Karl Malone Interview

[LifeOnaPlate]

Malone's work ethic doesn't mean jack unless he can communicate effectively with the players...which I have my doubts about.

bingo. Malone may not be able to communicate the things that made him great.

Karl Malone would be a good coach until right after his first interview. And then, after blowing up a player or two, he would lose the total team.

Now, Karl Malone as a scout? Hmmmmmm.

Beat me to it. He almost comes across desperate, like a parent trying to live through a child.

Everything goes fine til a player questions him or challenges his authority.

Wasn't he part of the All-NBA Interview team for years? How did he do that without effective communication skills?

It's not that he can't communicative, it's the manner in which he does. Malone alienates people because he pulls no punches. He's like Charles except he's even more blunt.

 

[Zerol]

Surprised that he's lobbying for a job.

 

[Revolution 9]

After listening to this whole interview one thing is clear. This team needs Karl Malone. We need Karl Malone. Karl Malone needs Karl Malone. and Greg Miller needs money.
Somehow it all adds up.

 

[Zerol]

HAHAHA i like that when he said Blake should have jumped over Toyota 4-Runner...

Right, and when he's simply dead wrong about something he can't manage to see other perspectives, thus causing problems and so forth.

He would bring the one thing the Jazz definitely lost in the last two weeks; character. Take that as a joke or as a serious comment, it applies either way.

He knows how he is and how people view him, which is why he said "let's give it a shot, if it doesn't work, then we're fine." And I believe him. I think he's grown as much being away from basketball as when he was playing. His rough-around-the-edges honesty I think could be huge for team chemistry, especially since he can be fun or a hell of a bad cop.
