After Giannis air-balled that FT last night, he took his time on the 2nd FT to gather himself and appeared to be fairly close to the 10 second limit (although I didn't count).

It reminded me of late in Karl Malone's career when he would take forever to shoot FTs (while also talking to himself some sort of jibberish). To the point that opposing fans would start to count to 10, sometimes throwing him off a bit as he was releasing the FT right around 10 seconds or after. Malone was a bad FT shooter early in his career, improved quite a bit, but would have moments where it seemed the crowd would affect his concentration.

I can't recall if a ref ever called the 10 seconds on him? Or if it's ever happened to another player?

Karl Malone was a hard player to watch. Pick and roll w/ Stockton, 12 ft set shot, hour long free throws. Over and over and over and over. I despised him.

It's happened on and off, but Malone was probably the worst in constantly pushing the line.

It happened because he would talk to himself during his routine. It was always fun to try to read his lips when the camera would close on his face.

I remember the crowd doing it to Jermaine O’Neal.

I hated Karl Malone, Jeff Hornacek and John Stockton and anyone else who played for the Utah Jazz from ‘87-99.

You a Jazz fan or something?

It was a non-entertaining (annoying) brand of basketball, but they were really good.

Imagine him doing that karate kick driving into the lane nowadays. Harden or Paul might actually fake death after being on the receiving end of that move.

When Karl Malone was 17 years old he had twins, Daryl and Cheryl Ford. He didn't claim them until 1998 when the tabloid The Globe ran a story about a couple paternity lawsuits involving Malone back in his hometown of Summerfield, Louisiana. The other paternity suit involved Demetress Bell. Malone fathered Bell when he was a 20-year old college sophomore. Nothing wrong with that, right? Except for Bell's mother being 13 at the time. In both cases Malone fought tooth and nail to not have to pay child support—it didn't work.

He has since maintained a relationship with the Ford twins and made it out to Cheryl's games once in awhile when she played in the WNBA. But he told Bell, who plays in the NFL for the Eagles, after he graduated high school that it was "too late" for him to be his father. Jackass swag on infinity.


The child support that Malone fought while he was an NBA star was $125 a week.
