Stockton, Sloan and Malone be my idols growing up and show that they are good people

I'm with you on Stockton.

I think I'm with you on Sloan.

But I'm not sure Karl Malone fits into the "good people" category. He's certainly not someone I'd encourage kids to emulate.

you just gotta keep a healthy balance of all 3

[DelaneyRudd]

Karls flaws have been more public, but every hero has em.

[kebutah]

Karl's drive to improve, work ethic, and performance all are worth emulating. Like everybody else he is not a perfect person.

LEHI, Utah (AP) - The owner of the Utah Jazz's NBA Development League team wants to see Michael Jordan go 1-on-1 against Bryon Russell one more time.

Brandt Andersen is offering a $100,000 donation to the charity of the winner's choice if he can get Jordan and Russell to play a game of 21.

Jordan's jumper over Russell in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA finals gave the Chicago Bulls a 4-2 series win over Utah. Jazz fans still insist Jordan pushed off Russell.

During Jordan's Hall of Fame speech, he said he was motivated by Russell's trash talk toward him during his first retirement.

Andersen says he has spoken to Russell and left a message for Jordan through a mutual friend. Andersen's suggestion: Jordan vs. Russell during halftime of the Utah Flash's home opener.
