Karl Malone Hall of Fame


The NBA just recently announced the induction of Karl Malone into the NBA Hall of Fame. The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is located in Springfield Massachusetts. In his career, Karl Malone, scored 36,928 points and pulled down 14,968 rebounds during his impressive 19-year playing career. If it wasn’t for Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, Karl Malone would have won a few championships too. Also, if Kobe Bryant would have not played like a spoiled brat, Karl Malone could have won a championship with the Lakers too.

NBA News

Other NBA Hall of Fame inductees include Scottie Pippen who has recently been trying to make his way back into the NBA as a player. In addition to lame attempts by Pippen to join an NBA team, Pippen was recently caught trying to make a bet with Nick VanGundy that the Miami Heat would not even win 72 games this upcoming NBA season. As you can imagine, these types of negative haven’t won Pippen many points by current NBA players.

McGrady and Shaq Signings

Currently Tracy McGrady and Shaq O’Neal are sitting ducks waiting for a team to save them. Tracy McGrady previously made it known that he would like to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers; however the Lakers did not show any interest at all. Even if McGrady was willing to sign for a song and a dance, the Lakers are not willing to risk changing their chemistry.

On the other side, you have Shaq who says he has another 4-5 seasons in him, the only sad thing is that most NBA teams believe he should have retired last season. Other than selling tickets, can either McGrady or Shaq help a NBA team win?

NBA Betting Odds

Although many still believe that McGrady still has some talent left, and would be a great player off the bench, the same cannot be said for Shaq. The team that may want McGrady is the Orlando Magic. Currently the Orlando Magic are sitting at 11/1 betting odds to win the NBA finals after a great run made last year. Many believe that they are only missing a tiny link to make it to the next step, and I believe McGrady can be that link.
