I might be wrong.
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
[QUOTE=DirtBag]I know that they had shooters that were taking more game final shots at the end of the games than Malone another being Horancek... but if I were picking between the two (malone and garnett) having seen both them play I am more comfortable with Malone in the clutch than KG. KG for the better part of his career was good through 3 and gone in the 4th. I'd take Malone because I don't have the option of say a Bird or Jordan.. I'm not saying Malone is the end all be all but I'd say he's above Garnett. Each have their strengths as mentioned above by other posters but I'd take Malone because I'd trust him more..[/QUOTE]
Well all I'm saying they are both very weak in the clutch for superstar standards so putting alot weight on that is kind of useless IMO no offense.
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
Malone, by a average margin.
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
fair enough.. Malone may have not been clutch but he'd take the last shot, would he make it or would he throw up a brick perhaps even make a bone head play but Garnett would be out of the equation all together looking to pass more often then not in the 4th. Not saying in just the last 3-24 seconds of a game. If I'm picking I want the guy who is willing to take the ball.

I wouldnt want either player taking that shot so this line of thought in comparison to who is better seems irrelevant to me. If im trying to win a championship Id need a better finisher than either player.
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
Duncan > Barkley = Malone > Garnett
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
[QUOTE=DirtBag]I trust Malone to take the game winning shot, Malone trusts Malone to take the last shot.. Garnett looks to pass.. thats what I use to distinguish between these two. Malone but it's close[/QUOTE]
Are you kidding? Malone should have changed his name to Choky McChoke. Garnett was equally terrible in the clutch.
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
KG if i already have a stack team and Malone if i wanna build around. i guess
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
I would honestly rather have prime KG than prime Malone on my team.

Id rather build around a dominant defender than a guy who is famous for scoring until the clutch.
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
Anyone who doesn't say Malone pretty much means you never saw him play in his prime.

false
Malone was a great player, but I'd rather have KG's superior defense, ball handling, and length.

Malone was far superior to KG on offense, and was a great defender too. He would snap KG in half with one of his patented elbows.
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
[B]Malone
Do his stats from 1985-1998
Malone also outplayed Garnett even as an aged man[/B]
Re: Karl Malone vs Kevin Garnett
I'll take KG. Don't like Karl but he was a great player.
