As they stood together as teammates for the first time, Karl Malone towering over the Jazz's latest acquisition on just the second night of training camp, the Mailman posed a question or two.

Malone would not reveal precisely what he asked Mark Jackson, but it probably went something like this:
     
"Why Utah? Are you here because you really want to be, and for all the right reasons?"
     
Based on what Malone had to say following their brief encounter, it seems apparent the longtime New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers point guard delivered all the right answers.
