What If Karl Malone Had Gone On Maury Povich?

A few of you may be familiar with the story Sportaphile posted on Karl Malone’s son Demetrius Bell. Demetrius was conceived with a 13 year old girl named Gloria Bell while Karl was a a 20 something year old in college. Being anti-Karl Malone all my life…. I predictably let him have it (and he deserved it), but it warmed my heart to see a law professor at Howard University do the same.

Lisa A. Crooms says everything exactly the way I would have …. if I happened to be a law professor who used perfect grammar.

“One person I’m sure is glad Maury wasn’t deep into his babydaddy thing in the 1980s is Karl Malone. In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit I’ve never liked Karl Malone and, for that reason, I’ve been a die-hard anti-Utah Jazz fan. Whether it’s a function of his famous flop, whining about referees’ calls or his counter-Charles Barkley, “I am a role model” crap, I always found it easy to dislike Malone’s game.

If Maury had embarked on his golden formula a decade earlier, however, it is easy to imagine an episode that introduced Maury fans to two mothers, three children and one man. Bonita Ford and Gloria Bell claim Karl Malone impregnated them as teenagers and failed to take care of his responsibilities.”

You know how Maury does those cheesy pre-confrontation vignettes? With a guy standing in a dark room with a fog machine to add ambiance, and the proceeds to read cue cards that say how angry he is?

“I am a budding national basketball star, and I won’t these two small town SKANKS ruin my life with babies that ain’t mine Maury!!!”

Anyways… head over to The Root to read Lisa’s piece… .good stuff.

Utah Jazz Fans: Angry, Offensive, and Borderline Racist

Kobe Utah Trial

In case you missed out on my post concerning Karl Malone and his illegitimate child with an underaged woman….. I hate the Utah Jazz. I always have and I always will.

This article over on Bleacher Report highlights a semi disturbing trend concerning the Jazz fans.

Utah fans have been overheard chanting “CANCER” when Derek Fisher touches the ball. Fisher’s baby daughter suffers from retinoblastoma, a rare type of eye cancer.

As Derek Fisher went to the line to shoot free throw after a technical foul, a fan behind the basket covered his right eye and began screaming at the Lakers’ point guard.

It doesn’t end there folks.. During the 2007 playoff series between Golden State and Utah, a few Warriors players recalled hearing racial insults from the stands.

When asked the difference between playing on the road and at home during the series against the Jazz, Warrior’s forward Stephen Jackson said, “”Well, we’re not hearing racial slurs, we’re not hearing people wishing for me to go to jail,” Jackson said. “That’s the difference for me. I’m loved here in Oakland.”

Jason Richardson was asked about the racial slurs and responded, “That was something new. It shocked all of us. We weren’t expecting that. I mean, [Jazz fans] were trying to get into our heads any way they can, but I couldn’t believe anybody would stoop that low. It’s nonsense.”

I suggest you head over to the Bleacher Report to read the entire thing. Feel from to drop a few comments and let me know what you think.
