Exposing Karl Malone

[Lebron23]

A top 5 PF and Pg of all time failed to win an NBA Championship in 18 years. Malone is top 20 in my book while Stockton is borderline top 30.

[Artillery]

Malone is the goat PF. Duncan is a Center which is the position he played most of his career.

Malone's season FG%: .516

Malone's playoff FG%: .463

At least Duncan upped his game come playoff time.

If you wanna give Malone an all-time designation, dirtiest player of all-time is more fitting.

If we can expose Malone with one game then we can also un-expose him with one game.

Game 5 of the '98 NBA finals. 39 points en route to a Utah win, sending the series back to Utah.

In fact, that whole series: 25.0ppg, 10.5rpg, 3.8apg, 1.0spg, 1.2 bpg, while shooting 50.4% from the field and 79% from the FT line.

Too little too late. He put them in too big of a hole with his shitty play. Than to top it off he couldn't take responsibility for it and put the blame on Tag and Sloan and the whole city got behind him on that one.

Very nice thread. I normally think of Malone as a poor mans Amare. Good job

[Dictator]

One game and you exposed him? Great job man.

Wilt shooting a combined 35.7 FT% (61-171) in the '69, '70, '73 NBA Finals (losing all 3 series) is choking

Too bad he never said Malone was better than Duncan. All he said was that Duncan was a Center so Malone is the GOAT PF because of that. I suggest you work on your reading comprehension.

He also barbequed Shaq and the Lakers in the WCF of that post-season. The only series he struggled in that post-season was against the Spurs with Duncan and Robinson in the paint and guarding him.

Karl Malone was a great player. Most here in ISH never saw him play but will post bs like "hes a poor mans Amare". Amare isnt $hit compared to Malone. Rather than get into a pissing match, take a look at what you kids missed.....

No he just joined 4 other HOFers in LA.

[DKLaker]

Really, you could expose him for all those Finals games, but one or two really.

And it's not the only time he got exposed in the playoffs either.

Karl Malone = Most Overrated Player of all-time.

Nah.....that's Tim Duncan.

I mean in your prime..

[Xiao Yao You]

He was still one of the best at his position when he joined. He put up over 20 a game with the Jazz the season before.
