F**k Karl Marlone! I am serious. This guy is setting lower and lower standard for himself when he is getting older. He is not just there playing basketball, he is out there to cause injury to other players. I never see truly great players do that. Jordan, Duncan, Bird, Magic, KG, Shaq, Kobe, ......, you name it, they never give that kind of cheap fouls. Shaq gives hard fouls all the time, but never cheap foul. This guy should get kicked out of the league. I wish that they suspend him a game for punishment.
Dirty Karla is like last season's Ron Artest. Soon or later he is going to end someone's career. That elbow on Yao's low back should be called a flagrant foul and Karla should be suspended!
Malone's WWF action Karl Malone did it again... This time he did it to a 2nd year player who is going to be the next dominant center in this league. I hope Yao Ming is not seriously injured by his elbow. My best wishes and prayers to all players who play against Karl Malone. Time for somebody to make him a ring and let go of him...
Have you been watching the Utah - Rocket games of the mid-90s? He caust the Rockets the WCF championship with his bearhug on Drexler and screwed the Olajuwon - Jordan finals matchup! You do know he was in the WCW or WWF one of those
I now officially HATE Karla Malone. He is a b*tch. First the elbow to the face of Nachbar, then the kick to the head of Steve, and of course the elbow to Yao's lower back...I'm probably missing some too.
Malone has always played like this, its nothing new. He used to kick his knee out when shooting a jumper and usually plant it in the stomach or hip of his defender. Now he just elbows you from behind. irussel
i think he should be fined for the elbow. there shouldn't be a suspension, but a fine would be prudent by the league.
I love this board... I was just about to start a thread with the same title.... Stupid Ugly Jazz... in the words of rockets03 Juck the Fazz and their stupid former players.
His elbowing,kicking,fouling,flopping and complaining to the refs has never stopped. He is the ultimate thug. Oakley is nothing compared to him. Karl Malone and John Stockton are big cheaters despite their skills.
Of course I remember those games. I thought that Utah was watchable because I like Stockton's playing style. But damn, Karka is setting lower low and he is a perfect short.
Malone does not deserve star treatment. He deserves thug treatment. Blame the refs and/or the Association for allowing his tired and dangerous acts and actions to continue unchecked.
