Sadly, he was at a prime age for a coronary.
Rest in peace, Mr. Malone. One of pro basketball’s greats.

Tall folks often don’t live long lives, I guess for the same physiological reasons as larger dog breeds?

Got to see him play when he was in high school.
Petersburg (VA) High School and my high school (Hopewell VA) were arch-rivals in basketball back in the early 70’s. We beat them a couple of times, even with Moses on the court.

Jerome Kersey went this year too. Malone was one of my all time favorites. Tough year on bigs.
Prayers up for his family.

The “Mailman” is Karl Malone. I had to look it up.

Saw him play with the 76ers back in the day at the now gone Philly Spectrum. I had great times back in those days.
