HALL OF FAME - KARL MALONE

Karl Malone was the main reason I watched basketball. He was such an amazing player whose work ethic was better than most others. He showed up for each season in shape and ready to win. He played for the Utah Jazz for most of his career with a brief stint with the LA Lakers. He was referred to as the Mailman because he always delivered.
He was part of the Dream Team that won the 1992 Olympics. Karl was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame yesterday along with Scottie Pippen. He gave a tearful speech and in the end of course credited his Momma for all he has done.

I have driven over 300 miles into a different country to watch him play basketball. The fact that he is also soooo hot had nothing to do with my being such a huge stalker fan of his. The man's muscles have muscles.
I have trading cards of his, a magazine cover and even a Christmas tree ornament of him. I just wish I had started watching basketball back in the day when he would have been wearing the short shorts.

I have met him a few times. I always really liked him too so the first time I met him, I think I stood there like a fool with my mouth hanging open. I got better at it though.

He was nice every time
