Word. The Shaq-led Lakers were pretty damn good.

That's a kick ass video right there. He guards every position on the court, and shows how good he was at every aspect of defense. Full court pressure, beating his man to the spot, fronting, shooting the passing lanes, weak side shot blocking, taking charges...everything.

I remember this s**t.... they need more commercials like this nowadays, instead Charles Barkley just lays around in a recliner while Dwight Howard acts like a queer.

and the best PF in NBA history
Karl Malone accomplished absolutely nothing in his prime.
Only when Barkley, Hakeem were way past their primes, and the Kemp Sonics imploded did the Jazz make the Finals.
One of the most overrated players in NBA history.
this
all time leading scorers:
1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - 38,387
2. Karl Malone - 36,928
3. Michael Jordan - 32,292
4. Wilt Chamberlain - 31,419
5. Shaquille O'Neal - 28,255
34. Tim Duncan - 20,330
Malone is also 1st in NBA history in free throws attempted and made, as well as 1st in defensive rebounds.
i watched Malone play alot more than most other people. he was that good, and he was the best PF ever. people have the same bias against Malone that they do with Barry Bonds. you dont like Malone, you think hes an ass, and a crappy person, so you laugh off the notion that the NBA's 2nd all time leading scorer might be the best to play his position.
basketball is a team sport. Malone not winning any titles shouldnt detract from how hes remembered as a player. he was an MVP caliber force that could dominate the paint, and stick a fade jumper in your face on the perimeter.
That's a terrible argument. Karl Malone played for 19 seasons, which is why he's #2 all time on the list. It's a testament to his longevity. He was a slightly better scorer than Duncan, but Duncan was a better rebounder and a MUCH, MUCH better defender.
You say that he ran into the "Jordan buzzsaw", but the truth is...he only got out of the West twice in his 18 years in Utah, despite having arguably the 2nd best PG of all time feeding him the ball. That has nothing to do with the Bulls. By contrast, Duncan's lead his team to 4 titles despite having to face the Kobe/Shaq Lakers for years.
Duncan was the better player, and it isn't really all that close.
