Malone named Utahn of the Year

Jet, Jan 19, 1998

The Utah Jazz's star power forward Karl Malone was selected by The Salt Lake Tribune as its inaugural Utahn of the Year.

The paper's editor James Shelledy called Malone "the lead hero of those Boys of Spring."

Malone, who was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player last season, led his team to the finals against the champion Chicago Bulls.

Shelledy also said that Malone exhibits a "personal life, values, achievements and dedication to others (that) are a role model for youngsters everywhere."
