13. Karl Malone

Malone retired as the NBA’s second all-time leading scorer in 2004. Although Malone and his iconic pick and roll mate John Stockton were unable to bring a title to Utah, they did form one of the NBA’s all-time duos, with Malone taking home two NBA MVP Awards during their time together with the Jazz. Malone has also been a Republican donor, previously serving on the board of the NRA and contributing $10,000 to solely Republican candidates in 2006.
