Karl Malone on Dan patrick Show about Tim

[SinBAD]

I was just watching the Dan Patrick show where he was talking to Karl Malone and he asked Karl "who is the best PF of all time you or Duncan?".Malone said Tim is not a PF, he has range but he isn't a pf he's a center.Then Dan Patrick asked him again and Karl said "if I had to chose of course it would be me no doubt i'm the best ever".
I thought that was funny.No doubt Malone was an excellent PF but no way better than timmy D.

Malone always choked in big games..

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Being the best means giving everything you have to the game. Duncan squandered too much of his time and energy on things like acknowledging the existence of his children to take the top spot. When the chips are down Tim Duncan couldn't statutory rape his way out of a paper bag.

[Ginobilly]

It's not Tim's fault that he could play two positions at all-star level. Whether you consider him a 4 or a 5, it doesn't matter. If you consider him a pf; then he is the best pf of all time. Center, probably be 3rd or 4th best center of all time. He's that good!

Sheesh...A bit harsh I think...:lol

[Bill_Brasky]

:lol ringless

[Budkin]

He's wrong.

[Sean Cagney]

LOL at him trying to put Tim at C because he knows he is not better and wants to be the BEST PF ever! If Tim was a center you might have a case Malone, but he is not.

[jimo2305]

even while being surrounded with HOFers.. stockton, bryant, oneal, sloan, jackson.. karl couldn't win 1 ring

tim has 4..

something's gotta give bro

[tesseractive]

LOL at him trying to put Tim at C because he knows he is not better and wants to be the BEST PF ever! If Tim was a center you might have a case Malone, but he is not.

The reality is, Tim's played about half his career at PF (when lining up next to Robinson, Rasho, Nazr, etc.), and half at C (when lining up next to Horry, Bonner, etc.). He can play both positions. But if you win multiple titles playing power forward, you can be counted as a power forward.

Also, now that Dirk has a ring, I'm not sure Malone even has a claim at second place. :lmao

[Horse]

Fuck him, imagine how much less he would've done if he wasn't allowed to karate chop in the post and travel.

[ambchang]

People should only ask Malone about knockign up 14 year olds, neglecting his children until theu are all grown up and successful, breaking other people' ribs on purpose, hunting little Mexican girls, and choking in big games, because he is the best of all time in those things.

Tim won 2 more titles playing center so I do not get your point.

[spurs1990]

Wonder if Spurs could have won it all in '96 and '98 if Malone hadn't gotten in the way.... would've killed for a Spurs-Bulls Final at least once in the 90's.

[angelbelow]

Tim won 2 more titles playing center so I do not get your point.

He was pretty clear - not sure what you missed. He even listed the specific player pairs.

[Poolboy5623]

I would've killed for spurs-anything in the 90s(b4 99 obviously) but the only team good enough had olajuwan in the way and that was the year they beat the magic in the finals...with that said I've always believed the spurs of 2003 would have beaten Jordan's bulls but no one around me ever agrees :(

[Rapper]

4>0

[Juggity]

Take Malone's words with a grain of salt, guys.

He also said he'd take Pippen over Jordan (http://www.csnchicago.com/basketball-chicago-bulls/bulls-talk/Malone-Id-choose-Pippen-over-Jordan?blockID=724112&feedID=661)

:lol

[dbreiden83080]

He played with a top 5 PG all time his whole career and only made the finals twice.... If anything Malone is overated..

[Spur|n|Austin]

He's entitled to his own opinion, and hopefully most dominant players in their positions think they are the best at it; but yes, he is wrong. With no rings to show for it and his constant no showings, Tim is the better player at the PF position.

[da_suns_fan]

Regardless what you think of Malone, many have said that Duncan isnt a forward and just pretends to be.

This includes Marc Stein, Bucher etc.

He plays with his back to the basket. He uses a baby hook A LOT. He's 6'11'. He doesnt like to shoot from outside.

Hes a center in all but name. No need to get all butt-hurt about it.

Besides, Larry Bird is the best forward of all time so who cares?

Many players who he played against and many others call him the best PF in the history of the game too, so more say that then them two you mention....

Its a label, shit Westbrook is labeled as a damn PG & most would agree he's really a 2 guard.

Shit listen to what Shaq (the man who's had more playoff battles with Tim then anybody) about Tim being a center:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEmiJVgUKs4

[SenorSpur]

It's wonderful that Karl Malone took some time off from "hunting little Mexican girls" to drop this opinion upon all of us.

[dbreiden83080]

I'll take Duncan over Bird right now. Bird's D was meh....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEmiJVgUKs4Okay............... He said that there, BUT MOST PUT Tim as the best PF ever, so Shaq says that there and you categorize him as a C NOW? He has played both and played them both well! He is still the best PF in the history of the game and you will not tell me otherwise. Malone was just a PF, the fact that Tim can play both PF and C and be named as both shows me how special he is, that only adds to his legacy that they categorize him as both IMO.

[Prime Time]

Saying Tim Duncan isn't a PF is like saying Magic isn't a PG because he played other positions. He's a natrual PF (untill he passed 30, than he became a little too slow). In 97-05 he played PF and those were easily the best years of his respected career. In those 8 years he averaged 22.4ppg, 12.1rpg, 2.5bpg on 50% shooting. Not to mention the fact he didn't have a play-making stud of a PG in Stockton.
Oh yeah, also in that time period he won :lobt::lobt::lobt:

[100%duncan]

Who cares what that ringless faggot says.

