Karl Malone used a combination of local radio interviews and The Salt Lake City Tribune as his personal launching pad for shots fired at his former Utah Jazz organization last week. On the one year anniversary of the last game Jerry Sloan coached in Utah, the Mailman delivered his own grade for how he felt the Jazz handled that situation.
