Two Karl Malone stories in one day? Two Karl Malone stories in one day!
Earlier, we told you about how the former Jazz great revealed that he shaves his head with a pocket knife during an interview on WFAN's Boomer & Carton. But that's not the only interview Malone did today. He also spoke with Marc Lamont Hill on HuffPost Live this afternoon. And during that interview, he talked about the beef that he had with Kobe Bryant about ten years ago—Malone allegedly hit on Kobe's wife once—and said that he'd be willing to fight Kobe, if Kobe ever wanted to knuckle up with him.
"We had a little issue," he said. "I don't hold grudges…I love Westerns. I'm old-school Western. Back in the day, when you had a beef, you didn't go get guns and knives…We just go back in the back with no cameras and knuckle up. Get it over with."
Malone also said that, while he doesn't necessarily want to fight Kobe, the Lakers star has a "standing offer" to fight him if he ever decides he wants to do it.
"It's a standing offer," he said. "Look, I don't want no trouble. I don't have a problem. People say whatever they want to say and that's great. I'm 6-foot-9, 272 [pounds] to be exact. I'm not hard to find. I don't want no trouble. But if something got to go down, I'm not playing fair."
So if this fight ever did go down, who ya got: The Mailman or The Black Mamba? You can watch Malone's interview below:
