I'd agree if not for Malone being a judge at the most recent dunk contest. So I'm not saying this because "haha the NBA once had a pedo like 20 years ago", I'm saying it because they've shown that they are more than happy to still give him the spotlight rather than distancing themselves from him. He's not an active player that they had to make a difficult decision on. It literally would have cost them nothing to have someone else as a judge.
