Sorry for a non-technical post, but I just wanted to get this off my chest.

Being from Salt Lake City, Utah, this may sound like I'm turning on my own family, but believe me I'm not.  Pretty much all of the people I know didn't want the Los Angeles Lakers to win the NBA Championship.  It's not because we're anti-Lakers.  In fact, were it anything else, I wouldn't have minded at all if the Lakers had won - I've always been a fan.  Everyone is anti-Malone (Karl Malone).

Aside from being a constant whiner and complainer, Malone is a lousy human being.  I know - I've met him so my bias isn't all based on second-hand sources.  I think it's hilarious that he left the Utah Jazz for the Lakers (even accepting a cut in pay - amazing!) as a perceived guarantee to winning the championship.  That's pretty selfish if you ask me, especially for man who admittedly has no ego...at least I think that's what he said; it was hard to understand him due to his inability to speak intelligently.  Additionally, after being one of the key reasons that the Jazz didn't win the Championship when they had the chance, he was pretty much a non-factor to the Lakers and didn't help the team at all through the Championship series.

I am so glad he didn't get his championship.  Evil, I know.
