i hate this guy with a passion, but hes very underated. nobody ever seems to put him in the top 10 list. i think because he such an butthole people over look his numbers. sure he didnt win any championships, but his numbers are just out of the world.

Nevus

I think some people also think that John Stockton and the Utah system inflated his numbers.

Debt Collector

id say if he is being underrated in the grand scheme, its because he hasnt won a championship

PauloCatarino

I don't think he is underrated. Unliked? Even Hated? Yes.

But his career speaks for himself. Really, is there anybody who doesn't consider him at least All-Time Top 15 (till now)?

Like A Breath

Just look at the top ten, who would you be able to take off the list? He just doesn't have the credentials.

roastedtoaster

jokeaward

He could be Top 10.

MJ
Wilt
Russell
Magic
Bird
Big O
Kareem
Hakeem
Erving
K Malone

Then West, M Malone, Stockton, etc.

Then it´s top-11.

No way Malone was better than The Logo. NO WAY!

People argue for Malone as the best PF of all time fairly often. I don't think that's underrated in the least.

I'm of the ilk that believes it was actually the Mailman that inflated Stockton's numbers.

That's not to take anything away from Stockton though. He was obviously an amazing player.

snowmt

Malone is a regular season players and often chokes in
playoff and clutch time. He's definitely not top 10 worthy.

Most of the top 10 players are definitions of clutch except
Wilt and Shaq. Wilt was also more of a regular season
player but he was just too dominant. Shaq always saves
his game for the playoff.

PauloCatarino

so, for the reasons you stated, you hate KG's guts, huh?

Tim Duncan > Karl Malone

I have gained a lot more respect for KG this year.

By the way, I am not saying Malone is garbage. He's
obviously a top 15 player of all-time. But top 10 is
pretty high standard and they are expected to play
better in big games.
