bruce Bowen karate kicking two different players in the face, and you manage to rail on Malone after his retirement in a thread about him devoting not just resources but many hours of his time to clean up a natural disaster.

I can understand hating Malone because he buried our asses repeatedly in the 90's, but all the crying about dirty basketball needs to stop, especially since Bruce Bowen is on our team.

Ask your mommy to help you find information about the intentional elbow he threw at Isiah before you defend him, re . Also, you are an asshole on general principle just for saying something as idiotic as "you people are such gots."

It's not so much that I hate Karl Malone as I just want him to never be in the city of San Antonio.

This would depend upon your definition of "dirty". Laimbeer liked to take you out of your game, and pissing you off is a good way to do it. He could get in your head. Malone wasn't smart enough to get into your head, so he decided to remove it. Just off the top of my head, I remember him knocking David Robinson unconscious (after the whistle, btw), he opened up Isiah (I recall he needed 40 s ches), he broke Joe Klein's nose so bad I still remember it, he knocked out Steve Nash's front teeth, he elbowed Donyell Marshall hard enough to break one of his ribs, and I think he did that the game before he knocked out David.

I wish Karl Malone would've been a Spur.

Maybe they would've won more championships and not played like wusses.

Was he looking for Mexican girls in the debris?

Hey Cabron,

Malone sucks.

'nuff said.

Also the only reason Malone ever did good was thanks to some nifty passes... none of his own work

Bruce is ultra compe ive, and probably crosses the line once in a while. Bruce also never put anyone in the hospital. Malone's M*A*S*H list:

DRob - concussion
Donyel Marshall - broken ribs. missed the last few weeks of the season
Isaiah Thomas - elbow to the head. 40+ stiches, internal and external. Missed a couple of weeks.

I truly believe, and will believe until I die, that Malone was out to intentionally hurt people on the court. These weren't cases of incidental contact. In every case, he was swinging elbows, and two of them were to the head. David could have died that day if Malone's elbow had been a few millimeters one way or the other. A sharp blow to the temple has been known to be fatal, and that's exactly where Malone hit him.

I'll freely admit that If I weren't a Spurs fan, I probaly wouldn't like Bowen, but he'd be more in the jerk or pest catagory, about where I place Raja Bell now. Malone is a criminal, and my happiest moment as a Spurs fan was winning it last year without Malone on the roster, after he pulled his 6 month prima donna BS tour.

I'm not 100% sure on this...but I think I read in Slam a few years back that in College, Malone ended another player's career with an elbow...dude never recovered and was going to be really good. Now I don't even know his name.

Does anyone remember back in 2001 I think when Kenyon Martin fouled Malone really hard? It looked as if he intentionally punched him in the head from behind instead of going for the ball. Maybe Kenyon is a david robinson fan...anyway Malone was a damn good powerforward, but like Barkley and Ewing he never got a ring.

In 1984, while still playing for Louisiana Tech, Malone let us see a glimpse of the future when he (apparently) intentionally elbowed Rice center Dave Ramer in the face. Ramer required plastic surgery to reconstruct his face and Malone's career as a thug was born. Ramer never played again.
