Least Favorite Pro Sports Player 2- Karl Malone


Another basketball player that pissed me off to no end was Karl Malone. Malone played 19 seasons, 18 with the Utah Jazz and one joke season with the LA Lakers. What made Malone such a putz was that he was a habitual "bow"-thrower. Dr. Elbow, as he had been dubbed, is 100% the dirtiest player that the NBA has ever seen. The man elbowed David Robinson in the head, and Robinson collapsed and was taken to the hospital and was treated for a concussion. Hello?! THE MAN KNOCKED OUT THE ADMIRAL! David Robinson never wronged ANYONE in the NBA. And the best part was that ROBINSON WAS CALLED FOR THE FOUL! What?! Of all the players in NBA deserving of a blow to the head from the Mailman, I think David Robinson would be the last on that list. Did I mention that the night before Malone broke then Golden State Warrior PF Donyell Marshall's ribs with an "unintentional" knee to the ribs? Oh, well he did. He has broken bones, knocked out teeth, even ended careers. He has punched, elbowed, kicked, kneed, and bruised his was into the record books and probably will one day be in the hall of fame. Wow. But the worst part? Malone REFUSED TO PLAY in the 1997 NBA All-Star game. Why? Because it was in Cleveland. I am so ecstatic that he no loner poisons the NBA with his presence.