[Russo21]

Malone is just majorly butthurt that Duncan kicks his ass.

Tim 4 finals for 4 Championships and 3 finals MVP's
Malone 3 finals for 0 championships

Karl might have averaged more PPG but he did have John Stocking dishing the rock to him all his career.

lol malone

[Russo21]

I kinda hope we add a BIG man to play for us next season, a true 7 footer, so Tim can slide back to PF to finish his Legendary career at the PF slot where he started. That'd end future bullshit comments and conversations from butthurt people like Malone.

[Fireball]

Even if Tim is the greatest PF ever (I think so), he himself would never ever claim that ... just think about that for a second

What about the title they won in 2007 with Fabricio Oberto playing next to TD? Are people saying that he was the starting PF?

I honestly believe we will all be in for a major surprise on draft day. I'm not claiming to have a source or having psychic powers or anything, but I just believe that the front office will make that their priority this summer because they know they waited too long to find a compliment to TD, and it ended up costing them, and making him look older than he is.

[Gervin44Silas13]

Karl Malone choked in the Finals vs the Bulls..... both times
Missed FT's
and when Jordan stole the ball from him...

Nuff said

[racm]

Did Malone have a near-quadruple double in a Finals clincher? Did Duncan have a pass-first PG?

[Girasuck]

Malone is just saying what everyone outside of a Spurs fan feels. Duncan is a center.

[Juggity]

:cry Malone still has no championships so I'd better figure out how to prop him up in All-time PF conversation :cry

[elemento]

I love the double-standart

Malone gets props when the Lakers beat San Antonio in 2004. In this case Duncan is a PF because old Malone hold his own against TD, even though Duncan had a 21/12 series and Malone was 10/8.

When Duncan gets 27ppg/17rpg/5apg against prime Shaq in 2002 (Shaq was 21/12/3) it doesn't matter because Duncan isn't a C and Shaq played against D-Rob.

But when it comes to compare Duncan with other PFs, Duncan is a C. I assume that D-Rob, Rasho and Nazr were all PFs then. :lmao

It doesn't matter that young KG played as a SF and played as a Center in the end of his career.
It doesn't matter that Dirk is a perimeter player that has never played as a prototype PF, ever.
It doesn't matter that Chucky played the forward position his whole career with the size of a SG.
It doesn't matter that Bird he played as a PF once he slowed down. The label stuff is not applied to him. He is a SF.

The thing is: Duncan is better than Malone and Malone knows it. That's why he brings the label up everytime he talks about TD.

He should be happy to be considered the 2nd best PF of all time, considering the choke artist he was in the playoffs. If i had to choose a PF among the GOAT PF list, Malone would be the last one i would choose. I would take KG, Dirk and Chucky over him, especially if my team didn't have a HOF PG feeding my player.

Jordan was not in the Finals in 94, 95 and after 98 btw. This excuse got old. :lol

Duncan is too slow to guard Pfs now but he is still a good rim protector, he's been in long need of an athletic big. Like an Ibaka.

[BatManu20]

tim has 4..

He has Jordan to thank for that.

in no way is that harsh. You bang a 13 year old, then deadbeat dad your way through life, you get everything that comes at you.

he also said if he were to start a team with any player on the dream team it would be scottie pippen.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Tim is a PF. It's not Tim's fault the team has been to pathetic to bring in a complete roster and get at least one Center. He plays to compensate for a lack of having a Center.

He's always had the size to play center, he basically was a center playing PF because David was on the team. & please don't bring up those big stiffs the Spurs brought in like Nazr & Rasho, when it was finishing time who was the damn center? Nuff said!

[Agloco]

Malone is just saying what everyone outside of a Spurs fan feels. Duncan is a center.

If he had stopped there, it would have been fine.

He decided to be dumb though.

[ambchang]

Top PF of all time:

1) Duncan
2) Barkley
3) McHale
4) Dirk
5) Garnett
6) Elgin Baylor
7) Pettit
8) Statutory rapist
9) Elvin Hayes
10) Dolph Schayes

Besides, Larry Bird is the best forward of all time so who cares?

This is one retarded post. Most Power Forwards do play with their back to the basket. Only this new generation of players have become perimeter oriented 4's. He's a Center because he uses a baby hook shot? Worst logic ever. He's shot jump shots his entire career, thousands of them, hence why his PATENTED SHOT is a JUMP SHOT using the glass. He can play both positions and has throughout his career. He won 3 out of his 4 NBA Championships playing PF. He's a PF who can slide over to C with his versatility. And Larry Legend is a SF, always was playing with McHale at the 4 and Parrish at 5 so there's no comparison there. Most NBA experts and true NBA fans will say that Duncan is the greatest PF of all-time.

Garnett is ahead of Dirk. Can't be a prisoner of the moment. Garnett is a HOFer on both sides of the ball. He's a MUCH better rebounder & shot blocker than Dirk. Dirk is great offensively and a better shooter but didn't play a lick of D until the past couple years and is still not very good for a 7 footer. I'd put McHale ahead of Barkley too since he won 3 Championships. Also, Duncan's the only PF i've seen with better footwork than McHale imo.

Who was the PF on the 4th championship team? I'm not trying to be contrary or anything, but I really thought Oberto was our starting C and TD was the PF.
