Listen I don't want to come across as cynical, but this is a serious question I always wonder concerning the treatment we give to our celebrities. What do you really care how he is as a person ? I understand we all have - or should have - a moral code that reflects on our behaviour. And I understand the part of athletes and personalities as role models for the youth. But beyond what's reasonable to say and ask, what do we really care about how Karl Malone was as a person ? Would it affect me in any way, shape or form ? No. I don't give two fks about him nor any other athlete to that extent. I just want to enjoy his performance on the court, or whatever other field he's a master at. Other than that I don't understand the pseudo moralistic crap of coming at him just to act as a good person online in front of strangers.
@@MoralesCorner Because the media always extends to a celebrities personal life, everything he do are always being talked about. But if he wasn't a basketball player, molesting a child or (someone under age i forgot) is pretty shitty for a normal person, and his lucky he was famous because if not he would've paid the consequences.

Unfortunately for Karl, we’ll always have Pippen telling him “the mail isn’t delivered on sundays” and then Malone proceeds to miss key FTs in the Finals
@@johnnycatR58 Shaq also got away with murder shoving his shoulder into defender's faces. Sure Shaq got fouled hard once or twice. He weighed 350 freaken pounds. Of course they would let more people get away with hard fouls against someone that big, just like refs today rarely call a flagrant foul when someone fouls LeBron James because he doesn't fall down. Hardly any post other post player, e.g. Olajuwon, Robinson, or Duncan, were fouled as hard as Shaq.
EDP Malone is the greatest player to never win a ring I know he’s widely disliked for non basketball reasons. But how many players in NBA history can you name that have 2 MVPs, 14 all NBA teams, 4 all defense teams, 2nd all time scorer, etc? Also a combined 4-0 in the playoffs against 2000s stars like Kobe, Duncan, Garnett and Shaq.
40 year old Karl Malone shut down 28 year old Tim Duncan in the WCSF vs Lakers 2004 *Tim Duncan* 24.3 PPG on 58.8% vs Grizzlies 1st Round 20.7 PPG on 47.3% vs Lakers 17.5 PPG on 38.3% vs Lakers (last 4 games)
I use the 40 Karl Malone shutting down Tim Duncan during the 2004 WCSF everytime Spurs fanboys try to claim Duncan was better than Hakeem Olajuwon and played tougher competition, LMAO.
Karl Malone is the OJ Simpson of the NBA…ok they didn’t commit the same crimes but they’re both all-time great ringless athletes whose activities away from sports overshadow their careers.
It didn’t overshadow Malones career until about a year ago when majority of people found out. Even though their favorite athletes are also accused rapists
My pops had a cousin who played with Scottie at UCA and he saw them go against Karl Malone and he will tell me to this day that Karl was the best player he’s ever seen play in person

If shooting threes regularly were part of the game in his era than Malone would’ve had a great three point shot. The guy was an offensive machine, top 5 player in his era for sure
Truly tho for Karl Malone to play 17 years to play at this position with so much physicality in the 90s and 2000s is just astounding , it’s just unfortunate that he had to run into Michael Jordan In back to back seasons in the finals ..
Yes and no. 90’s PF is a much less injury prone position than being a perimeter player. The little guys have to penetrate into the trees and jump high. You’re moving fast and can get hammered to the ground. As PF you’re already near the basket and don’t have to jump as high
I became Jazz fan because of Stockton Malone duo. They were incredible, Malone pure force, and Stockton always playing hard (with his size!), but so many times they were beaten in CF. I was so happy when they finally reached Finals. Unfortunately, there was Jordan waiting.

Fun fact:- Karl Malone have a total of twelve total 2000 plus points which is a NBA record. Also he had nine 2000 plus points in the 90s which also is the highest amount of 2000 plus points by a individual in a decade.
As a Rockets fan I hated both him and Stockton as players. And that Stockton shot still hurts to watch. But I respected his work ethic, consistency and durability. Definitely a top 15 to 20 player of all-time.

