Malone is not coming to the Jazz reunion event due to "prior" commitments

Some Jazz fans are such damn babies. People arent allowed to enjoy anything if they arent a championship team I guess. If the Jazz have a bad first half against the Clippers we might as well forfeit the game. If Malone can't come to a celebration show then everything is ruined. Whine whine whine whine.

And by no means am I saying you should settle or be content with not being the best, but you should be able enjoy the process and look back at what you accomplished and be proud of it, even if you fell short in the end.

Got us over the hump? The collective hump for all teams in the playoffs is a championship. Period. This is blatant lowering of the proverbial bar. If you make the finals and don't win the chip, it's still disappointing. All this franchise has had is decades of disappointing playoff endings.

I agree completely. Championships are the goal. But if you lived through the 90's as a Jazz fan you understand what I mean by over the hump. We had several good teams that fell short in the Western Conference playoffs. And if you lived through the 90's you understand how big it was when Stockton it that 3 in Game 6 of the WCF to finally get us to the Finals. It wasn't the ultimate goal but it was still a huge moment.

I wonder if they'll be passing out orange slices to all of those that attend.

Damn bro, the lack of accomplishment you feel in your life makes you a bitter dude.

We all love you, VINYLONE!

It's too bad if he's holding that against the Jazz. Karl has been very all over the place in retirement and I seriously doubt he would have held down some sort of permanent job offer from the Jazz when there's so much hunting and fishing to be done.

That and his family lives in Louisiana. He still has kids in HS and he has a son at LSU. He probably likes living where he lives close to his family. I also really doubt the coaching staff wants his help that much. Being a great player doesnt not equal being able to teach. The thing I remember most about Malone's last session with Favors/Gobert/Kanter is that he was baffled that players wear modern protective gear like compression sleeves and knee braces.
 
I thought it was a nice idea by the jazz, even if it makes me feel so old.

Too bad Malone can't make it, but then he always had a way of disappearing in big games....
 
When I first heard of the re-union I was 50/50 that Malone would come anyways. He doesn't want to come or he legit has a prior engagement. Not a big deal at all. Not everyone goes to high school re-unions. Does it ruin it for everyone else? Of course not. It will still be an awesome night and we will kick some ***. His wife mentioned this almost a full month ago.

I dunno, my take is that's the kind of person Malone is. If he isn't the main attraction he doesn't feel like showing up.



He'll show up on his terms, in his own time and free will.
