Karl Malone is a Menace
卡爾馬龍是一個恐怖份子
by ricealum
According to an informal poll cited by Sports Illustrated, "50%
of NBA players consider Malone physical but entirely within the
rules, 40% say that he tests the upper limit of physicality too
frequently, and 10% believe that he's outright dirty."
根據一項非正式的投票結果指出：有百分之五十的 NBA球員認為 Malone
的肢體動作合於規則，有百分之四十則說 Malone 太頻於測試肢體動作的
最上限，其餘的百分之十相信他是絕對地骯髒。
That was then. The number is far higher now. For instance, Malone
has been voted many times as the dirtiest player in the league by
athletes and fans alike.
這個統計已過去，然而時至今日，相信他骯髒的比例大幅提高。例如，
Malone已經多次被球員予球迷票選為聯盟中最骯髒的球員。
Last year, Karl Malone is nuts about pro wrestling, tractor pulls,
and 18 wheelers. He is also a great actor. His specialty is
flailing his arms around and flying through the air, and flopping
on the ground while pretending to be fouled.
就在去年(譯者：我也不知道是哪一年)，Malone熱衷職業摔角、拖曳車和
十八啦車(譯者：我也不知道是什麼玩意兒)。同時，Malone也是一個偉大
的演員，因為他的專長就是跳在空中揮動他的手臂，被犯規時趴塌地落在
地上。
Karl Malone is one of the league's most popular players. The NBA
banks on his popularity, and even helps him along, padding his
stats with phantom fouls resulting in thousands of free throws
he doesn't deserve, and keeping him in many games by not calling
fouls he does deserve. More often than not, they also look the
other way and do nothing when Malone pulls some stunt that would
get most players suspended, like kicking a player in the crotch.
Malone's career is a long and dirty one, with more hospitalizations
caused than any other player in NBA history.
再者，Malone也是聯盟中最受歡迎的球員，聯盟為他的受歡迎度下注加碼，
甚至順著她幫著他，用那些有名無實的犯規在他的數據灌水，使他得到太
多他原本不該擁有的罰球，並且讓他在太多場比賽中逃過犯規的吹罰。甚
至，聯盟對於Malone做出一些會被禁賽的驚人演出視而不見且未作處置，
例如腳踢他人的褲檔等。因此，Malone的生涯又長又髒，他是 NBA史上讓
最多人送入醫院的球員。
Some important events in Karl Malone's career:
以下是Malone生平重要事蹟(以下翻譯省略)：
* Malone plays dentist, tries to remove Steve Nash's tooth
* In 1984, while still playing for Louisiana Tech, Malone let us see
a glimpse of the future when he (apparently) intentionally elbowed
Rice center Dave Ramer in the face. Ramer required plastic surgery
to reconstruct his face and Malone's career as a thug was born.
Ramer never played again.
* Lewis Lloyd: The Forehead from Hell
A few years later, in the NBA, Malone struck again in a game against
the Rockets in Utah. Lewis Lloyd grabbed a rebound, and as he was
falling out of bounds, Malone took a step backwards to deliberately
floor him with a malicious elbow. Lloyd got stitches, Malone didn't
even get a foul called on him.
* Isiah Thomas: The 40 Stitch "Lesson"
In December 1991, Isiah Thomas, one of the league's most loved
superstars, was driving to the basket and Karl Malone "went for
the ball" but somehow managed to hit Isiah's face so hard with
an "unintentional" elbow that Thomas had to be carries from the
court and required plastic surgery and forty stitches.
Malone was assessed a flagrant foul and given a $10,000 fine and
a one-game suspension. Malone, of course, claimed it was an
accident and did not mean to hurt Thomas. After the incident, he
talked to Isiah and denied the elbow was deliberate and offered
no apology.
* Sydney Moncrief: After a game in which Malone sent Atlanta Hawk Sidney
Moncrief sprawling, according to Sports Illustrated, fellow Hawk,
Dominique Wilkins stung the Mailman with a rebuke, to this effect:
"You're a cheap-shot artist. You're not a man. You always go out there
to hurt somebody smaller than you."
* Interview in Playboy, April 1989
* In the deciding game of the 1997 playoff series against the Houston
Rockets, the Jazz won on a last second shot by John Stockton.
Stockton was wide open because Karl Malone had set an illegal pick
against Clyde Drexler. A judgment call, you say? Maybe, but Malone
literally wrapped his arms around Drexler and picked him up, carrying
him several feet.
* Donyell Marshall:
On April 9, 1998, Karl Malone ended Donyell Marshall's season when
an "inadvertent" knee broke Marshall's rib. As poor Donyell lay in
agony on the floor, visions of Dave Ramer must have played in
Malone's head. But unlike Malone's college coach, Jerry Sloan had
no sympathy for the mauled victim. He rushed out on the court to
moan at the officials, claiming Marshall had been playing illegal
defense.
* David Robinson: A preview of Wrestlemania
In April of 1998, Malone was suspended yet again for a flagrant
elbow. This time, the victim was former MVP and sportsman of the
year David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs. Malone was fined
$5,000 and suspended for one game, which, incredibly, ended his
streak of consecutive starts at 543. That's right, despite all
the vicious elbows and knees he had thrown over the years, the
NBA had not suspended Malone since the Isiah incident. Obviously,
Malone was feeling entitled.
* Brent Price and Matt Bullard: Pretty White Boys Shouldn't Complain
Houston guard Brent Price accused Malone of attempting to injure him.
Brent Price said, "They [Stockton and Malone] are both pretty good
actors. They might want to go to Hollywood after their careers."
* Shawn Bradley and Don Nelson: The Tag Team
1/6/2000 Shawn Bradley left the game midway through the 3rd quarter
with an abdominal contusion after being kneed by Karl Malone, but
returned to action in the 4th quarter. The next day, the NBA fined
Don Nelson $10,000 and suspended him for 1 game for bumping the ref
and his confrontation with Karl Malone following his ejection in
Thursday's game vs Utah where he was complain about Malone kneeing
Shawn Bradley. Malone was also fined $10,000 for the confrontation
with Nelson and for throwing an elbow at Bradley earlier in the game.
* Joe Kleine: "He needed a little plastic surgery"
On April 27, 1999, yet another player had to be carried from the
court needing plastic surgery after a run in with Malone.
Fortunately, this time Malone only broke Joe Kleine's nose.
* Luc Longley
* Christian Laettner
* Flying Knees and "Kick Jumpers"
* NBA officials: unindicted co-conspirators — Malone isn't just vicious,
he gets away with it! Over the years, the NBA has consistently overlooked
Malone and his dirty play.

這個作者恨得牙癢癢，我建議他可以去找 Malone，因為他有扮演牙醫的經驗。
