Karl Malone was a real baller in his heyday. The Utah Jazz legend never took a game for granted and fueled his maximum capacity when he walked out on the court. Off-the-court, Malone carried a light personality, one who jokes around, creating a humor circle around him. Back in 2018, Anthony Davis fell prey to one of the Mailman’s hilarious pranks.
As we all know, AD wasn’t a Laker until he signed with them in 2019. Thus, Davis who was with the Pelicans at that time, was called in for a promotional shoot, arranged by Red Bull. The big man arrived at the court, but little did he know that he was up against a nuisance in the form of a Hall of Famer.
As per the script, Karl Malone had to be dressed up as a maintenance worker and he was given a name as well! Just for the sake of the prank, Karl Malone turned into a janitor. He even got a fictional name of “Sam the maintenance man.”

As the crew further indulged in shooting, Malone acts as a strict maintenance worker and asks the crew to pack up and leave. This further aggravated Anthony Davis who summons his security and asks him to get rid of Sam the maintenance man.
By causing a few more hindrances, Malone decides its time and walks up to AD. The 14x All-Star acts like he barely recognizes him. “That’s Anthony Davis,” Malone says in a startled voice. “Could I get an autograph? Could you sign it for me? To Karl Malone,” the Jazz legend says, upon which AD realizes that he’s been tricked!
