On May 30, 2007, Malone was named director of basketball promotions and assistant strength and
conditioning coach at his alma mater, Louisiana Tech University.
Malone spent his first 18 seasons (1985–2003) as the star player for the Utah Jazz, forming a
formidable duo with his teammate John Stockton. He played one season (2003–04) for the Los Angeles Lakers before retiring.
Malone's jersey was retired on March 23, 2006, when the Jazz hosted the Washington Wizards. He was also honored with the unveiling of a bronze statue outside the EnergySolutions Arena next to teammate John Stockton, and the renaming of a portion of 100 South in Salt Lake City in his honor. The location where the statues stand is now the intersection of Stockton and Malone.
