Not just Laker fans. I think he is one of the dirtiest players-but
what gets me is his holier than thou attitude after cheap shotting
some one.

<sigh> I still have hopes that he won't end up a Spur.

Funny how dislike can turn to hate so quickly. Within the blink of an eye.

Of course it was never the fan's fault, and after all it should be
Malone's fault, he should have been suspended, punished and hanged for
arguing with a "fan" that purchased illegal tickets for $25000, was
drunk, and entered the court, something that he should not be allowed to
do, and then spit on Karl, calling him names, ..etc.


And we all know that things like that never happen in the Palace of
Auburn Hills.
