No way Malone was under 5% body fat. He was probably more in the 6-8% range. You can't be a pro athlete his size and have the little body fat and mantain your body throughout a NBA season.

Actually, about 15 or so years ago, I read something on a personal site that Harpring had and he talked about using glucosamine chrondroitin for his knees. I was playing in a 50 and over league then, and having some issues with arthritis. He sent back a message, explaining his regimen and what supplements he was taking. While I was a major AK fan, I don't recall any interactions with him. However, I have had personal interactions with Bob Lanier and Pat Riley, both funny stories before they became famous.

Weren’t you the dude who looked up where AK lived and staked out his place or something?

Apocryphal story some guys made up because I called up One Brow once because I thought he was harassing me. Actually, it was Kanter. They said I broke into his house and stole his underwear. Of course not true.
I really hope Georges didnt come here and read all the slander on his name.
Let’s not rehash the OneBrow saga. Especially not here. Especially not on Christmas.

Yeah, you can google it. And I can’t be the only one who remembers Stockton and Malone competed to see who came into training camp with the lowest body fat. It was over a number of years.

Just explaining how the Kanter story originated.

[/quote]In the years to come, Karl Malone and I competed for the lowest body fat until we both got below what the staff thought were safe levels for a season of competition. Each of us teetered between 1 and 3 percent.
Sorry, did the quote wrong.
Sorry, did the quote wrong.
The lowest number that came up on a google search was 4.8%, which I still don't believe because body fat is often measured incorrectly. But the biggest thing is that he isnt anywhere close to 3%.

Back in the day, Jeff Malone was at RC Willey in Orem signing autographs late in the evening. There was no one around and we got to chat with him for a like 20 minutes.
There are similar stories I have with Greg Ostertag at ShopKo in Spanish Fork and Antione Carr at a gas station in Springville raising money for a basketball summer camp.
All were good dudes, especially Carr, him and his family were great to chat with

You must be using bing search, LOL.
Generally not healthy to go too low, but many athletes do it with no ill effect observed.

I don't recall now. I did starting taking it. Not sure if it helped. I stopped taking it and instead took MSM which seemed to help more. Yoga is really good and so is swimming, if you are a swimmer. They keep you loose and flexible which is the key. Just keep playing but don't overdo it. If you twinge something, just stop, don't play on it because when you're older, your body takes time to recover.
I don't question if these things were reported, I Just don't believe them. Maybe what I know is just a myth, but Im pretty sure being below 5% is unhealthy and decreases athletic performance.
There's just no way in hell Malone ever played or trained at 2.6% body fat. I can kind of believe just below 5%, but not sub 3%. That's like what body builders get to right before a competition and it's very taxing to their health.

John Stockton's book references a similar low percentage. There are many athletes documented to be under 4% at the top of their game. With proper diet it is doable. But you believe what you want.
It's most likely not accurate reporting used to ego boost or brag.
What are you talking about. He doesn't get any hate. He's obviously a great guy. I'd love to hang out with him. Sounds like he has an interesting life story.
It's his sub-par basketball skills and general on-the-court suckitude that we hate.
