DaviesMoore would like to congratulate Karl Malone on his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Ever since the early days of MMG, Karl has played a major part in the growth our little ad agency in Boise, Idaho. Through our work with Malone Outfitters, Malone Properties and North Village Plaza, we have come to know and respect Karl for more than his hall of fame basketball career; he is a savvy businessman, avid outdoorsman and philanthropist.

Karl’s foundation helps children and families in need, including countless scholarship programs. DaviesMoore has had the privilege to work with Karl to make his vision to develop an outdoor mall concept and community center in Ruston, Louisiana called North Village Plaza a reality. We designed and developed their website, create sales collateral, manage events, public relations, as well as other marketing facets of the retail project. 

A two-time NBA MVP and two-time Olympic gold medalist, The Mailman played 19 seasons in the NBA, 18 of which were with the Utah Jazz. He led the Jazz to the NBA Finals in 1996-97 and again in 1997-98. He returned to the Finals in 2003-4 with the Los Angeles Lakers. Karl is the NBA’s second-leading scorer with 36,928 points, and was named one of the “50 Greatest Players in NBA History.”

He is part of a Hall of Fame class that includes Scottie Pippen, LA Lakers owner Jerry Buss, high school coaching great Bob Hurley, Sr., WNBA star Cynthia Cooper and an Idaho Vandal; college and NBA rebounding great, Gus Johnson, who holds a special place in Corner Club lore, having touched a ceiling beam measuring 11′3″.

Thank you Karl for being such an inspiration and congratulations from everyone at DaviesMoore.
