Karl Malone Guy Quotations

We had one guy come up to us and tell us to go to another neighborhood and that these people could afford to pay, ... I told him, 'Why should they pay? They just lost everything.'

I just realized that not only early in my career but, if I was going to play longer, guys foul you when they get tired.

You're a professional. You don't need for me to break a film down for you. If you want to stop the guy you're playing, they pay you millions of dollars. You get you a TV and break the player down yourself.

He's hard-nosed, ... He's great with his players, too. A lot of the things that I do come from him. If you've got a guy who can shoot, you bring him off screens. And if you've got a guy who can dribble, you do the pick and roll.

Look at this, scabs and cuts all over me, I get these every night, every game. They can't tell you that you're not at risk, and you can't tell me there's one guy in the N.B.A. who hasn't thought about it.

Starting off my career, I wasn't a good free throw shooter, and I worked at it and worked at it, and now I want to go up there and shoot free throws, and now... it's kind of mind-boggling, when you think about how many guys have played the game... when I finish playing and I look back on it, I think it'll be huge. Right now I'm still playing the game, it's kind of tough to really stop and think about it.

Marijuana is not tested for, and yet that is the big thing guys are getting in trouble with in the league. It's terrible

I can do something physically the other guy can't. I know the other guy has not dedicated himself the way I did.

To catch the ball, face up, look at all of my options and then pass. I was playing hot potato. I didn't want to be the guy to stall the triangle.

Forget the technique. Hit the guy across from you. Don't let somebody come in your space.
