Talking about underrated here we have Mr. Perfect.
I rate
Oscar
Dr. J
Isaiah
Hakeem
Wade
maybe Dirk and KG
all above Malone.
I'll hear arguments for Barkley, Robinson, Drexler, Pippen, Ewing, but I still rate him higher.
He's about top 20, not underrated imo

The man averaged 25 and 11 for 19 seasons. He made the playoffs every year he was in the league. He was the best player on his team for 18 of those 19 seasons. He's the Rodney Dangerfield of the NBA. No respect.

Karl Malone is perfectly rated.
He gets ignored too much for not winning a championship, but got WAY too much credit for Stockton spoon-feeding him like half his points.
He's a HOF player who doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as any of the GOATs.

Also, until that last year with LAL... he missed like 6 games in his career. He never got injured.
That's why I say LeBron is a PG in Karl Malone's body.

If Stockton made Malone why didn't he make another one? Stockton wouldn't be able to turn Favors into Malone. You're giving him too much credit.
Do you miss the part where I said that Malone was a HOF player?
Stockton was able to take a HOF player and help him get borderline GOAT numbers. He didn't do it with anyone else because he didn't have any other HOF players to work with.
I said that Malone was properly rated. He absolutely deserves to be HOF, he absolutely is not anywhere near the top-10 conversation.

He's top 2 at his position. #1 if you consider Duncan a 5. His longevity alone should put him in the top 10.Do you miss the part where I said that Malone was a HOF player?

The only TRUE power forward that can be debated vs. Malone is Barkley. Timmy is a center, but since they place him at PF, Karl is second. If Karl was in a bigger market, then his legacy on court would be appreciated and acknowledged more. Also, Stockton didn't spoon feed shyt, he gave Karl GREAT passes, very true, however, if y'all watched enough Jazz games you'd know that Karl had the best jumper of any front court player back then (can't spoon feed a jumper), he was MURDER in the paint with the ball, and the best pick and roll player probably in the history of the game. To say he was spoon fed is an exaggeration. Stockton assisted on most of Karls baskets because....DUH..he was the MAIN and at times the ONLY ball handler that ran the offense. With that said, Karl is under appreciated and underrated just like Barkley is. Put them two Bama niqqas in today's style of NBA, shyt would be illegal.
No one ran the floor like him either. Spoon fed? Nah, he worked for them Points brehs.

And saying Lebron is the size of Malone is an insult.

Sorry y'all but that my GOAT PF
Y'all gonna have to out some respek on his name

Yeah, he has a strong argument for #2 all-time power forward. However, there's been a lot more great centers than great power forwards, so being #2 in the PF slot doesn't get you into the top-10 overall.
I don't think Kareem, Jordan, Magic, Lebron, Russell, Hakeem, Duncan, Bird, Shaq, or Wilt should have any reason to fear Karl Malone taking one of their top-10 slots.
Stockton was around as long as Malone was, and I don't have him touching the top-10 either. I don't like the idea of longevity trumping dominance - my top-10 list is a list of guys who were the best, not the guys who were really good for a really long time. If Malone really was one of the GOATs independently of anyone else, and he had a top-5 all-time PG and a HOF coach matching him step-for-step his entire prime, then he should have had more success than he did. I mean...his playoff history is basically, "whipping boy for whoever in the West is actually sorta good this year". From his rookie season on, he went out early a LOT...he's like the anti-Lebron in the 1st round too.
Mavs, 1st round, 3 games to 1. (after making WCSF previous two years)
Warriors, 1st round, 3 games to 2.
Lakers, WCSF, 4 games to 3
Warriors, 1st round, sweep
Suns, 1st round, 3 games to 2
Blazers, WCSF, 4 games to 1
Blazers, WCF, 4 games to 2
Sonics, 1st round, 3 games to 2
Rockets, WCF, 4 games to 1
