Where does the Cowboys connection come from?
Karl Malone has not said he roots for the Dallas Cowboys. The tie comes from Sportskeeda, which carried the line "Finally got Karl to be a Cowboy fan." The words are not Malone's. They come from someone else, and the report carries no date, so it works as a background tie to the team and not as a fandom he has stated.
How does it line up with where he is from?
Malone was born on July 24, 1963, in Summerfield, Louisiana, and attended Summerfield High School before playing at Louisiana Tech from 1982 to 1985. The Cowboys won Super Bowl VI in 1972, the year he turned 9, and Super Bowl XII in 1978, the year he turned 15. His NBA career began when the Utah Jazz drafted him 13th overall in 1985, and he also played for the Los Angeles Lakers before finishing in 2004.
