NBA Legends Karl Malone and Josh Giddey Face Allegations of Inappropriate Relationships with Minors
Karl Malone, the Utah Jazz big man, has been accused of impregnating a girl. According to various reports, the girl was only 13 years old, while Malone was 20 years old at the time of making her pregnant. It was a large allegation against Karl since he is one of the leading stars in the NBA league.
The Jazz big man was trolled and mocked for his actions. Even though he is one of the big superstars, the pedophile actions took over his legacy.

When Malone was announced as the judge of the NBA All-Star Game’s dunk contest, he was trolled and faced a lot of criticism and backlash. He was even called a “pedophile” on social media. Later, in an interview, he gave clarification, justifying his past actions.
Malone said:
“As players, we hear what’s written about us or said about us.”
“I’m not discussing any of that backlash. I don’t care. That’s my life, that’s my personal life, and I’ll deal with that like I’ve had to deal with everything. So, whatever.”
