yup. This article is a rehash/update on info thats been out there for years. Malone was a cheap shot artist as a player (sending many to the hospital w/broken bones) and a complete scumbag off the court. Dude impregnated a 12 year old!!!

Remember when he was bloodying Brian Grant purposeful elbows to the face in the '99 playoffs and then following the games he'd rush off the court with the cameras rolling to embrace/talk to a kid in a wheelchair? The network went right along with the obvious farce despite this Deadbeat Dad info being out there. Here's a wild guess that that relationship ended the day the Blazers eliminated the Jazz.
Can you imagine what the coverage would have been like had one of the "Jailblazers" led such a despicable life?
