Wow Wemby is already the GOAT. More people should speak up about this. Karl Malone raped and impregnated a 13 year old girl.

He didn't do anything his current president wouldn't do

Respect to Wemby for this

Why would the NBA twitter tweet this? What is there to be gained by it? Nothing. What is there to be looked at negatively with it? A lot.

I feel embarrassed that I rooted for those Jazz teams over the Bulls in those finals series. If I had known about Malone back then, I would have never. I only rooted for them as the underdog. It's shocking that Karl Malone never spent any time in jail.

Pretty sure they are released. It's just a matter of whether or not the information has been distributed to enough people, and secondly, for people to hopefully care about something like that.

I'm curious what does Wemby gain from this?

It’s kind of embarrassing this young man is the first to actual push back on Karl. Everyone else inside the nba bubble too spineless.


Good on him.

It's never really been a secret that Malone impregnated a young teen girl and held back on financially supporting the child.

People just used to be more nonchalant about celebrities personal behaviours.

To me - it's not about a personal gain, but just voicing his opinion which he should not have any reason to fear.

As a child/teen I was not aware. I was a big basketball fan, but never knew about that. I did know about other things like Toni Braxton breaking up the Triple J in Dallas because Jimmy Jackson took her out on a date when Jason Kidd was running late. The reason I became aware of the issue is because I'm also a Philadelphia Eagles fan and found out about the story of Demetress Bell.
