I never defend my fandom.
It's my religion.
Thus, I win.
I've been saying it for a while... and you know it Victor
Duncan wasn't spoon fed his points for most of his career. He got his hands dirty and worked for his points. He was the anchor for the Spurs on both sides of the ball. Of course he aged faster then Malone did. Plus the fire is put out when your career is already defined by 4 rings and two MVPs.
Malone ate out of Stockton's ass for most of his career. Easy pickings when the offense doesn't revolve around you.
A new twist on Heart song "Alone." Change it to "Malone"
"Why do you choke, Karl Malone? Where are your rings, Karl Malone?"
How many championships does Malone have?
What era did Malone play in?
Almost half his career in the worst defensive era of all-time, the mid-80s to early-90s.
compe ion too hard
Malone watched Tim win 2 rings...
He played in an era where guards routinely shot over 50% and the pace was decidedly faster. Lol at short arm Kevin Willis constantly atop the rebounding leaderboards in those days.
Such a tough, defensive era. Handchecking and all that.
The era was only "tough" because the big market teams hoarded all the talent and rapid expansion hadn't yet happened to dilute the talent pool, so if a player wasn't on a team willing to spend, you had little chance at a le.
Duncan probably doesn't have a ring if was drafted by the Jazz, just like Kobe doesn't have any rings if he was drafted by the Hornets, but he'd still be better than Karl .463 Malone.
Stupid generalization. The average team may been worse than other eras but the elite teams were as tough as any in history. This was actually the period that reinforced team defense as the more important component of a championship team.
Sit this one out pulp, I know your got ass never picked a ball in your life. If you can't wrap your lips around it, it ain't going into your hands.
It wasn't a defensive oriented era.
League average FG% and PPG in 1988 was .480 and 108.2. In 2008, it was .457 and 99.9.
"It's an era that emphasized team defense!"
Now here's where you tell me the players being more fundamentally sound was responsible for the differences.
Pace of the game changed greatly in those 2 decades... because of the teams that transitioned to team defense as their strength; Pistons, Knicks, Bulls, Blazers, Rockets, etc.It wasn't a defensive oriented era.
League average FG% and PPG in 1988 was .480 and 108.2. In 2008, it was .457 and 99.9.
"It's an era that emphasized team defense!"
Now here's where you tell me the players being more fundamentally sound was responsible for the differences.
2001: FG% Avg: .443, PPG: 94.8
1991: FG% Avg: .474, PPG: 106.3
"But, but, but it was a tough defensive era!"
lol dumbass Laker fan
lol "defensive oriented era"
And several other much better players win more. Karl was an unlucky sap to come into the league only to have to go through a prime Bird, Magic, Jordan then Hakeem to win a ring.
1999 onward was an afterthought for the well past his prime Malone.
Duncan wins if he's drafted in the mid 80s
2001: FG% Avg: .443, PPG: 94.8
1991: FG% Avg: .474, PPG: 106.3
"But, but, but it was a tough defensive era!"
The successful teams did.
at generalizing the whole league's scoring average. Like you were watching, playing or had anything to do with basketball back then anyway.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda...
Tim was drafted when he was drafted and won 4 LOB... Malone watched him win 2... facts
"If Robert Horry wouldn't have won 7 rings, MJ would have more rings than Horry"
WTF is wrong with you gots on this site? The Detroit Pistons weren't a defensive powerhouse? The Chicago Bulls weren't defensive oriented team?
Those are the late 80s early 90s champs? Sure must have been easy to wallop those teams since everyone else in the league was scoring at a higher clip
Morons don't even know the game. Chimps look up stats.
^ you don't know . If you don't like the site, take a hike, got.
