I do agree that Barkley does have one of the best peaks ever, but Malone had 8 years where he had similar production to Barkley's peak. Barkley only had one year like his peak year. Barkley's third best year is similar in production to Malone's 19 year career average production in points and rebounds. Plus Malone played better defense.
Malone has 12 years of being right there at 25 and 10. Barkley has five years. While efficiency was never a big thing for power forwards - always was below defense and being aggressive, it gets cancelled out here because Malone was the leading scorer on a team that usually won more than Barkley: If Barkley had pushed the issue more with those losing teams they might have won more.
A great comment.

This GIF dude must be like some smelly foreigner or something who only watches basketball through archival video and gets his stats from BBall reference searches.
Everyone knows Barkley was better than Malone, everyone.
