How come Charles Barkley could never get on Karl Malone's level?

[Im Still Ballin]

Was it because he was too short? Karl always seemed to beat up on little Chuck

6-9 vs 6-4

It was a valiant effort by Chuck... But Karl was always the better baller

He wasnt big enough in the pants. Just didnt have enough beef to compete with "Big Karl."

Same reason you cant get to my level, OP.

[MJistheGOAT]

Chuck > Karl in peak
Karl > Chuck in longevity (work ethic)
Karl > Chuck in accolades (John Stockton)

MJ raped both.

Still trying to recover from the humiliation Chris? That shit burns deep. InsideHoops IS your real life now. 20 hours a day online, 4 hours sleep. You thought you could escape the disappointment of reality... Losing your minimum wage job... Your failed Hollywood acting career... You thought you could escape the pain and sorrow online. You were wrong Chris. Inferior genetics and all.

Chuck were the better player although Karl had the better career.

I Guess You Never Watched The NBA When Chuck Was Healthy 85-93.

I Don`t Get Where You Are Coming From. Barkley Outplayed Malone when they Matched Up When He Was Healthy: 85-95. From 96-00 Malone Was Better, While Barkley Declined To Injuries. Never Before.

Barkley has a Higher PER
Barkley has a Higher EFF
Barkley Has a Higher Win Share Per 48 Min
Barkley Has a Higher Shot Made/Missed Diferential.
Barkley has a Higher Plus/Minus (3rd all Time after MJ and Lebron)

Prime Barkley Would Have Averaged 30 and 60% Under Stockton and Sloan System.

Malone was a better scorer
Both great rebounders (though Chuck seemed to want it more)
Barkley was easily a better ball handler (Chuck could go coast to coast, Malone could not).
Malone had the better teams for most of their careers.

Depending on your team, you couldn't go wrong with either one.
