The Jazz won't have an All-Star in New Orleans next weekend.

But they will have a Hall of Famer.

Karl Malone will team up with the Thunder's Kevin Durant and the WNBA's Skylar Diggins for the ShootingStars competition.

When he was in Salt Lake for Jerry Sloan's ceremony, Malone recalled how his old coach used to hate it when he would shoot 3s — "even though I made a few," Malone said.

This time, the Mailman will have a chance to huck freely.

...I suspect that if Durant and Malone would team up against any other current NBA player AND Michael Jordan, even Lebron James....and it was "make it, take it", Durant and Malone would slap knots on there heads faster than they could rub them! Whatever shot Durant would miss....Malone would grab, and the pick and role Durant would run with Malone would be unstoppable....well, almost unstoppable!

Malone & Durant... that's a pretty random pair TBH.

A fun pairing, I know in the last home GS game he talked about Durant but particularly Griffin- "Lose your mind and I'l will pay your fine" Absolute legend.

I hope he calls Kanter first and tells him to watch how a real man works.

Good to see Malone "in action" action. I still want to see Malone, Stock, and Jordon in a Legends game.

Malone is actually a really good shooter. He can shoot a completely flat line-drive shot from mid-range and basically hit from all over. It's just in games that he jumps and uses a soft touch.
