ON KARL MALONE

On one of the Jazz road trips, I had breakfast with Karl. I commented on his even more than monster workouts and it looked like he was carrying about five to ten pounds more muscle than in the past. Karl looked at me and said, Rick, Im on a mission. Statements like these led Karl to more clearly focus on winning every play, every minute, every set and every rep. This man really kept his eye single to the glory of winning a championship.

ON KARL MALONE

People always ask me how much Karl can Bench Press. I give them this dead pan look and say, About 350 pounds . . . are you impressed? They sort of wrinkle their forehead and answer, Yeah, I guess. But, you just know they wanted to hear something like 500 pounds. Then I say, Karl can Bench 350 and then sprint down to the other basket and Bench 350 again. Then, sprint all the back to the other end of the court and do it again. And, Id bet my last wad of bubble gum that Karl Malone could stay above 300 pounds with 100 trips up and down the court. Now are you impressed? Every time, I get this big wide grin as they answer in the affi `py > "`=w
