What's crazy is that he missed 22 games in 19 seasons. That's nuts!

Horry was definitely dirty, I hate big shot Bob, how many picks this guy set with leaving his leg out? WAY too many..Youre just name dropping to name drop now. John Stockton was extremely dirty and was known for it.
Pippen as dirty?
Olajuwon?
Horry
Pippen was known for overplaying on his man defense, it's why Jordan is a better man defender, Pippen is a better team defender...
Olajuwon is best defender out the bunch, but there's a reason Robinson was looked as better player and defender prior to there 1995 match up
He gambled alot for steals and blocks especially when he was undersized
What I'm trying to say is what makes Stockton or Malone more dirty defenders than those 3 that you pointed out? Truly nothing, they all used tricks of the trade to further there careers...
A better question, would you call shooters that bait their defenders into leaning into them during their jumpshots(aka Kobe, Durant, current NBA players) dirty players?
These were similar same tactics , whether on offense or defense used by Stockton and Malone plus those 3 players you pointed out...

Stockton was intentionally elbowing and kneeing players. NBA players always mention Stockton as one of the league’s dirtiest players. Never heard that about Pip, MJ, Hakeem, or Horry.
THE DIRTIEST PLAYER?
Dennis Rodman and John Stockton would seem to be about asdifferent as two human beings--much less two basketballplayers--could be. But according to our panel

Malone, Stockton voted among NBA's dirtiest players
ATLANTA From a national perspective, it appears the Jazz's reputation is soiled.

I don’t have to answer your pivot. Argue with NBA players who always ranked him as one of the league’s dirtiest players instead of me. I’m going by THEIR experiencesCheap shot Rob are you serious

It was mostly in one season.
97-98 he missed 18 games and 89-90 he missed 4.
So he didn’t miss any game in the other 17 seasons.

Zeke torched Stockton after he got selected over him for the Olympics 1:10 mark Stockton did some dirty shyt to Rodman
Also, their offense was basic as hell - they ran the pick-and-roll 40 times a game and banked on the fact that 80s-90s defenders didn't have specific schemes or practice switching like that so they combat it.
But once you get into a playoff series, by Game 3 you start to get a rhythm for how to switch even if you don't have a particular scheme, and so their offensive efficiency would fall apart.

Favorable whistle
And favorable scorekeeping, probably scorekeepers gave him 2-3 fake assists a game

They made the finals twice.. I don't see how they would "fall apart" in the playoffs every year.
