2011 Mavs running hot on the '98 Bulls?
Dirk 2011 post-season was better than '98 MJ too, so why not.

I don't have prime Malone's shooting numbers, so it's hard to compare, but I suspect at least a few above 40% mid-range shooting seasons when he shot as high as 39% on J's in his twilight years.
Blake is an elite passing big and one of the best post players in the L. Second most points at the rim last season after Lebron. His shooting had improved every season. I don't doubt he'll be 40% jumpshooter. He did just finish his 4th season.
If anything BG is better at getting to the rim in the half court

Malone's consistency and longetivity are crazy though, do you think Dirk at 39 will be as good as Malone was at 39?

Better. How could he not? Best big man jump shot in the L.

A rich man's Blake Griffin. I give Karl a hard time on here, but he would have been a much better player than your giving credit for.

Maybe I'm just overrating Blake. I think he's a mid top 10 player atm.
