KARL Malone is one of the greatest players ever to play basketball but when he retired he took his talents to the highway.
The 14-time NBA All-Star, 59, retired from the game and into the business world and started a truck driving company.

Malone spent 19 seasons in the NBA and playing for two teams.
The “Mail-man” was a star high school basketball player growing up in Louisiana but decided to stay close to home for college.
He attended Lousiana Tech and played three seasons — Malone starred and led the Bulldogs to its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 1984.
The Utah Jazz selected Malone in the 1985 NBA draft with the 13th pick — he was elected to the NBA All-rookie team that season.
Malone would have a prolific career in Utah, leading them to multiple finals appearances battling it out with NBA GOAT Michael Jordan.
However, Malone never won a title. His career was a huge success.
He was a 14-time All-star, two-time MVP, and selected to be on the NBA’s 75th Annaverisry team.
Malone is also third on the NBA’s all-time scoring list behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James.
He retired from the NBA in 2004 and drove right into becoming a business owner.
He has several companies under his Malone Properties business, which focuses on commercial development, restaurants, and timberland operations.
He also owns the oil, gas, and mineral rights, and in 2012, one of his associates expressed how much Malone enjoys the labor.
“He loves trucking,” said the associate.
“That’s his way to do something he loves. He’s in the truck by himself. It gives him time to think.”
Malone certainly doesn’t need to drive a truck. He has a net worth of $55million and made over $102million in his NBA career.
