Karl Malone's Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech 

Wow. Amazing speech. The Mailman saved his best delivery for last.

I love that almost everyone has an inside joke with Barkley somewhere in their speech. Got to love Chuck.

'what good is success if you've got no one to share it with' - true words, Karl

Karl Malone put the Power in Forward.

37 thousand points, 15 thousand rebouds, 2 MVPs, one of the greatest players in history and he entered in HOF twice. But still appears nobodys with stupid "no rings" argument. The low post, the fast break, the shooting. Ring or no ring he was a beast. Who can put 24-10-4 during 20 fucking years? Only Abdul Jabbar did it. Glad he brought Willis Reed. One of the greatest and underrated centers of all time.

Karl Malones voice doesn’t match his body type

Karl and Stockton deserved a championship

It would of been cool to see Stockton go up with the Mailman.

great player.. its a shame that players like him, Barkley or Patrick Ewing didn't win a ring.. or Dominique

I wasn't the biggest fan of the Mailman, but he did play in the Jordan, Magic, and Bird era and deserves to be a hall of Famer. His speech is moving and he was truly touched. Bravo!

That southern accent

this man was so underrated he’s literally never in top 5 talks but he’s 2nd all time in points

His elbow is the best on nba history.

His children....well the ones that can be there

if anyone against him for going into the hall of fame or support him please write below in the quora thanks ! www.quora.com/What-about-Karl-Malone-helped-enshrine-him-into-the-Basketball-Hall-of-Fame

I met the Mailman in Vegas with his son once. He was really stoked to meet me and even introduced me to his son. Thanks for all those years of putting on such a great show for us all.

6 minutes, bro? Jeff Hornacek couldn't get an honorable mention, though?

Karl "The Mailman" Malone what a career and what a nickname...The Mailman delivers and did for many years.

EDP’s favorite athlete

Karl Malone..... Great player. Nuff said

I agree with you. Malone is overlooked because he never won a ring, but people forget how good he was. Over the course of 19 seasons, he averaged 25 ppg on 51.6% shooting! Along with 10 rpg. Amazing numbers considering his longevity.

Great modest guy. Same as John Stockton, maybe that's why they were like brothers. Shame that they never won NBA championship. They deserved it.

Karl and John best duo to not have a ring 🙌🏻

2 mvps and 3 denied children

Karl and John as a duo is a great axample of a tandem. always looking for each other to get the job done.

I also grew up in that small town of Summerfield La. He and my oldest brother played basketball together and graduated together. I new him and his family as a child. His mother had a small store in Holy Ridge. We would stop there after church somedays. She new that my favorite candy was those little strawberry flavored candies with the wrapper that looked like a strawberry. Sometimes she would sneak one into my hand. She was a lovely woman. I have many other stories that has to do with Karl but this one that includes his mother is my fondest. Congrats Karl. You deserve it.

I remember as kid watching him and thinking how does he not miss any shots. Pure class.

that was one of the most respectful and humble acceptance speeches I have ever witnessed. It was Simple, Heartfelt, Honest.

Great speech Karl, short simple and meaningful.

Dear Karl, you are not just the best power forward in the history of NBA. As you say, it’s not about that. I think you’re best athlete ever. You and John, you complete each other. Perfect duo. I’m European and as a kid I spent so many nights watching your games. 95-99 seasons. And I’m so thankfull for that. You Karl and John, you are simple the best!!!! Best regards!

That’s what a hall of Fame speech should be. It was so humble that it was great!!

Karl Malone - all time great player, all time terrible human.

Karl Malone 1st round pick in 1985 86 All-Rookie Team 14x All Star ⭐️ Number two all time scorer in history 2x All Star MVP ⭐️ 2x league MVP 🏆 2x Gold medal 🥇 🇺🇸 4x All-Defense 11x All-NBA First Team

What a great speech. Very humble. Well respected.

My favourite player when i was a kid in the 90s, instead of spending his millions on a Mazerati or a Ferrari he bought a massive 18 wheller truck so he could just drive it around. I didn't mind at all when he went to LA so he could get a ring, if anyone deserved one it was him (and Stock of course)

Maybe the best forward ever. Hard to say since there have been so many great ones. His durability and longevity are greater than any other.

I grew up in a country where Rugby is everything but I fell in love with the Bulls of the 90s but the more I got into basketball the more I did research on other teams and it was Stockton & Malone that caught my eye and I’ve been a Jazz fan since the 90s thank you Malone for the memories wooohoooo JAZZ!!

13!!!

this dude is extremely well spoken an was a hell of a competitor

Ive watched his battles with the bulls in my highschool days. This guy was a tank. A very solid tank.

The Great Mr. Karl Malone. 🤙🏿❤️ thank you for the great memories.

One of the all time greatest! Hats off to the Karl “the mailman” Malone 🙏🏻

Top player. Legend. I try to imitate his shot. I love how Malone played.

