[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Well I, for one, am sorry Karl didn't get his ring. I have no love for the Lakers but Karl put in a lot of loyal years at below market value to play for the Jazz for 18 seasons. That to me does not show disloyality. I find it funny that folks feel a guy that decides to work someplace else is a "traitor" for going some where else for his own personel reasons.He paid his dues and owed nothing to the Jazz. Do you really think The Jazz would be as loyal as him unless they were getting the deal they wanted? I don't know about you but I believe a man has a right to do what he feels is best for him. Isn't a man free to follow his dreams especially if it's not going to happen on the team he's on?[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Karl has done a lot for Utah outdoors and he's done a lot for the state of Utah. He was voted Utahan of the year for all that he did outside the world of basketball in the state of Utah. I know he was out spoken about a lot of issues and not everyone agreed with him but I respect a guy who will speak his mind, even if it is not the popular opinion. JMHO from a Utah Jazz and Karl Malone fan...[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]It's all immaterial now anyway. The knee injury is probably career ending. Too bad. I'd of liked to see him get the scoring title.[/size][/font]
