"Really could use some new legends" - John Stockton racist conspiracy allegations explored as Karl Malone picture goes viral

John Stockton and Karl Malone are two of the greatest Utah Jazz players. They were present at the 2023 NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City, but some fans were unhappy with the league for inviting the two legends.Stockton, in particular, has made headlines in the last three years due to his controversial views. He refused to believe in the COVID-19 vaccine and defended a woman who participated in the 2021 Capitol attacks. The Hall of Fame point guard appeared in a video series called &quot;V-Revealed, COVID Edition&quot; in 2021, according to Yahoo! Sports. The controversial video was full of false claims about the COVID-19 vaccine. At one point, his alma mater Gonzaga University even suspended Stockton's season ticket for not following the mask mandate.Hot Whistle@drillyamamaUtah having to choose between Karl Malone and John Stockton to judge the Dunk Contest3749583Utah having to choose between Karl Malone and John Stockton to judge the Dunk Contest https://t.co/HDAKyJpaSJAccording to The Comeback, John Stockton was in hot water again last year for expressing his support for a woman named Janet Buhler, who took part in the January 6 Capitol attacks.Stockton even penned a letter defending Buhler, the wife of ex-Jazz chiropractor Craig Buhler.&quot;Janet Buhler is one of the kindest people I have ever known,&quot; Stockton wrote. &quot;She has spent a lifetime helping her family, including her husband, care for their patients.
