<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Former NBA star Karl Malone has donated $85,000 to Louisiana Tech Bulldogs to upgrade the weight and workout area that he initiated with a contribution 10 years ago. "It's something I wanted to do to help Louisiana Tech University's athletic program," Malone said. "It's all about giving back. Current and future athletes at Tech can hopefully benefit from having a weight room where they can improve their strength and skills." Malone played for Tech before becoming the No. 1 draft pick of the Utah Jazz in 1985. Malone played for 19 years in the NBA, going to the All-Star game 14 times. He retired as the No. 2 scorer in league history. Malone's donation to Louisiana Tech will result in a major revamping of the weight room that is named for him.</div> Source
