Malone gives HOF jacket to little boy in wheelchair http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/halloffame10/news/story?id=5462059 [rquoter] SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- The Mailman delivered again. Karl Malone will go home with a spot in Hall of Fame. Unlike the other inductees, though, he'll go without his Hall of Fame jacket. The sports coat with the Hall of Fame logo now belongs to a young boy in a wheelchair, who watched as Malone and the other new members of the Hall of Fame class took questions and posed for pictures Friday. "I told him when he graduates from high school he will have a jacket to wear," Malone said. The coat didn't exactly fit to begin with. The sleeves were well short on his arms and so tight that Malone joked maybe it was supposed to be fellow inductee Scottie Pippen's. "My 12-year-old daughter couldn't get into it," Malone said, laughing. The former Utah Jazz star wondered what he would do with the jacket anyway. "Put it in some closet and years from now blow the dust off of it, light up a cigar, and look at it?" he said. "This little boy will do something with it. I loved that I did it." A Hall of Fame spokesman said he didn't know the boy's name. [/rquoter]
Did he kick the kid in the nuts as he was giving him? From what I recall, that was his signature move.
Haha that's what I was thinking, why shorten "jacket"? Anyway, Karl Malone is a douchy child molester and no amount of self gratifying jacket donation will change that.
At least get to know the boy's name. As it is now, it seems like he's just doing it for the sake of feeling good about himself since he doesn't need the jacket. Could me my disliking of him but I dunno.
Or his real Daughter who he basically denied existed even though she looked just like him. What a tool.
is that the one from when he was in college and impregnated a 13 year old girl? these days we call that rape, btw. malone should have gone to jail.
Good job by Malone. Still a long way to go to repent for all his elbows and bear hugs. I still hate you Karl Malone. And not just a little.
