Karl Malone was chosen by the Jazz in 1985 out of Louisiana Tech with the 13th overall pick in the draft. After his rookie season, the Jazz saw in him the potential to be the cornerstone of their offense. So, they traded star forward, Adrian Dantley, to the Detroit Pistons and decided to build around Malone. At the same time, reserve point guard John Stockton was winning the trust of the coaching staff and the love of the fans. By 1987, Malone was the foundation of the offense and Stockton was the floor general and both had All-Star seasons. That season was also the first for head coach Jerry Sloan, The three would be inseparable for 16 seasons. It was also at the end of that season that the Jazz as a team rose to national prominence after an amazing playoffs series against the Magic Johnson-led Los Angeles Lakers. For many years, he and Stockton played together on the Jazz, forming one of the most productive guard-forward combinations in NBA history. The two played a record 1,412 regular-season games together as teammates. Playing Jerry Sloan's scrappy and tough style and perfecting the pick and roll to a maximum degree of efficiency, the Jazz became a staple to make it to the playoffs and to have a winning record in the regular season. He would lead the Jazz to multiple 50-win seasons with the exception of 1992-93 (47-35) w the Jazz stumbled after the All-Star Game (when he and Stockton won co-MVP honors), 2001-02's 44-38 finish and 2002-03 w they finished again with a 47-35 record.

By the early 1990s the Utah Jazz had risen to power as one of the top teams in the league and had started to knock on the doors of the NBA Finals. They finally got t in 1997 and 1998 but were defeated both times by the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. Karl stayed on active duty for one more season, joining the Los Angeles Lakers in an attempt to win a championship, the only major achievement absent in his career. His bid failed as the Lakers were defeated in five games by the Detroit Pistons in 2004 NBA Finals in a series w Malone sprained his right knee and played injured for 4 of the 5 games before missing game 5 with the Lakers down 3-1 and series over. Although several NBA teams sought his services for the 2004-05 season, Malone decided to retire as a player on February 13, 2005. The Jazz retired his number 32 jersey in his honor. Though Malone has been retired for more than three years, the Lakers never renounced his rights.

Karl is a sure Hall of famer and is probably one of the top 2 power forwards of all time. Own a piece of history and bid today. Thank you for viewing and please see my other auctions. Payment is due within 7 days of the end of the auction.
