Karl Malone

I think it was David Robinson.

It also happened, of course, when Karl Malone won the MVP and Michael Jordan destroyed him in the finals.

Like, that's what I could see happening for Aryna Sabalenka where it's like, "Oh yeah, that's cute.

You're gonna be the world number one, but I'm the best." And again, since the 2022 US Open, 88 and 11 in the 16 majors that she's played.

No matter who wins this match, Rybakina will be number one, uh, next week.

So you can argue there's a bit of a chip on her sh- on her shoulder, kind of similar to, like, Michael Jordan beating Karl Malone in the finals after Malone won the MVP.

But the argument is they're crazy athletes, maybe an extra piece of motivation might help along the way.

But for the matchup in itself, I think it's gonna be a pretty simple over, uh, for me.

Eleanor, calm down.

Carl Malone is in the car before the charges.

[laughs]

[laughs]

However, Sabalenka had a lead in that one and kind of let it go.

So the question is if Sabalenka is going to choke or not in a Grand Slam final as a minus 150 favorite, give or take, or will she finally win her first Grand Slam of the year and silence a couple? of the doubters also a bit of a chip on her shoulder after she lost the number one ranking to rabakina no matter who wins this match rabakina will be number one next week so you can argue there's a bit of a chip on her on her shoulder kind of similar to like michael jordan beating carl malone in the finals after malone won the mvp but the argument is they're crazy athletes maybe an extra piece of motivation might help along the way But for the matchup in itself, I think it's going to be a pretty simple over for me.

I see a very close match.

I think we end up getting three sets in this one personally.

Mr. T was in there.

They ended up hiring Carl Malone, who was a big star for the Utah Jazz at the time, and then Terry Bradshaw.

Those are the guys they ended up hiring.

But the other people interviewed were Mr. T and this actor, Eric Estrada.

And even that didn't work.

Remember the Lakers did it when they brought in Carl Malone in that period? Right.

When they brought all these superstars and they were like, ready to do it? And they...

But they did do it in Miami when LeBron went to Miami.

And even that didn't work.

I mean, the Lakers did it when they brought in Karl Malone in that period when they brought all these superstars and they were like ready to do

it.

But they did do it in Miami, you know, when LeBron went to Miami.

Yeah, the Jazz have done it mainly through the NBA draft.

That's how they got John Stockton and Carl Malone.

They did make a big move when they brought in Jeff Hornacek.

He was that missing piece of that almost championship caliber team.
