KD scores a lot but will be forgotten like Karl Malone

[Fawker]

It seems he is heading there. He is 7 years in and no leadership qualities.

[ImKobe]

Karl Malone is not forgotten...

and KD is the better player.

[miggyme1]

next u gone compare john stockton to russell westbrook?


CANT WAIT

[navy]

lol.

[Marchesk]

How is Karl Malone forgotten? Might want to use a better example like McAdoo or Dantley or the Iceman.

Your second statement proves your first statement false.

this. (Karl) Malone is an awful example

[IGOTGAME]

i see the comparison. both lack the ability to lead through adversity. and that may be the thing that defines both of their careers.

[G0ATbe]

Malone was never even the best player in the league, same can't be said with Durant.

Durant will retire top 2-3 all time. A player of his calibre is too good to not end up with at least 3 or 4 rings.

When? Because at this rate it ain't gonna happen in okc.

yea, Durant just doesn't have enough help :confusedshrug:

I'll get on Durant, but it's not exactly like he's been a playoff failure thus far. :confusedshrug:

When scott brooks gets fired.

Do you know how hard it is to pass Kareem, Wilt and Russell? They've been in the top 5 forever. Plus Lebron will be up there as well.

[IGOTGAME]

he hasn't been a good leader. When things get bad, its Westbrook motivating the team, making the big stops or leading the charge. His teams has been good enough to win titles if he is as good as people say he is.

Durant would have never been the best player in the league during Malone's prime, either. :confusedshrug:

How come he has twice as many MVPs as Kobe?

[G0ATbe]

Wasn't that hard for Godbe:confusedshrug: .

And? Kobe has 5 times as many rings as Malone:facepalm

Meh, he's lost to some pretty great teams though. Definitely had a few close calls in series he shouldnt have, but no losses.

[SugarHill]

dat math :applause:

And Kobe didn't have to face Mike. Also, as great as Stockton was, he's no

basic mathematical proficiency wasn't a prerequisite in Kobe 101

Karl Malone is not forgotten and KD is not better than Karl Malone.

[Lebron23]

Malone was the superior NBA player.

[JT123]

Karl and Durant are very similar. Both have had stacked teams nearly their entire careers, but can't do a thing with them. And don't give me that BS about Karl had to face the GOAT. Jordan took a 2 year break in his prime and the Jazz were favored to win it all after Jordan's second retirement. Malone just didn't have what it takes to be great.

[SHAQisGOAT]

Vast majority of players wish they could be as "forgotten" as Karl Malone then :rolleyes:

[r0drig0lac]

Malone scored a lot in the regular season ... his game didn't translate as well to the playoffs ...

I think Durant is a better half-court scorer than Malone, so I guess there may still be some hope.

This might actually top Fresh Kid/Real14/Willds09's ''1/3 > 2/5 :pimp:'' post.

[HylianNightmare]

I kinda agree. I hope Durant proves me wrong this year though

[OnFire]

Let me know when Kobe is pro wrestling like Shaq and Karl Malone.

[Hoopz2332]

truth

[LBJ4MVP23]

Karl Malone is one of the 50 best players ever and a top 5-7 PF of all time along Dirk, Barkley, KG, Duncan, and a couple of others.

The only people that will forget Malone are the ones heavily influenced by media and not actual basketball history. Media is rings above all else.

Damn...was spot on with this one

unlike with your trade scenarios and 'blink of a hat'

[Stringer Bell]

Karl Malone is forgotten?

That dirtbag is far from forgotten. Him not winning a title is actually part of the reason he is remembered, which is rather unfair when he was a terrific player and a member of the Dream Team.

You will frequently hear the media talk about players not wanting to be one of "those guys without a ring", and Barkley & Malone are often brought up.

Malone is also talked about a lot when people praise the deity Michael Jordan.

[Old Man River]

kg was headed there but then got a ring now he's in the legit hof (ring holders only)
