Bomani Jones had some big words to say about Karl Malone and his role in the 2023 All-Star weekend. This is always a controversial topic of discussion around the NBA world, but Jones wasn’t shy to express his opinion on this and call out whoever needed to be called out.  

The Utah Jazz legend was invited to participate in a series of activities this weekend, including being a judge of the Slam Dunk contest. As we all now know, Mac McClung ‘saved’ the contest with his incredible performance, drawing a lot of attention from fellow players and fans. 

However, not everything was a reason to be happy, and Jones perfectly explained that when he talked about Malone’s presence at Vivint Arena this weekend. The veteran analyst had some things to get off his chest, and he did it. 


Bomani Jones Goes Off On Karl Malone For His Participation In All-Star Weekend Activities 

Jones was asked what he thought of Malone’s participation in the All-Star Weekend, and he went on a lengthy rant, calling out the NBA for allowing Malone, a man that impregnated a 12-year-old girl before his NBA career started and is not getting any backlash for that. 

The gasp from the audience was palpable when Bo mentioned Karl Malone impregnating a literal child. I’m surprised how many people don’t know this about him.

“What are your thoughts on Karl Malone being a huge part of All-Star weekend? You can basically make this question ‘What are your thoughts about Karl Malone?’ and stop it right there. Like, it doesn’t have to be an occasion because I hated Karl Malone so much before I had a great reason. I only had good ones, like just being a dirty player, elbowing people all the time, you know, that sort of stuff.

And then, you know, we found out the whole thing. If you don’t know this, that, when he was in college, Karl Malone had a baby with a 13-year-old. There’s never been any sort of reckoning for Malone because Malone lays low. Like he’s just out there in the country, driving his semi, doing whatever it is Karl Malone does out there.

But if you’re doing something for Utah basketball, it’s like Karl Malone– so we got Karl Malone and John Stockton. John Stockton is ‘crazy conspiracy guy.’ And I’m just like, ‘I know a lot of people that think crazy things.’ As long as you don’t say it on the microphone there, I guess, right? But Karl Malone… you’re kind of supposed to leave him at home. Except if you’re the league. I heard a lot of y’all when I told you all those details you had never heard before. All right?

And so, ‘Why is Karl Malone not there?’ Then you make this more of a story. And so, I would imagine there’s a very cynical outlook on how to play it. So, I never wanna see Karl Malone all time, any other point. But he’s going to be there, and it’s going to be wild uncomfortable for a lot of people. And then tomorrow we’re gonna forget it ever happened.”

In case you don’t know, like a lot of people in the audience of Jones’ show, Malone got this girl pregnant while he was in his 20s. This case should have been a lot worse than it was, but things were actually really quiet, allowing Malone to start his NBA career and have a very successful tenure in the association. 

Jones didn’t agree with any of this, and he made that clear. For him, Karl Malone shouldn’t even be allowed to be linked with the NBA.