She was 13 karl

You will always be first in my heart. Thank you

She was 13 Karl. Be a man and accept yo son

This is a good speech from a really good player. It made me cry :)

Basketball's iron man

Tall and athletic version of EDP

Mailman delivered every single time on the court !! Great athlete and to me best power forward ever ! Much deserved hall of famer !

Dude was a real deal back in his prime. Very nice speech, very humble legend #realtalk

We appreciate you mailman for those memoirs from UTAH JAZZ.

One of the greatest scorers of all time.

One of the best to ever to do it ! I still remember like it was yesterday I was in front of my tv with my brothers watching Karl and John in the 90’s trying to learn how to pass like Stockton but guard like Malone good old days

Great speech! Great player, humble human being, one of the best talents ever to enter the NBA, always hard working at improving his game. The Mailman always delivers! Thanks for your contribution to the basketball game Mr Mailman!

Well, if you don't shed a tear watching that, you ain't got a heart. Well done Mailman, always delivers!

If he could of left Kobe's wife alone he could of had 2 or 3 rings and possibly the all time scoring record. I'm not judging I'm just saying.

Excellent very very touching!! NYC Loves you Brother JULY 2017!!

Malone is hall of shame

Knocked up a 13 year old, when he was in his 20's...

that 13 yrs old girl so proud of you..

Karl Malone, worked his butt off! A great player and very genuine!

Looked up to this man and fell in love with his game

One of my favorite players of all time. Shame him and Stockton didnt win 1 championship.

One love Karl. Your not perfect but your appreciated thank you god bless

Thanks Karl for all the great games! We had a fantastic time!

I love this mane god bless you

jerry sloan still looks the same ,..never get old..

So honest and sincere, well earned

WoW, amazing. Karl is a Gentle Giant, very sensitive. Big hugs for you. And your lovely family 🤗💝🙏 GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, KARL. ALL THESE OLD SCHOOL NBA'ers ARE STILL MY HEROES. CAN'T COPY THEM.

If you consider that Tim Duncan actually was/is more of a center than pure power forward, then Karl Malone is the greatest power forward of all time. Ring or no ring.

Great guy and hard working player 👍😁🇺🇲

"I'm country, I love it." - The Mailman ❤

I watch these speeches from these old players I grew up watching. This has to be the best out of 100 or so.

Great job. You have left your mark in the NBA. Power Player. Thank you sir

Probably the best player in history,without the ring. One last delivery from the Mailman!

Karl was very good I rank him 13th of all Time (btw I am 13)

I idolised Malone since I was 15yo. Being an Australian we didn't get much NBA games at home so I mailed away to join the Jazz fanclub just before the Dream Team Olympics and I got back a plethora of Jazz merch that I didn't expect. By the time the Jazz got in the finals, NBA games were shown at midnight on tv here. Although they didn't win, I remained a Utah fan for life. The magic between Malone and Stockton made a lot of fans in Australia when most were on the Bulls bandwagon. Im so glad I was lucky to be born in this era, growing up with 90s NBA. I don't think there will ever be another era like that.

Karl Marlone I love you so much💖💖💖 Mileman, I have cried too!! Long live to you

It was beautiful to see Karl so emotional.

mr malone you sir deserved to win a championship !!

What a humble recipient of the HoF and what a downright amazing player Karl Malone was and will be. I salute you, Mr Malone! (Y)

I thought he will put his elbow on the mic.

THIS SPEECH TOUCH MY HEART SO HARD HAD ME CRYING TOO , ESPECIALLY ( THE END)ABOUT HIS MOM ! PARADISE LIES AT THE FEET OF YOUR MOTHER! HUMBLE AND MANNERS IS WHAT HIS MOTHER AND FATHER TAUGHT HIM AND HIS MANNERISM, " IT WASN'T ABOUT ME!" A TRUE HUMBLE (HOF) LEGEND!!!

What a player was The Mailman Karl Malone , one of the greatest of all time

As a Utah Native, It hurts to see Malone & Stockton, two great players and no ring to show for it.

Karl that was a heart felt speech

Louisiana Tech Karl in basketball and Terry Bradshaw in football.

Karl n john make histori .nice family karl god bless you.

Stockton spent half his speech saying he would be nothing without Malone (which it was obviously the other way around) and Malone mentioned him once. Just mentioned his name.

sharpest elbows in the league!!! he damn near killed David Robinson. on "accident".... best strongest power forward to ever play the game right there!!!!

Karl Malone & John Stockton are legends that will be remembered for many years to come. They took the Bulls to the brink of losing .

He’s a great player and that’s all.

Karl is so good on 2k he’s a 97 he should be a 99 just disrespecting him

Great baller, and an even greater person . Congratulations "Mailman " !

Jogou muito!!! Abraços do 🇧🇷

Beautiful

Stockton and Malone ❤️ They wont ever be another better... saldy championship less... Duo In NBA history
