Karl Malone - The Power in Power Forward

Malone would have gone for 100 against Boozer's matador defense...

I know what you mean by this post. Malone had that kind of fire in him. With the rule changes today, and players of today so-called defense. Malone wouldve went for a hundred, probably wouldve fell short at 80 though. If the players of the 90's with their skill level were to see todays NBA rules while they were in their prime, Jordan would be averaging 55 per game and Malone would be an easy 40 pt 20 reb per night guy. I think even an old, upper 40's malone would be a 16 pt/ 8 reb per game guy.
 
Thanks for all the great vids Prodigy... I got to admit though... the Stockton and Malone vids will always bring a smile to my face. I miss those two. What a combo.
 
The thing that admire the most about Malone (and Stockton for that matter) is that they were fearless. They didnt fall victim to intimidation and attacked when they needed to. Players in the NBA today could learn a lot from watching the defensive skills of Malone and Stockton. Sometimes offense isnt everything.
