The Mailman delivers himself to retirement

Karl Malone, a.k.a the Mailman (because he always delivers) announced his retirement this week after and distinguished career that left him as the #2 scorer in NBA history. He ends his career only 1459 points behind the great Kareem Abdul Jabbar, had he played the whole year Malone might have been able to reach that record. Malone retired as a member of the Utah Jazz, only fitting since he played all but one year of his career there. Karl never got a ring, but he was a force in his day, I loved watching him play when he was with the Jazz, the guy was a monster out there with a great jump hook. It seemed like he hardly ever missed within 10 feet of the rim and he was also a great rebounder as well.

We will miss you mailman!
