According to ESPN:
“Malone reportedly impregnated Bell’s mother when she was 13 and he was a sophomore at Louisiana Tech.
While Malone had a successful NBA career earning over $100 million, he initially faced a legal battle when Bell’s grandparents sued him for paternity in 1986 during his second year with the Jazz.
