When I look at Utah Jazz legend Karl Malone today, I can’t help but think the now 54-year-old could still cause a ruckus on the hardwood. To this day, he continues to be the very picture of hours spent in the weight room.
Of course, Malone’s playing days are long behind him, but his physical attributes aren’t the only thing that have remained intact from his Jazz career. As ever, the Mailman is one of the game’s ultimate talkers away from the floor. And on Thursday night, he was in rare form on national television.
During Utah’s summer league bout with the Orlando Magic, Malone joined NBA-TV’s broadcast duo of Stu Jackson and Kristen Ledlow at courtside and didn’t pull punches as he waxed philosophical on all things hoops.
