High school my boy used to say that Stockton to Malone shyt when they beat they beat the Kings one game or some shyt smh. I've up it and bet the Mavs couldn't beat the Kings til C Webb blew out his knee.

I wore an unofficial Peja jersey. Think it was like Adidas or some shyt and somebody yelled "fukk THE KINGS" during them playoff runs especially 01, 02 and 03. You couldn't tell me shyt. I knew the Kings was gonna win:russ: :mjcry::mjcry::mjcry:

And that's the problem. Dude was top 3 at his position for 18 years. If he had 2 rings you'd be saying he was that dude.

Bruh I'd never diss Karl Malone. Never. His bows were unlockable with. His longevity outside of individual awards. I know Karl Malone tough. Him and Barkley the same but not really Karl Malone had a top 10 point guard of all time. I still wouldn't fade his ELBOW everything. I'm not hatin AT ALL. Lakers win in 04 if that fat nikka dont fall of his knee. Ruined their season. They was like 18-5 before Malone got hurt. Tim Duncan the GOAT PF. Dirk don't register to me when talking about that position

Scott William and Michael Jordan kept him from a ring :whoo:

I remember it was like a game in December or some shyt and Scott Williams hefty ass fell on his knee:whoo:

It was never the same

He was 252 and Zion 285 that’s so crazy to me cuz Karl looked like such a monster
I'm sure 250 was his rookie weight that never was updated. No way Karl was 250.
Most have him after Cap Shaq Bill Wilt and Hakeem in some order. But he still doesn't get his props and he should legit have an argument over Dream (who i know was better) and maybe even Wilt with him having more rings and playing for like 20 years. I think both are better but Moses needs more props.
No he shouldn't
Criminally underrated. If Bird is top 10 so is Malone.
Nah. Who is your Top 10?

People focus on biceps too much when estimating weight, Malone had skinny legs.

We were talking about this when pointing out that Deontay Wilder is completely built on top yet only weighs 210-220 due to his little chicken legs.

10) Hakeem
9) KD
8) Malone
7) Duncan
6) Shaq
5) Wilt
4) Kobe
3) LeBron
2) Kareem
1) MJ
You putting KD over Hakeem but not Shaq//Malone is some crazy shyt to me. You really would rather have Malone than Hakeem under any circumstances?

The Bird/Magic slander is wild too but I'll admit I can fukk with it. :pachaha:

Malone and Stockton barely missed any games in their careers. I think Malone only missed 8 games from 1985-2003.

Stockton only missed significant time in one season but otherwise was playing all 82 games even in his final year.

People don’t talk about the durability enough.

His rookie card
1986-Fleer-68-Karl-Malone-Rookie-Card-Reverse-Side-With-Statistics-and-Personal-Information.jpeg


He definitely weighed more than that in the 90s. Same with Robinson being listed at 235 and Ewing at 240. Those were their rookie weights.

Larry Johnson was listed at 250 as a rookie but his later basketball cards had him at 263. Breh was a tank. Looked like a linebacker. Looked 260 because he was 260 unlike some other folks.

Karl Malone averaged 25 and 10 for his career and he played 19 seasons in the league. Statistically you could make the case he's top 5 except for the rings. Give Malone 2 rings like Hakeem and it wouldn't seem so crazy.

Give Malone 2 rings and a likeable personality/Nike campaign and he'd be in everyones top 5.
