Question:  What basketball legend mentioned in The last season: A team in search of its soul is tied with Karl Malone for the most first team All-NB elections in history.

<P0-S0> The NBA All-Rookie Team is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) honor given since the 1962–63 NBA season to the top rookies during the regular season. <P0-S1>  Voting is conducted by the NBA head coaches; who are not allowed to vote for players on their own team. <P0-S2>  The All-Rookie Team is generally composed of two five-man lineups, a first team and a second team. <P0-S3>  The players each receive two points for each first team vote and one point for each second team vote. <P0-S4>  The top five players with the highest point total make the first team, with the next five making the second team. <P0-S5>  In the case of a tie at the fifth position of either team, the roster is expanded. <P0-S6>  If the first team consists of six players due to a tie, the second team will still consist of five players with the potential for more expansion in the event of additional ties. <P0-S7>  Ties have occurred several times, most recently in 2012, when Kawhi Leonard, Iman Shumpert, and Brandon Knight tied in votes received. <P0-S8>  No respect is given to positions. <P0-S9>  For example, the first team had four forwards, and one guard in 2008, while the first team had four centers (two of which were forward-centers) and one guard in 2016. <SEP> <P1-S0> Karl Anthony Malone (born July 24, 1963) is an American retired professional basketball player. <P1-S1>  Nicknamed "The Mailman", Malone played the power forward position and spent his first 18 seasons (1985–2003) in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Utah Jazz and formed a formidable duo with his teammate John Stockton. <P1-S2>  Malone also played one season for the Los Angeles Lakers. <P1-S3>  Malone was a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, a 14-time NBA All-Star, and an 11-time member of the All-NBA first team. <P1-S4>  He scored the second most career points in NBA history (36,928) (second behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), and holds the records for most free throws attempted and made, in addition to co-holding the record for the most first team All-NBA elections in history (tied with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James). <P1-S5>  He is considered one of the best power forwards in NBA history. <SEP> <P2-S0> The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul is a book by the former American basketball coach Phil Jackson, originally published by the Penguin Press in 2004. <P2-S1>  The book deals with the ups and downs of the Los Angeles Lakers' 2003-04 season and offers Jackson's insight into the team's season that ended in a breakup but not a championship, despite boasting four potential future Hall of Famers: Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone and Gary Payton. <SEP> <P3-S0> The 1998–99 NBA season was the Jazz's 25th season in the National Basketball Association, and 20th season in Salt Lake City, Utah. <P3-S1>  Having lost back-to-back NBA Finals to the Chicago Bulls for the past two seasons, the Jazz were hoping a third time would be a charm as the Bulls' dynasty ended. <P3-S2>  During the offseason, the team re-signed free agent Thurl Bailey, who came out of his retirement. <P3-S3>  The start of the Jazz season was delayed by a four-month lockout. <P3-S4>  When the season finally started, the Jazz got off to a 19–4 start, and then posted an 11-game winning streak in April. <P3-S5>  However, they struggled a bit down the stretch as they lost their grip on first place. <P3-S6>  They finished with a league best record of 37–13. <P3-S7>  However, their record was tied by the San Antonio Spurs, who won the Midwest Division by a tie-breaker. <P3-S8>  Karl Malone was named Most Valuable Player of the Year for the second time.
