Karl Malone

It takes people a while to trust you.

I have many friends and family members who have served (or are currently serving) in our nation's Armed Forces. I have such a profound respect for what they do day in and day out.

But I think anybody who believes I could force coach Sloan to resign is crazy. He's stronger than that and personally if I said that to him, he'd probably go tell me to go do something.

I spent a lot of time doing things other people wanted me to do, so I'm doing what I want to do now.

At some point in time I will be honored if I would be mentioned as a coach.

I just think we want to stay healthy, and I don't think we think about a sense of urgency. We realize how old we are, we realize we've been playing this game for a long time, but you know what? We're not done yet.

I think we're a deeper team, a better team, we still have work to do... nothing is guaranteed, but hopefully we got the mentality to play on the road, and we're starting to get our home thing back in order now-if we can do that we'll be just fine.

I just work out hard enough that, if I'm craving something, I eat it and know I'm going to burn it off the next day with extra intensity.
