Karl Malone

Everything I've been through, everything I'm about to go through in my career and my life, if my family wasn't with me and didn't support me, it would be really tough.

Marijuana is not tested for, and yet that is the big thing guys are getting in trouble with in the league. It's terrible.

I just want to make a name for myself and get to the next level.

They changed the floor back to old school. They changed the uniform back to old school. Somebody tell the damn players to start playing like old school.

I never felt I had the kind of relationship with Magic that I could just pick up the phone and call him at home.

All records are not made to be broken.

You work for whatever you get in life.

I have to be working, doing things. That's the way I grew up and the way I was taught.

To catch the ball, face up, look at all of my options and then pass. I was playing hot potato. I didn't want to be the guy to stall the triangle.

I spent a lot of time doing things other people wanted me to do, so I'm doing what I want to do now.

At some point in time I will be honored if I would be mentioned as a coach.

Forget the technique. Hit the guy across from you. Don't let somebody come in your space.

But I think anybody who believes I could force coach Sloan to resign is crazy. He's stronger than that and personally if I said that to him, he'd probably go tell me to go do something.

You take the good with the bad and try not to listen to everything said about you because you know it's not good.

You have injuries that bother you when you're not playing. When that horn blows, you don't feel it.

I just work out hard enough that, if I'm craving something, I eat it and know I'm going to burn it off the next day with extra intensity.

Did you really think I would sell you out?

I have such a profound respect for what they do day in and day out. This USO tour is especially meaningful because of the friends I have met and I am honored to be apart of it.

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.

For me to be here tonight, everything had to be perfect. I had to get drafted by Utah, had to play with a point guard like John Stockton, and had to be coached by Jerry Sloan and Frank Layden.

I have my life on a track that I want it on, and I don't want to get off.

Somebody tell the damn players to start playing like old school.

Sometimes, you follow your dreams. I say to the young people, 'If you have a dream, chase it.'

If I got something to say or do to a man, I'm going to look that man in the eye and tell him what is going to happen. That's just me now.

Look at this, scabs and cuts all over me, I get these every night, every game. They can't tell you that you're not at risk, and you can't tell me there's one guy in the N.B.A. who hasn't thought about it.
