lets be honest.. enough debating between Malone and Barkley. neither are 2nd best PF

[kennethgriffin]

both greatly underachived

malone was a product of stockton

barkley was a fat lazy no defense playing bad team mate

both had stacked rosters throughout their careers

both had plenty of chances to win. and both should have won

barkley had dr j and moses

barkley had kevin johnson and majerle

barkley had hakeem and drexler

malone had arguably the greatest pure PG of all time his entire career almost

malone even bandwaggoned with the lakers and messed that up



the fact of the matter is. Kevin Garnett is the 2nd best power forward ever

if i had to choose between those 3.. kg is an easy choice

he changes the culture of a franchise. he holds people accountable. he is the best defensive player in the league and as #1 option could give me 20ppg and 4-5 assists

hes a winner. and doesnt depend on a PG to score. nore is he lazy and overweight

more all nba teams, more all defensive teams, more titles, same mvp's

better player

wow you actually made a post that makes some sense

[SamuraiSWISH]

Duncan is a center, so KG is tied for best PF with CB34 and the Mailman

[BoutPractice]

CB34

For some reason I thought you were referring to Chrish Bosh for a second

KG has an argument for 2nd best PF, but I really don't think you can use scoring against Malone in a KG vs Malone comparison... Both Barkley and Malone are clearly better scorers than KG.

1 - Tim Duncan
2 - Kevin Garnett
3 - Dirk
4 - Malone
5 - Barkley

Kobe would have zero rings in MJ era.

[ispin69]

These kobe trolls acting wreckless. You can say the same about Kobe.

Kobe has ZERO rings as ALPHA.

He had the most dominant center in SHAQ.
He had great supporting cast in Derek Fisher, Robert Horry.
Was he able to out shine and outplay Shaq? No.
So what does he do? He gets him traded by threatening to leave.

When he didn't have any Hall of Famers on his team:
1st round bust or NOT EVEN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AT ALL.
Why didn't he make Kwame Brown, a first round pick better?

Then he gets gifted an allstar in Gasol.
You can EASILY debate that they both shared that ring.
NO ONE was alpha other than Kobe CHUCKING to get more stats padding.
It was equal they were TIED in winning those two.

Kobe always had a STACKED roster with a dominant BIG MAN
while Jordan won Luke Longley as his big man.

Kobe greatly UNDERachieved. He was lazy and the only reason he was first and last to the gym was because there was a female trainer/front office staff member he was trying to rape.

Who needs a good big man when you got Scottie 2 Hottie as your wingman.

[fpliii]

griff dropping knowledge up in here.

[ispin69]

Who needs a good big man when you got Scottie 2 Hottie as your wingman.

There's a reason BIG men score higher percentage shots, they're closer to the rim. Having Scottie has his second in command only made MJ even greater that he didn't rely on a BIG man. MJ and Pippen created high percentage shots from the post and driving as wingmen.

[SHAQisGOAT]

Imo, when you consider everything:

1. Timmy
2. Malone
3. KG
4. Barkley
5. Dirk
6. Pettit
7. Hayes (underrated af)
8. McHale

Now can I see it any other way? Yes I can. Always hard with these things, and as far as peaks as overall players I wouldn't have the same list.

He was great before Stockton was starting.

both had stacked rosters throughout their careers

Jazz weren't stacked outside the big two.

malone even bandwaggoned with the lakers and messed that up

No that would be Kobe that messed that up.

Duncan is more of a center in my mind regardless of what he's been called.

[The JKidd Kid]

1. KG
2. Malone
3. Barkley
4. McHale
5. Dirk

[CelticBaller]

> Malone was a product of Stockton

>AVG 21.7 pts 10.4 rbs with Stockton playing less than 25 mins per game in 87


Am I wrong here Utah fans?

[PJR]

This is one of the few post from the OP that I actually don't thoroughly disagree with. But I'd still go with Malone. Malone was a good defender, while also being a sensational scorer(unlike Barkley). Not to mention he was a fitness freak with insane durability.
