“He wanted me gone,” writes Gordon Monson. NBAAllStar
That’s why he showed up for a scheduled media availability at a downtown hotel on Friday. After conducting a couple of interviews with reporters stationed at varying tables, Malone informed a media rep that he would only talk with Salt Lake Tribune reporters, and others at the same station, if the columnist waiting with them exited the area. He wanted me gone.
Ultimately that doesn’t matter. For him, it was just another attempt at side-stepping accountability, holding onto anger, dodging anticipated tough questions.. He and the NBA want to distract you from those tough questions and tougher answers. Let the spectacle and status quo wash over you. Remove you, too, from the discourse.
Malone initially denied paternity and later agreed to a settlement that reportedly did not require him to admit he was the child’s father. He stuck his head in the sand when he should have risen up to handle his responsibilities. Eventually, begrudgingly, some reconciliation came and Malone acknowledged the child, Demetress Bell, and Malone now has a relationship with the 38-year-old Bell, a retired NFL lineman.
But Malone himself hasn’t said anything of substance. He continues to seek your respect and adoration, but until he acknowledges his misdeeds, explains his subsequent actions, can you believe he is changed? What are we to make of him? Representative of his moderate personal discrepancies is this: Malone has been a hulking piece of humanity that few NBA players, no matter their dimensions, wanted to mess with. He elbowed David Robinson in the forehead, dropped him like a rock, and nobody messed with him. He almost split Isaiah Thomas’ face in half during a game once.
