Wow that sucks. If you don't have both Stockton and Malone there together kind of a bummer considering its the best duo ever... Thats the same as the Bulls doing an event in like manner and Pippen being there but MJ not showing up...

I bet he shows up.

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.

It doesn't matter if Karl's slight is real or imagined, it's what he feels. And Karl was "all over the place" when he played here as well. It seemed like every summer he found something the Jazz did or didn't do that dissed him, after several years of which, Larry finally quit wasting his time trying to soothe Karl's butt hurt and would just shake his head and walk away.

No, it's much more like Jordan will be there and Pippen won't.

I think fans of the 90s Jazz have Stockton edging out Malone for top spot in our hearts.

But I'm surprised Stockton will make it. He's not into that type of stuff. And I haven't seen any evidence that he feels any connection to the state since he left.

He's been to a few of the games. And they had another promotion he showed up for (not sure which one). And yea Stockton was my favorite player though Malone was probably the Better player.

Well, Malone's ties to the Jazz were primarily through Larry and Jerry. There is no one in the current Jazz organization that Malone gives a whit about. The fact that the Jazz refused his offer of help with coaching or player training had to offend him, so why should he care about a Jazz promotion?

Be content with our memories and move on.

I love Malone but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Just because someone is a hall of famer it doesn't automatically make anything they say as valuable to younger players. You've seen the analysis made by the TNT HOFs. Most of their insight is drivel. I could honestly see him say a bunch of **** about being hard nosed yadda yadda and not actually give the players anything to take away that's actually useful except maybe he thinks they're a ***** and needs to get of his lawn.

Karl can do whatever he wants. Maybe he's doing a huge bbq with family or spending a whole day at Disneyland with the neice. Hell, he could be planning to snort crack for the entire day for all we care. Karl is gonna do what Karl gonna do. Let the man be.

It's a pick and roll league now and KM is aN undisputed master. Can he pass that knowledge along? I don't know but if he cold it would be very valuable.

I just don't give af.

Last I heard of any interaction between Malone and the Jazz was when they hired him to work out Kanter and Favors. That just sort of faded away and it's seemed pretty quiet between the 2 parties ever since.

Training did not go well and was squashed.

I bet he shows up.

Doesn't matter. Bavetta will show up pre-game and wave the event off.
