Hmm...I wasn't listening all that closely, but I believe ESPN News just reported that Malone is denying that he is retiring. I might've heard it wrong, since I really don't pay much attention when ESPN goes to their Laker "drama" bulls**t. While I do want him to retire, I'd love to see him become the laughingstock of the league by trying to play a couple of more years. He's already lost a lot in his legs, so that jumper won't be near as effective and he won't be able to rebound well. ***EDIT***: His agent is the one denying the retirement announcement.
If this turns out to be true it's just a terrible day for the NBA. I believe I can speak for everyone here who was dying to see Karl get a couple of rings and break the all-time scoring record ~ this is truly a sad sad day...
