Karl Malone gets a bad rap for not winning unfortunately.

[T_L_P]

Not surprising considering it's a Jazz basketball blog

[L.Kizzle]

Better defender than Barkley.

Tim Duncan has played half of his career at center.

Karl Malone is unquestionably the greatest power forward to ever play the game. He dominated the position for like 20 straight years.

Duncan became the GOAT PF after 7 seasons though.

That YouTube video is a great video for fans who have their doubts about legends of the past dominating in this era.


He was owning some players who have been in the modern era in that video.

Odom, Garnett, Duncan, Wallace, Vlade, Yao Ming...... Lol he gave Vlade hell

Malone was a very good and tough man defender... but he wasn't a good help defender, and never anchored a team defense like Duncan does.

Power forwards generally don't anchor defenses though, so it's not really a big deal.

It's like KG and Duncan did, and that's about it... And Duncan played C half the time.

Less than half. He was exclusively a PF from '97 to '03, then he played PF or C depending on who his back up was. He plays PF this season, for example.

If we're talking throwback stuff and head-to-head, Duncan also dropped 46 points on Malone's Jazz in his 3rd season

SAN ANTONIO Tim Duncan scored a career-high 46 points Monday night to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 93-86 victory over the Utah Jazz, and back into first place in the NBA's Midwest Division.

The Spurs, who now lead the Jazz by a half game, had only two players in double figures as Terry Porter added 16 points.

Duncan, who also pulled down 14 rebounds, was 16-of-28 from the floor and 14-of-16 at the free throw line as he topped his previous career-high of 42 points.

Karl Malone scored 23 points to lead Utah, Howard Eisley added 16 and Bryon Russell had 15.

Utah closed the third quarter with a 10-2 run capped by Eisley's 3-point field goal with 46 seconds remaining that gave the Jazz a 68-59 lead going into the fourth.

Trailing 70-61 after a dunk by Greg Ostertag, San Antonio rallied with a 17-4 run, capped by a breakaway dunk by Antonio Daniels with 6:11 to play.

With Duncan dominating in the low post, San Antonio stretched its advantage to 84-78 on Duncan's jump shot with 1:56 to play.

Two free throws by John Stockton brought Utah to 84-82 with 1:13 remaining.

Porter put the game away for San Antonio with consecutive 3-pointers in the final 51.1 seconds. His second gave San Antonio a 90-84 lead with 16.9 seconds to play.

Utah scored its final eight points at the free throw line, with Malone connecting on a pair to bring the Jazz to within 90-86 with 10.8 seconds remaining.

Porter and Duncan answered with free throws in the final 10.3 seconds to seal the victory.

Helps when you have elbows like Iron Girders.

[Artillery]

Dirtiest player of all-time. He wouldn't be effective in the modern era though. Would foul out of games or be ejected for some the garbage he used to get away with in the 90s.
