Remembering Jeff Malone’s Basketball Career, a Mississippi State Bulldog Great
After a very distinguished career at Mississippi State, Jeff Malone went on to have a 13-year NBA career with four different teams: the Washington Bullets, Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat. Known to be deadly from mid-range, Malone was running around the court and off screens before Reggie Miller spawned it into an art form, and much before Richard Hamilton made a living at it. He also had a knack for off-balanced shots, making him even tougher to defend.
Back in March, Gregg Ellis of the NE Mississippi Daily Journal (and his Inside Mississippi State Sports blog) briefly caught up with Malone who is now living in Chandler, Arizona (a suburb of Phoenix) and owning his own fuel distribution company. Here’s to remembering the accolades and basketball career of Jeff Malone.
