Karl Malone might be suspended for the rest of the series by NBA commissioner- news!
Sports radio is reporting that Malone might get pulled from series by NBA officials.
If anybody watched before the start of game 3. They probably saw where Malone physically jabbed a detroit fan in the head with his finger, and the guy's head jerked back. I was pretty shocked he didnt get fined for that or they even let him play game 3. Trust me if that was someone else they would have ejected that player.
Now you all can say the Fan was taunting him.. but really all fans taunt players on opposing teams and I saw the video of the guy, he was not on the court, he was on the first row court side seats. And the guy did not spit in his face, Malone is lying. The guy yelled some stuff at Malone and Malone came running over to him like a bull on steriods and had to be held back by people and thats when he reached over and jabbed the guy in the head with his finger.
Now police are investigating the matter if Malone really poked him with his finger and his head jerked back because that is assault. I heard on sports radio that the Police are at Auburn Hills Arena questioning NBA officials and they are going to pull him for the rest of the games. He might even be arrested for assault charges.
so dont be shocked if you dont see Malone for tonights game.
And lets be honest you dont touch a fan... Karl fucked himself man!!

Police investigating fan's complaint he was poked by Malone

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Police are investigating a confrontation between Karl Malone and a fan who says the Lakers' forward poked him in the face before Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
In a dispute shown repeatedly on national television, the man was at the edge of the court during Los Angeles' layup drill before Thursday night's game, won by the Detroit Pistons 88-68.
Malone, a 19-year NBA veteran and the league's second-leading career scorer, said Friday that the fan had obviously been drinking and spit in his face while heckling him.
"He was really out of line," Malone said. "Just because you buy a ticket doesn't mean you should be able to get on the court and degrade somebody."
Malone shouted back and jabbed his right index finger at the man, whose head jerked backward. As to whether he made contact, Malone said, "Maybe I did, but he was in my playing field.
"He was on the court. Where was the security in the arena?" he said.
The unidentified man complained to the Auburn Hills police.

"At this time, the investigation is going on and we are not releasing any information about the case," police Lt. James Manning said.
Manning said police would release more information Monday.
"I'm not going to let a guy spit on me," Malone said. "I'm not going to take that. I've never had that happen before."
Malone also said fans have harassed the Lakers at their hotel in nearby Birmingham.
"They did it all night long until the cops came," Malone said.
