Is Karl Malone underrated?

[Consumed]

Not really. He's rated properly on the strength of his longevity and remarkable consistency.

Reason he's not talked about top 10/15 is because he's not better than anyone there and he really struggled to translate his regular season efficiency to the postseason. Not because he's a choker, but because he wasn't a highly skilled 1on1 player especially compared to his peers. Its a reason I think Dirk is better than him all time.

Karl Malones off the court actions degrade his on the court accomplishments. I would build a team around him tho

he and Stockton do not get their due for on the court accomplishments

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Yeah he is.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Yes, he's underrated.

But let's talk about something else..two MVPs? How many of those were really MJ's and Shaq's?

Is Karl Malone overrated at the same time as being underrated?

97 should have gone to Jordan. 99 was kinda anyone who showed up in shape had a legit argument

 

[Sauce Dab]

He's easily top 15

Played with a top 8 all-time PG and couldn't win a Championship.If you paired Stockton with Ewing for 15 years the knicks would have won at least one title.

Stockton wasn't a scorer tho. Name a star that won a championship without another scorer on the roster with him.

Hakeem in 1994 and Duncan in 2003 I think are it really since the merger

Among all PFs Ive seen play in their prime...Gotta be top 5 or near it. He was never one of my favorite players to watch but you cant deny the mans game no matter how boring to watch he could be at times.

I still argue that Tim Duncan is a Center in my book so among PF's I've seen in their primes I'd say my list would be (no particular order) Barkley, Webber, Kemp, Garnett, Norwitski, Wallace (Rasheed), and Malone.
Are we counting Jermaine Oneal as a C or PF?

Anyway, only ones in that list i dont feel comfortable taking over Malone is probably Garnett. I like Garnett's game better but i'd pick Malone over him.

Jury is still out on Aldridge, Bosh, Griffin and the others

This dude said he'd take Shawn Kemp and 'Sheed over Malone.
