So you are saying that the incidents described on the website didn't take place? The ones mentioned since I started following basketball certainly did, and there are plenty I specificially remember that the site doesn't even get to. How do put bias on, "Malone swung his elbow at somebody and broke his nose." This is a black and white issue. Spin really isn't possible, unless you're trying to defend the guy.
Karl Malone has maliciously assaulted numerous NBA players, and doesn't have one bit of remorse about it. The league knows he's going to do hurt someone again, but doesn't ever do anything about it. IMO, he deserved something like a year-long suspension, for repeated acts of violence, about a decade ago.
There isn't a player in all of professional sports who behaves so callously. At least Todd Bertuzi was apologetic about his hit.
Malone gets "hated" on because he deserves it. Plain and simple.
