Karl Malone hired by the Jazz to teach big men to flop [caught on camera]

    When the Utah Jazz announced that Karl Malone would coach their big men on a part-time basis, it stood out as a strong move for all involved parties. The Jazz were able to bring the greatest player in their history back into the fold in an official capacity, Malone could develop some skills if he chose to pursue coaching full-time, and youngsters Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter could learn a thing or two. The only question was how much work Malone would actually do, and how involved he'd get in these players' development.

    The answer, apparently, is quite a bit. As seen on the Instagram account of Karl's wife Kay, the Mailman took the 21-year-old Turkish national Kanter fishing for the first time. Young Enes caught a fish, too, although it does not appear particularly large.

    Yet we should not mock him for his miniscule catch. As a city boy who's never caught a fish, I can understand why anyone would feel pride in hooking anything, no matter how small it may be. As noted by internet-renowned fishing expert Trey Kerby of The Basketball Jones, this bluegill is pretty much what everyone catches his first time out, if they catch anything at all. In other words, it's a foundation to build on, just as Malone will teach Kanter to improve his post game. In the end, it all comes back to basketball.
    Now, if Malone teaches Kanter how to ride his new mule, we'll have a real story on our hands.

    Being drafted by Utah has got to suck man. I'd rather sell knives door to door I think.

    I really hope the Jazz improve enough to just miss the playoffs.. It's gonna suck to see one of the great prospects get drafted to them. Though, it might spark the rivalry again later down the road.

    I was running out of reasons to hate Utah with the recent departure of most of the things worth hating. With Malone on the payroll again, my hatred is fully renewed.

    Dream returns to the game to teach some of the best players of all time how to be even better.

    Mailman comes back and teaches mediocre players how to fish.

    Seems about right.

    to be fair, he is probably the best PF that ever played so I do think he can teach alot. when he was a rookie, he couldn't shoot FTs worth squat but improved that and became a good shooter. also, his fitness level is amazing and was able to play well all throughout his late 30s

    Seriously, what can Karl Malone really teach anyone as far as post moves go.

    1. Here's how to run to shoot a 15'er in the Pick and Pop
    2. Here's how to clear out room for yourself by injuring people so they don't guard you close again.
    3. Here are some tricks to get foul calls or to hide fouls from the ref

    They guy could shoot open jumpers, but his lost post game is not something that is translatable to other players.

    Yeah, Malone's post game was nothing extensive. All he needs is a day to teach it.
