This moron does this every month, all with corny ass one line OPs ("I'll take Karl" or stupid shit like that). He is more obsessed and delusional than Euroleague about his little pet cause.

Malone's consistency, dependability, productivity, durability and longevity is mind blowing and far above any other player I can think of. That's a crazy starting point for a guy who played over 1600 games.

I do agree that Barkley does have one of the best peaks ever, but Malone had 8 years where he had similar production to Barkley's peak. Barkley only had one year like his peak year. Barkley's third best year is similar in production to Malone's 19 year career average production in points and rebounds. Plus Malone played better defense.

Malone has 12 years of being right there at 25 and 10. Barkley has five years. While efficiency was never a big thing for power forwards - always was below defense and being aggressive, it gets cancelled out here because Malone was the leading scorer on a team that usually won more than Barkley: If Barkley had pushed the issue more with those losing teams they might have won more.
A great comment.

People underrate Malone's peak. The dude averaged 31/11/3 on 56% shooting while Barkley peaked at 26/12/5 on 52% shooting. I'm not saying Malone's was better, but it is pretty close. Also, 2 MVPs > 1 MVP
Another one.

Not only that, dude missed like 10 games over his first 18 seasons. That's GOAT level longevity. Also, Malone averaged 25/10/4 on 52% over a 19 season career, averaging 22/8/4 on 48% from ages 35-40.
Another one.

This GIF dude must be like some smelly foreigner or something who only watches basketball through archival video and gets his stats from BBall reference searches.

Everyone knows Barkley was better than Malone, everyone.
