After the Nets beat the Utah Jazz, the war of words erupted. Excerpt from ESPN: Malone pushed Scott twice with a stiffarm after each stepped in to break up a scuffle between Kenyon Martin and John Crotty. After the game, Scott said Malone "has no heart." "Malone don't scare me. ... He's a man, just like I am. I don't back down to anybody. He doesn't, and he knows it. We played them a lot of times. I know what he's all about," Scott said. The Mailman answered by mocking Scott's job as a role player with the Los Angeles Lakers during the championship days of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and said Scott doesn't deserve to be an NBA coach. "If I was willing to ride other guys' coattails, I'd probably have me a couple of rings," Malone said, a few of the remarks that could be printed. "But I'll tell you what, I'm not getting on my knees for anybody." What a real Jerk! I'm so glad the Jazz are finally headed into lottery land!
Malone is known for taking cheap shots on and off the court. Remember the remarks he made about Matt Bullard two years ago? http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3098&highlight=Malone+AND+Bullard Karl Malone has no class, just like the entire Jazz organization.
Exactly. I'm not surprised by anything the Jazzholes do. They are fixing to be bad for a long time, and I can't wait to laugh my ass off about it!
that's why that b**** will retire championship-less. God won't let it happen. ooooooh those remarks about Bull still make me angry.
Hey Karl: I think that If I were you, I would be riding any FREAKIN' coattail I could find right now, because you sure as hell ain't gonna get a ring in Utah!!! And everyone knows that you made a promise to Stockton years ago, that you would only "get down on your knees" for him! Rogaine and Alfalfa are the most hated duo in the NBA, and everyone knows it. Freakin' Jerk.....
HAHA! I see the frustration of being on a bad team is catching up to the loser! Hey Karl Byron was a key player on several Lakers championships. They don't win titles without him. Just like Fisher, Elie, Shaw, Daniels, that's how you win championships. Of course since you didn't win a ring you wouldn't know what it takes to come together and win a championship. So enjoy wallowing in the lottery. Man I'm so mad right now, god I hate the Jazz! ZRB where are you!
"If I was willing to ride other guys' coattails, I'd probably have me a couple of rings," Malone said, a few of the remarks that could be printed. Translation: "The Jazz never really had anyone with the talent, desire, or intelligence to lead them to a championship, so . . . nah nah nee boo boo," Malone said, admitting that his own coattails were too flimsy for his teammates to ride to a championship. "But I'll tell you what, I'm not getting on my knees for anybody." Translation: "No, you're much likely to draw the phantom foul if you flop on your butt than fall to your knees. Hell, the Jazz teach you that in your first practice; right after how to set moving picks."
Karl Malone is a joke and always will be a joke. It sickens me that this guy will likely end up leading the league all-time in scoring. That's only because he masterd cheating and abusing the rules. A third of his points come from the many ridiculous trips to the free throw line he has "earned" over the years. He is not, and never will be the best power forward ever. But not only is Karl Malone one of the dirtiest players ever, he's also one of the most horrible people in the world. Last year when his team blew a 2-0 lead, he deliberately ran over squirrels to take out his frustration. Malone is a sick person. He's a b*stard, an animal killer, and just an old fashioned prick from hell. He may have all the money he wants, but he will NEVER have the glory. Knowing that, and seeing his team struggle so much this year gives me great pleasure. I so look forward to seeing the Rockets pound the life out of this group of rectum-heads. I must also add that I hate Ostertag's guts too. The difference between my hatred of Malone and Stockton is that I hate Stocton as a player, but not as a person. I hate Malone and Ostertag as both. They make me sick. Rockets: 2 Jazz: 0
Does "scoreboard" mean anything to Malone? I guess when you're a perennial loser, you tend to forget that "scoreboard" is the final word.
In other news, a group of scientists at Arecibo Observatory discover that the Earth is round, shattering millenia of previous theories regarding the shape of the Earth. This amazing discovery ends what many consider the single greatest week in the advancement of human knowledge. Other discoveries made within the past week include the Pope is Catholic, the sky is blue, and Karl Malone is a big jerk. Tree
Okay, I hate Karla Malone and John Flopton as much as the next Rockets fan, but where does Dennis Scott come off clean in this? Shouldn't a coach be above this chest-beating talk? I think it's really sad what Malone said and it only gives me another reason to confirm what an @$$hole he is, but it doesn't sound like either guy is really covering himself with glory here. I'm not condoning it by any means, but I'm not surprised Malone responded with something petty in kind after Dennis Scott started being petty to the press.
When did Dennis Scott become coach? Byron Scott didn't deserve a stiff arm from Malone either. I think he is totally justified for making his comments. If it was Rudy T. that got the stiff arm, I'm sure I wouldn't be mad at him if he spoke out like Byron did and I don't think it was too petty.
Malone has no business taking shots at coaches. He did the same thing to Don Nelson about a year or 2 ago. Malone is just classless on the court. The guy takes shots at people constantly (remember him taking shots at Hakeem's anemia)? He knocked out and busted open Isiah Thomas because he was lighting up Stockton, he elbowed and knocked out David Robinson with a cheap shot, he elbowed Donyell Marshall and broke several ribs when Marshall was on Golden State, he tried to injure Brent Price when he was a Rocket in the playoffs, I can go on and on with this guy. And I don't think it's a coincidence that he gets into with 2 coaches in the last 2 or 3 years and those coaches haven't gotten into with ANYBODY else. The guy is just a joke.
No disrespect, but thats some of the funniest stuff I've EVER read one player to say about another...LOL!
Championshipless...kind of like Barkley, huh? I am not sure why Malone is considered classless and Scott is not? Explain that to me.
Byron Scott, or is it Bryon Scott, never TKO'ed players out on the floor with cheap shots and never ran his mouth the way Karla does. Is there anyone in the league that Karla HASN'T had a problem with?
Yeah, Stockton, Russell, Carter, Ewing, Brand, Odom, Francis, etc.... What's your point. I don't know how Scott can say Malone has no heart when he has only missed two games in 17 years to injury. Malone was trying to break up two players going at it and he is faulted for that...Don't get it.
