Former Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers forward Karl Malone is being accused in a lawsuit of offering a former business partner in eastern Idaho a $25,000 bribe to take the blame for an illegal elk hunting trip.
The suit filed by Sidney Ray Davis of Soda Springs against Malone's Salt Lake City-based property management firm also alleges that Malone's brother-in-law, Ken Kensey, "threatened physical violence" if Davis didn't make the investigation "go away."
Malone's lawyer, Randall Call of Salt Lake City, said the two-time NBA most valuable player "adamantly denies" any bribery or intimidation. He said the lawsuit is frivolous and targets Malone because of his wealth and fame.
