[Being in shape]
“You can’t take a magic pill to get in shape.”
“I actually could’ve beat [Ostertag] up…I’d beat my brother up if he wasn’t in shape.
“He wanted to train with me, Greg…can you believe we’ve been talking for 3 hours?...Greg Ostertag wanted to train with me and been after me…The day he sign what was at the time the largest contract in the history of the jazz, I lift [without Greg] then start my hike…he catch up to me and when it get tough he head back down, and I finish my workout while he come late and go back down early and shower and signed the biggest contract in the history of the Jazz.”

[Karl Malone on jealousy]
“Only thing I get jealous about is when someone kill a bigger bear than me but that’s the hunting gods we deal with.”

[Karl Malone on twitter]
As we been talking, I been updated by my family and Kyle says: “Hey dad, I’m looking for a husband that plays baseball?” Really Kylie? Shutup.”
“What’s all this twitter, tweet…okay let me get this right cuz kids listening. I don’t tweet, but my daughter wants you to know where she going. What?...okay jump back in here cause I’m taking this show over.”


[’98 Finals - Game 6]
They take a Howard Eisley three and give a Ron Harper (2-pointer). So we playing in Spokane Washington (preseason game, captains meeting pregame), Dick Bavetta he say, ‘Karl, Stock, come here a second.’ He say, ‘guys I have the worst summer of my life that I did that to you’.”
[Did he think refs were crooked?]
I’m not going to say crooked, but did a lot of [refs] have the best interest of themselves in mind? Yes.

well we know at least one commandment Malone has broken. How many times has he mentioned the "hunting gods"?
 
He's still going...

[Running the floor]
"Do you know what a bigman do when he run the floor? A little man, a vertically challenged guy, when he run the floor there’s not a fear…when a bigman run the floor there’s a fear among coaches, and officials, because you bring an energy… first of all you scare the hell out of your big man, and then you might run over a guard. I wanted them to take a charge early on me in the game…My whole mentality of the game was to run, big guys do not like running.”

[Malone on Hayward]
"You have to be very delicate with a young player. He should be a junior in college or seniors? He’s a lottery pick. That kid is going to be okay. That fine line as a coaching staff and an organization. You will be…you got one of the best shooters in the history of the organization on the bench."

"If [Jeff Hornacek] can help Andrei Kirilenko get it towards the ocean, he can help this kid." (I found that hilarious)
"This kid now, he have to get his confidence back but you do that when no lights and cameras are on. Get with Jeff Hornacek.
“Free throw line – which I was terrible at when I started - it be like you operating a backhow…that’s your follow-through. [Hayward] need to get with a guy like Jeff and listen to a shooter. It’s mental. A shooter and a scorer think everyone of them going in. Difference in a scorer and a shooter. I was a scorer, I was not a shooter. Son, I’m saying to him, to Hayward, Gordon, Hayward, they drafted you not for your defensive prowess, because you’re a scorer, slasher, shooter. Start driving to the basket more…he’s tough, I like him. If the shot’s not falling, they stop doing other things. And then the agent calls. And then his brother’s brother calls. And then the kids call and they stop listening to the coach.”
 
Malone for president, He is the most hilarious person to listen to. He says it like it is and thats how we all like to hear it. He carries a dull knife on him at all times (to open envelopes?), Malone is a badass. This is why I loved the Jazz.

Can you imagine Malone trying to coach someone?

Malone: "No son, no. Look, a deaf cat can hear the windblow sometimes, but you got to put the ball in the basket!"

Kanter: "What?"

Malone: Look, just do this move. *Malone shows Kanter a move* "Just put your foot down like a deer in the woods, lightly but not to light"

Kanter: ".........."

Malone: "Enough with this practicing boy, Karl Malone is hungry. I heard you had some turkey?!?"

[On leaving for the Lakers]
"Forget longterm, without a doubt I did not feel [Jazz] they wanted me. i know it wasn't Gail, I know it wasn't Larry I know it wasn't Greg...kinda like what's going on with Peyton Manning...I'm being real guys...they wanted to move on and didn't know how to tell me...

That's bull ****, lies, or he is totally confused.

There is no way Sloan and Larry wanted to move on from Karl. If they did, they would've traded him. This kind of tells you all you need to know about how seriously to take things that Karl says. Besides all of that, they had nothing to move on TO.

They did sign two offer sheets, but were outbid.
 
[Did they call you to work with him?]
No. You can’t beat the fart out of a dead mule, they haven’t called they ain’t gonna call.

This is a huge failure on the record of our management. You have your best player in history begging to come in and work with your new prize, and you don't even call him.
WTF? Karl would be perfect for Kanter. Karl has talked several times about wanting to come in and help. He's just waiting for a call.
