I HATE KARLA MALONE! He is the dirtiest, biggest cheater of all time in the NBA. If we can't have a repeat of Clutch City this year, then I just really, REALLY hope someone else beats the Lakers butts because I couldn't stand that piece of crap winning an NBA championship.
Now i understand the foul differential in game 4. To: L. Alexander From: NBA Officials Message: S.T.F. up or get more of this!
I think that Alexander is just mad like everybody else here. Karl Malone has been doing that for a long time and the NBA is not going to do anything(I wish they would). The Rockets need to go at him hard this next game like Boki did. I just know that Karl is not going to get a ring this year.
Man that was sweet how Boki took his @$$-clown self-out. It was good to see him stand up for himself. Then there's Steve, though he shouldn't get involved you just gotta love the guy, that's a real team mate. I loved the way that he got up for Boki, that's all love man. That's great for team morale, that's how you get good chemistry; I can't beleive some people here want him traded.
Agreed 100%. I don't mind the physical play allowed in the playoffs, but Malone takes it up more than a few notches. He's an ass, a cheater, and a loser. He may finally win his title(I, personally, am not ready to hand this series over just yet), but will it really mean anything? I mean...even David Robinson was the second best player on his first championship team. His latest antics have put him one step ahead of Stockton as the league's biggest ass.
That exchange between Boki and Malone was quite possibly the most entertaining moment of basketball for a long time. Malone is such a prick. "yeah, i'm a warrior because my jersey is torn. never mind the fact that it got torn because i undercut a guy and he grabbed it while desparately trying to break his fall" screw you karl.
And who cannot stand doc and al's comments about his torn jersey??? WHO CARES?!?!?! For the love of god quit showing his torn jersey!!! I am sick and tired of that inbred hooligan. He stands for everything wrong with society and yet gets respect for being an outstanding veteran surpassing the test of time. I dont give a crap about longevity in sports. This guy does not have any "courage" as al falsely complimented him on today. He by no means is a hero, hes a disgrace to society and the nba. And instead of the nba and the commentators shunning his performance,they promote every bit of it laughing proudly. It makes the sport look like a wwf match with him out there. He is the dirtiest player i have ever seen, yes even dirtier than my user name. And sadly i would love to see him get hurt in a game and i hate having that feeling about a professional athelete. Noone should feel that way about a sports figure but i would love to see cato kick malone in his head the next time that sobs on the ground. Not an "excuse me i accidentally stepped on you kick" but a real allstar head kick. Ah that guy just angers me.
You dont have to tell me how he plays. I know... Thus, big deal! What are you going to do about it? That's my point? Crying and whining does nothing. The only way around these type of players is to beat them on the court. Period! That's what Hakeem, Isiah and Jordan did. So the Rockets should do the same. Boki took it to him. That's what should be done. Complaining to the league will do nothing. The guy ebows, holds, grabs, pushes. Anything to get an edge. Yeah and? Are you going to let him get into your head? Yes or no? And by the way, this wont be the last time a player pushes Yao in the back away from the ball! Even after Malone retires. There will be more (Artest?). So, back to my original point. It's not about defending that type of play from Malone. It's about how Yao must learn to deal with dirty plays and not get distracted. Yao must learn how to deal with it. ---> Play like Boki!
That the thing. He hasn't won anything. That's part of it. He lets others get the best of him because his ego gets in the way....as long as you don't back down. The best strategy to get Malone out of his game is to take it right to him! Don't shy away from that type of play.
That was a classic!!!!! I rememeber that. The game before Rodman had gotten into Malones head big time! This game you posted he was trying prevent from reacting to Rodman's anctics. Rodman was the master at head games. It was soooo funny! Notice how he's trying to pretend not to notice Rodman...but Rodman keeps at it. Heh.. The three worst were Bill Laimbeer, Denis Rodman (w/the Bulls) and K. Malone (in that order) in terms of dirty tricks.
Hard to play ball when Malone gets that sissy-uncalled for 6th foul on Yao. That won't make him tougher when he gets ripped off like that.
The best thing I can pray for Malone is that he can still walk after retired. The second, as you all know, is he can never get a ring no matter how he desires it with those dirty plays.
omg those are some funny ass pictures, especially the Horry one... I had forgotten how dirty Malone is =P
I remember seeing him (Malone) use the kicking layup in the game - can't remember who it was against - but he lead with his knee going to the basket - remenicent of the Horry photo - what a jerk - can't believe all the talking heads giving him props today - Charles and Kenny remarked in Spurs post game that Boki didn't foul him - but they didn't say anything about the Yao 6th foul travesty. Repeating - this was officials payback to L.Alexander for complaining!
rocket river whispers. . . . 'REMEMBER DREXLER IN 95!" rocket river The Mayor's wife called out the league. . . Rockets Stormed back I BELEIVE!!
