Was it because he was too short? Karl always seemed to beat up on little Chuck

6-9 vs 6-4

It was a valiant effort by Chuck... But Karl was always the better baller

He wasnt big enough in the pants. Just didnt have enough beef to compete with "Big Karl."

Same reason you cant get to my level, OP.

Chuck > Karl in peak
Karl > Chuck in longevity (work ethic)
Karl > Chuck in accolades (John Stockton)

MJ raped both.

Still trying to recover from the humiliation Chris? That shit burns deep. InsideHoops IS your real life now. 20 hours a day online, 4 hours sleep. You thought you could escape the disappointment of reality... Losing your minimum wage job... Your failed Hollywood acting career... You thought you could escape the pain and sorrow online. You were wrong Chris. Inferior genetics and all.

I Don`t Get Where You Are Coming From. Barkley Outplayed Malone when they Matched Up When He Was Healthy: 85-95. From 96-00 Malone Was Better, While Barkley Declined To Injuries. Never Before.

Barkley has a Higher PER
Barkley has a Higher EFF
Barkley Has a Higher Win Share Per 48 Min
Barkley Has a Higher Shot Made/Missed Diferential.
Barkley has a Higher Plus/Minus (3rd all Time after MJ and Lebron)

Prime Barkley Would Have Averaged 30 and 60% Under Stockton and Sloan System.

Malone was a better scorer
Both great rebounders (though Chuck seemed to want it more)
Barkley was easily a better ball handler (Chuck could go coast to coast, Malone could not).
Malone had the better teams for most of their careers.

Depending on your team, you couldn't go wrong with either one.

Agree with what you say mostly :applause: except the fact you say Malone was a better scorer. Which is not even close to true, unless you think Allen Iverson is a better scorer than Kobe Bryant because of PPG.

Great Scorers Score Alot For Every FGA Attempt Taken

Season:

Barkley shot 58.13% Two-Point FG at 21.6 PPG on 12.9...Two Point FGAs PG

Malone shot 51.9% Tw-Point FG FG at 24.7 PPG on 17.5...Two-Point FGAs PG

Play-Offs: Where Malone ALWAYS Declined:

Barkley shot 55.13% FG at 22.5 PPG on 14.5 ...Two-Point FGAs PG

Malone shot 46.6% Two-Point FG at 24.6 PPG on 19.3...Two-Point FGAs PG

BARKLEY WAS SHAQ-LIKE INSIDE THE 3-POINT LINE

He Had A TOP 5 GOAT PG WHO WAS THE GOAT OFFENSE CREATOR AND PASSER in Stockton: And "A Whole System Disgned For Him To Score" and Still Shot 46% in The Play-Offs. He Had Hornacek Who Was a Better Scorer Than Dan and Before He Had 6`11 Thurl Baily a Fine SF/PF Hybrid And The GOAT RIM PROTECTOR and SHOT BLOCKER in Mark Eaton.

Well Barkley was relegated to the 2nd team all NBA many years, even during his prime, because Malone and his team were so dominant. 11 1st team All-NBA vs 5 for Barkley, so many people at the time considered him better.

But I wonder what Karl Malone's stats were for Sunday playoff games? :lol

That's actually not why.

During both players' prime from '87-'93, they amassed the same # of 1st team all-NBA. From '87-'93 Barkley was consistently better on MVP voting, indicating he's actually the better player during that period.

It's just Barkley declined after '93 through burgers and soda while Malone maintained his awesome body. That's why he's out of the All NBA race.

All NBA Team Selections? :rolleyes: :roll: :no: ...Kobe Has Like 8-9 All NBA Defensive Teams and None Are Deserving (Prime Wade Was a Much Better Defender: Statistically and Broken Down Statistically Aswell). Nash Has 2 MVPs and Shaq 1. Was He Better than Shaq? I Can Go On Forever Regarding Votes and Fan Picking...etc.

Lets Remember That 1990 Was The Most Disguisting MVP Race Ever. Where Chuck Got All The 1st Place Votes and Was Left Out of The Top 5 In The Rest of Them. So Barkley Should Have 2 MVPs. Malone Deserved Only One in 1997 (well deserved though).

Barkley was considered The Best PF from 89-93 By Far. Infact He Was Considered The 2nd Best Player in The World By Coach Daily in The Dream Team in 1992. Then Barkley Declined after 1995 and Moved to Houston as a 3rd Fiddle While Malone Maintained His Level For The Rest of The Years. Thats a Plus on Malone: He Was More Dedicated and Harder Worker But That Has Nothing To Do With Abilities To Take Games Over and Be More Dominant. Barkley Was Consired By Most Elder Fans As The Best PF Prior to 1995-96. Before Was McHale and After That, It Was Malone...

Magic definitely deserved the MVP that season. 63 wins vs 53 wins.

Magic: 22/7/12/2 62% TS
Chuck: 25/12/4/2/1 66% TS

Barkley's level was too high for Karl M.

Malone had a longer career but thats thanks to his work ethic and John Stockton spoon feeding him...

One thing that stands out in this video, and this is a beastly video, shows all of Charles' skills. Karl can't do most of the things in this video honestly. But notice how Charles blocks Pippen's dunk. Today, the defender wouldn't have even gone up to contest that seeing as Pippen had a clear baseline to the basket. Think to Harrison Barnes dunk last night. Completely uncontested, nobody even tried to come over and block it, afraid of getting put on a poster or they weren't in position to take a charge:rolleyes:

Barkley was better than Malone between 87 and 93, basically their primes, in terms of the more explosive, dominant player. Malone wasn't better till like 94 or 95 when age and injuries( and lack of conditioning) took over Barkley.

Barkley isn't 6-4. He's 6-5 barefoot and at least 6-6 in shoes. It's more of a 2-3 inch difference in height.
