So where would Malone rate on an all time list?
Would not put him in the top ten all time.
Might put him him in the top 20 all time.
Maybe 19 or 20.
He could certainly be in the top 30.
And please, Stockton should not be above him.
Stockton was great but not better than Malone.
According to Real GM. I think they had Malone at 14. Obviously not a scientific poll just what other fans think of his skills.
It's really pretty hard to overrate the 2nd leading scorer in NBA history. In what way does Bobby Boy think Karl is overrated and by what basis does he then say "most overrated NBA player of all time?" Or is this another case of where "hyperbole" becomes another name for trolling?
Dude looks like a cross between Bill Clinton with a hangover and Andy Rooney.Originally Posted by CitizenofCapua
I searched his name on google and unsurprisingly found this;
May 21- Draft Lottery; June 27- NBA Draft; July 11- FA signing period begins; Oct 11- Preseaon game in Boise
Can you post the RealGM list?
Or is it not allowed?
Can you post the link if not.
Curious to see the list.
Is it top 50 or what? Does it include active players?
Karl at #14 seems reasonable though.

Must spread some rep. I'll catch you.
As a side note. The other 97% of you take notice.
"Back off Warchild, seriously.."
Stockton and Malone were the two best players in NBA history, followed closely behind by Gordon Hayward.
Not to bash RealGm too much, but I have questions about that list. Dr J ahead of the Mailman? Kevin Garnett right after him, at 15, ahead of Oscar Robertson? Wade at 22, ahead of Pippen, Ewing, Havlicek, Isiah Thomas? Mcgrady at 37?
McGrady anywhere associated with the story, outside of penning it. Was Eric Leckner 37th?
"Back off Warchild, seriously.."
Certifiably insane.
Playing well is priority #1 and nothing outside of that is really even close. If you're hoping someone else ****s up, then you don't deserve the break.
I say that as a fan of basketball, not as a Jazz homer (which you guys should know by now that honesty with the situation is more important to me than rah-rah).

You won't be back. I already know. I had to rep UGLI too after I smoked a cigarillo.

I, HeavenHarris, hereby pledge to my fellow JFC'rs that I will no longer give out neg-reps. All it does is cause negative things, like fights, drama, bitching, ill will, bad feelings, etc.
Love, not hate, is the answer bros and moes.
LOL Lol breaks his pledge 5 days later hahahaha
Malone is probably has the most storied career of any player not to win a championship.
You don't get to be 2nd all time in points without having talent. Malone was talented. The Jazz teams just peaked at the wrong times (I believe they should have won a championship somewhere between 88 and 95.) If the Jazz had one more younger star in 98 - 00 they probably would have won one of those.
Not to mention that Malone/Stockton rode out not only playing in a small market for many years, but consistently making the playoffs and making the conference championships.
I do think Malone/Stockton just were not good enough in the post season to carry the team over the top. They were a few bounces away from another shot at a title a few times. Malone hits a few free throws in Chicago, that could have turned a series. It was incredible how close those two teams were. That 98 series was probably the best NBA Finals ever. Certainly ranks up there with any Celtics-Lakers series.
Malone didn't play as well in the post season. Neither did Stockton. Both of whom should have dominated their respective positions. Stockton just wasn't athletic enough for Payton and Malone missed shots down the stretches of key games in the playoffs. Both are facts.
That being said, Malone doesn't go down with an injury and the Lakers win the title that year.
