Victor Wembanyama doesn’t seem pleased with the NBA’s Karl Malone praise. 

The Spurs’ superstar indirectly threw shade at Malone on social media after a league account wished the Hall of Famer a happy 62nd birthday Thursday. 

“Join us in wishing a Happy 62nd Birthday to 14x #NBAAllStar, 2x NBA MVP, and 75th Anniversary Team member… ‘The Mailman,’ Karl Malone! #NBABDAY,” @NBAHistory wrote on X. 

Wembanyama seemingly weighed in by re-sharing a post from DJ J. Strand — X user @DJ_Ajaxx — who posted a video of a man saying, “What? Oh, see that’s what we not about to do. Police, lock his ass up because he need to be under the jail” in response to the league’s birthday message. 

The post from Strand seems to refer to when Malone impregnated a 13-year-old girl when he was 20 years old and attending Louisiana Tech.

For years, the former Jazz star denied his paternity status despite blood tests that confirmed 99.3 percent probability that he was the father, according to a 1998 Associated Press story.

Malone eventually formed a relationship with his now-41-year-old son, Demetress Bell, who played four seasons in the NFL.

It’s not clear if Wembanyama’s re-share meant he was wading into that conversation, however.

The NBA faced backlash during the 2023 All-Star weekend in Salt Lake City — where Malone played 18 seasons, winning two MVP awards — for welcoming him as part of the festivities. 

At that time, Malone didn’t want any part of discussing his personal history. 

“I’m not discussing any of that backlash,” Malone said, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. “I don’t care. That’s my life, that’s my personal life, and I’ll deal with that like I’ve had to deal with everything.

“So, whatever.”
