How soon we forget. While he was with the Spurs (thankfully for a short time) I saw Dennis Rodman do some things deliberately--such as submarining under a player who went up for a jump shot--that could have been career ending to other players.
Those moves were dirty, not hard defense.
Yeah, Rodman did when he was a Spur that just made me embarassed that he was on the team.
I couldnt help but laugh everytime Rodman was involved in a confrontation. It happened so often it was expected of him. Malone on the other hand was just plain dirty, absolutely cannot stand him.
When he moved on to the Bulls he moved up under DRob when he was coming down and bumped him hard, knowing that the man had a bad back.
And where does Stockton fall in all of this? He used that choirboy in the short shorts act to get away with murder on the PnR and backside pics.
Someone's going to need to refresh my memory on what Stockton would have done that even comes close to the things that Malone did. Fighting through a screen or pushing off for position is not the same as throwing a forearm or an elbow or kicking a guy on the way up.
I am not saying that Karl was not a dirty player. Quite frankly, I am still amazed that he was able to shoot the ball with any type of accuracy, considering he seemed more worried about who he was going to impale with a knee or elbow than he was with his shooting form.
As far as Stockton goes, no, he would not get the dirtiest player ever award, but if it were a team vote, then he and Malone are Dirty Teammates HoF material. Stockton was never afraid to give a big man the elbow or a fist when coming through the lane or fighting through a pick.
Chuck Norris is sooooooo jealous of that pic.
Ira is the dirtiest player alive.
Chuck Norris does not experience jealousy. Chuck Norris created jealousy so that others could desire to be like him. Once Chuck Norris thought he experienced jealousy, but realized he was looking in a mirror.
I agree 100%...Bruce is one dirty player.
But he is on our team, so it is ok with me.
Norris jokes simply don't get old.....
If it were a team vote, then ANYBODY EVER ON THE JAZZ and Malone are Dirty Teammates HoF material.
There's no question Bruce Blowen is dirty. If I was still in the NBA, I'll beat his ass!
Jeff Van Gundy gets his ass beat way to much. And Bird, Shaq, and Reggie Miller were all really dirty. I watched like 4 of those fight videos, and the three of them and V.G. are in pretty much all of them. Best fight ever, Heat vs Knicks when PJ Brown flips Chris Childs
They write themselves...
I'll take the DIRK for 100 Alex !!!!!!!
Malone by far was the dirtiest player ever.
I can't find no way how a player can be called dirty when half the he does he doesn't get called for it, god damn learn and use the same tactics. Basketball is a contact sport, learn to ing grab, hold, push they're not gonna call it half the ing time if they did the games would be longer than 15 innings of Major League Baseball.
Malone was, by far, the dirtiest player who ever played the game, and that is including the Jeff Ruland, Rick Mahorn and Bill Laimbeers of the world. Malone gave Isiah Thomas a few s ches in a game for no apparent reason (you can blame Thomas sucking at GMing on that one ... perhaps), breaking Donyell Marshall's ribs while going for a layup (no, MALONE going for a layup, not Marshall), on top concussion he gave DRob.
What ever happened to, "bring that in here and you'll end up on your back!" So the league has one guy willing to play defense. Maybe, Fillmoe would like us to sprinkle roses on the path to the basket for the NBA don't touch this playas.
