Basketball came early to Michael Malone. Driving, on the other hand, did not.
As his father Brendan Malone began coaching in the NBA in the mid-1980s right around the time Michael was finishing high school, he still hadn’t gotten behind the wheel.
“I didn't get my license until I was 25 years old,” Michael revealed. “I grew up as one of six kids and being from New York, Queens, and Long Island, I didn't really need a car, and so I wasn't going to get a car.” And yes, that means that Malone used his passport as an ID up until that point.
