Karl Malone - 'The Power in Power Forward'

[prodigyjazz]

Karl 'The Mailman' Malone highlights throughout his Hall of Fame Utah Jazz career. Several years of gathering footage and now I feel I made a mix worthy of the man:

Damn, didn't know the Mailman was posterising people left and right like that.

:applause:

But Karl is truly an under appreciated talent. His work ethic and longetivity were great.

[G-train]

Fantastic Mix.

There was a monster on D-Rob at about 3.30 I hadnt seen before.

[millwad]

Dirtiest player in league history, I'm glad Jordan and Hakeem never let him win anything in his prime and I'm glad that Detroit crushed his hopes in his last season..

Yikes, yeah. I was expecting it to be the famous one on Robinson where Malone then frantically pumps up the crowd. This one you speak of at the 3:30 mark may have been dirtier (in a good way).

Anyway, Prodigy, very well done and I agree, Memo is the man. I favorited this video so I could show it to my little brothers the next time I see them. They've been using 1998 Malone in NBA 2K12 over the past few weeks, where he's nastiest from mid-range with his face-up jumper. I think they'll be interested in seeing young Karl Malone thrashing through folks so they better understand what he was in his prime. This past weekend I was just running them through his career stats because they asked who was better: Tim Duncan or Karl Malone.

:applause: Good job man. Very entertaining mix.

What makes malone so great is that he was very skilled, yet played dirty and gritty at times.

whoa!!! He got knocked the F#&$ OUT! :roll:


Its like Malone aims for DRob, is there any bad blood between the two? At least on Malone's part?

Malone and Mutombo have to have the sharpest elbows known to man.... both have broken dudes faces

Here's Malone after elbowing a Bighorn in the face.

Notice he makes guys in fatigues look like they might as well be wearing tu-tus.

The sound it makes when he hits him is stomach-turning.

OMG!

After seeing that, its not that funny. wow, DRob just dropped like a log after getting hit with that elbow.... look how no one even goes up to Malone to say anything, no one wants to suffer the same fate

I've only seen two players step to Malone, Magic and Barkley.

Though with Barkley it was more of a "yeah we're boys but we're both fired up right now" thing.

j/k, I like Karl.

[dbugz]

Dude is underrated here.

His mid-range shot is money :bowdown:

[Big#50]

Malone was a fake tough guy. He bowed down to Dikembe and Martin.

[knickswin]

I always thought he played kind of soft given his strength and build.

What about Dennis Rodman?

And when did Magic stand up to Malone?

Never. Magic is a *****.

[senelcoolidge]

Great player. Glad I got to see him play. I don't get how he and some of the other greats get so much negativity from the 'tards on this site. Some guys here think Beasley is better than Dominique or Rasheed Wallace was better than K. Malone..it's sad.

[97 bulls]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W21gQVBP-h4
Lol that's standing up to him? All he did was grab malones ass and squeeze.

[eliteballer]

Rodman never stepped to him. Not that I remember anyway. Annoying him on the court and stepping to him are two different things.

Magic got pissed at him for something during a game and started yelling and getting in his face.

[Legends66NBA7]

I went on the assumption of this comment:

"nah dat was on sum "boy ill dump yo muh****in ass" type shit, not gay." by paulandj

Malone never did retaliate... so I guess it worked... Or he was shocked at the fact of how gay it was...

A lot of the phyical play between rodman and malone was initiated by rodman. He definately never ran from malone. And he definatly frustrated malone

[eliteballer]

Thats not the same Malone Magic incident I'm taking about.

Charles Barkley knows the best way to counter Malone though:

Oh true. Which one, then ?

Rodman hard foul to Malone & stockton (stockton's "hey! you stupid son of a bitch" reaction is priceless :oldlol: )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9-KAo_G2zM

But Malone wasn't fake tough guy..He was smart enough to stay in game unlike Mourning and other tough guys.

[gasolina]

Haven't watched the video but I'm guessing it didn't show how Malone got so many of his points - setting up deep and just going up for a layup.

That's why his game "seemed" soft. He doesn't really post up and dribble his way for a hookshot. He just gets deep position, gets a pass from Stockton, and uses his build to get his shot off.

[MasterDurant24]

Dirtiest player in league history, I'm glad Jordan and Hakeem never let him win anything in his prime and I'm glad that Detroit crushed his hopes in his last season..
This.

I would of hated to see the Jazz win a championship. Didn't like their style of play, didn't like Malone or Stockton.

Reminds me a bit when Charles did the same to Malone in the 1992 All Star Game i believe.

Funny Flop :oldlol: :applause:

Flawed post.
Malone was tough and strong. Mutombo was tough, but not overly strong. Kenyon Martin was/is neither.

[G-train]

*sips pepsi quietly*

Even if anyone hates on him for personal issues or 'failures' under pressure, he was undeniably a powerful power forward in his physical prime. And I pretty much consider his post 95 seasons out of his physical prime, but into his skillful prime.

God I miss Chuck. His retirement saddened me even more than Jordan's.

[Jasper]

I'll alway LOL when Malone hits the ISH threads... most of you never saw him play , and if you did it was his last few years , were some of the brutal play was frowned upon.

Malone was typical college player that knew to play in the war style defensive game of the 90's NBA he needed to work like he was in the NFL.

It was after Malone , that Jordan and others hit the weight room as hard as Karl.
Low post play was physical as all heII and even though Stockton and Malone never got a ring , they're one of the teams that ran into the Bulls.
If it wasn't for Jordan and Pip - Malone and Stockton would of probably had back to back championships.

Bottom line if you ask any franchise if they could have a proto type of Malone (they would all raise their hands)
