"I hope I did it the way my peers did it before me. I didn’t do anything but try to play hard." ― Karl Malone Topic(s): Hope More From Karl Malone "I have many friends and family members who have served (or are currently serving) in our nation’s Armed Forces. I have such a profound respect for what they do day in and day out." "I don’t know what my label is. I just think of myself as a plain forward. I like to think I have some finesse to my game, but inside the paint is where men are made. If you can’t play there, you should be home with your mama." "I never felt I had the kind of relationship with Magic that I could just pick up the phone and call him at home."

Sooner or later everything is touched by it, despite our naive and senseless hope that just this time we will be spared its cold hand on our heart."― Jonathan Carroll
