The alleged incident happened in 2004 when Malone was part of the Lakers.

Karl Malone is a very controversial figure in the NBA. Although he mostly just minds his business and doesn't hang around the league anymore, the NBA saw fit to invite him to All-Star Weekend. Of course, this is because the game was in Salt Lake City, Utah, where Malone built a name for himself. However, there is a big issue here. When Malone was in college, he impregnated a 13-year-old. This is one of those things that has been swept under the rug for years. Although, there is a large subset of NBA fans who know all about this.

With all of this being out in the open, fans were simply stunned that the league would invite Malone in the first place. The NBA has not made a single comment about Malone's past, and it is highly unlike that they will. Needless to say, this is a bit of a PR disaster for the league. Moreover, it is leading to increased coverage of Malone's alleged past misdeeds. For instance, Rolling Stone recently did a deep dive into Malone and his alleged actions.

Karl Malone Story

Above, you can see one of the wilder alleged stories about Malone. This story reportedly took place in 2004 and involved Vanessa Bryant. At the time, Malone was on the Lakers and he came to the Staples Center in a cowboy hat. Subsequently, Bryant found the outfit amusing so she asked what he was hunting for. Knowing her Mexican heritage, Malone then replied, "I'm hunting for little Mexican girls." This comment immediately made Bryant feel uncomfortable, although nothing really came of it. As we explained, this is an alleged story, although it is still very concerning, nonetheless.

Fans in Utah did not seem to care about the allegations surrounding Malone. In the Twitter clip down below, you can see that Malone was welcomed back with open arms. Moreover, he got to sit next to his old teammate John Stockton, who has become a conspiracy theorist in retirement. Needless to say, the city of Salt Lake was not sending its best over the weekend. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.