Lebron is nothing like Magic. Magic was a real leader excellent teammate and floor general. LeBron is a stat padding ball hog who makes his teammates way worst
People always dismiss what he'd accomplish because he got no ring, he got Stockton & his off court issues. He's top 5 all time in thaf PF position. Idc what he done off the court. This is basketball we're talkin about.
Look, regardless of what Karl’s done in his life, and I don’t agree with it at all, he was still a very talented basketball player and while he was before my time, I’m glad I can still look up past games of him playing and be entertained. No one is perfect, but God is good.
He was in my lifetime of 38yrs the best power foward yes over Timmy and KG but he is a horrible man. He spent more time with wrestlers than he did with his own kids. He could play on my basketball team any day he is a true professional but he couldn't date my daughter.
@@ChewyChicken589 malone destroyed shaq, Robinson and Duncan in the previous rounds in 98 but the nba wouldn't give the jazz a small market team a chance against Jordans bulls
Imma keep it a buck. He’s honestly kinda of overrated. He had a very symbiotic relationship with Stockton for virtually his entire career. It’s not a coincidence that one is the all time assists leader by a wide margin and the other it second in points. They both needed one another to achieve their greatness. I think their accolades and careers turn out very differently if one is replaced with somebody else.
@Fries So you think Stockton and Malone was overrated cuz they were predictable but you make excuses for Nash cuz his the number one option? So technically he was predictable as well and had more flaws he cant even defend to save his life unlike Stockton that had the most steals in NBA history as well and a gritty defender.. dont tell me Stocktons steals was benefited from malone as well lol.. and Stocktons career was rated correctly.. he was not even in top5 mvp voting during his heyday while Nash 2mvps was sus and controversial to say the least.. they both got no rings but at least Stockton made 2 finals trip with 2 all time career record that will never be broken while Nash will always be remembered as the one of the most controversial mvps of the 2000s lol (while i agree that he was the mvp both times but medias and fans says otherwise)
@Fries Fair enough.. I do think the reason why many considered Stockton as high as 30 like you said is because of his longevity which is also a factor in a goat list or top 50ish something ranking.. imagine playing 82 games for 17 years or 18 years is unimaginable in todays NBA.. and he owns 2 of 5 main statistics in NBA history so theres that.. both are lil overrated by fans and medias for me but it doesnt mean they are not good.. ill say Stockton is better and greater between the two cuz of defense, longevity and consistency..
How come nobody mentions Kevin Johnson's off court stuff? Like nobody bats an eye at that guy, and he was continuously doing weirdo stuff into his 40's.
Andy can you do a video?.. whatever happened to these Kobe-era Lakers? • Chris Mihm • Mark Madsen • Devean George • Smush Parker • Sasha Vujicic • Derek Fisher • Rick Fox .. others
@@j.nich55 Firstly, i'm 16 years old so i wasnt even born in the 90's! Secondly, Malone was a beast of a man until the age of 40. Hakeem was phenomenon, no doupt. But Malone's prime lasted way longer than Hakeem's one!
@@athanasioskosmas3915 Hakeem’s peak was better, he was more clutch, delivered two championships to Houston, and was a far greater two-way player that didn’t have even an all-star caliber pg; let alone John f’n Stockton as his one. I don’t care about your age. That is no excuse for ignorance. Don’t post on it if you don’t want any replies. 💯
@@athanasioskosmas3915 Hakeem is way better. The rockets also had a winning record against the bulls and who was Hakeem’s second best teammate? No one near the level of Stockton for his career, lmao.
To be arguably top 2 at your position all time while owning incredible records and overall statistics plus accolades, is an incredible feat. But I still belive Charles Barkley was the better player when both were at their peak though obviously he didn't have Malone's dedication to fitness and training. You can also make a legitimate argument that Kevin Garnett was better when both were at their peak. But on his sheer dominance over time I have to say that he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Malone and Barkley were stronger offensively than Garnett. Garnett was a better defensive player though. I would put Garnett at #5 or 6 ranking, behind Duncan, Malone, Nowitzki, and Barkley. I might even put him behind McHale. He had the 2nd best post moves behind Olajuwon. And Barkley hated playing against him.
@@timmyg831 KG was as skilled as both of them offensively, he just didn't shoot as much because he was wired differently. They had to push KG to be aggressive offensively. I remember that being a big crititique of him for awhile. But he was probably a better passer than both of them plus far better defensively than both. You can argue KG was better than them at his MVP peak. Definitely.
@@Israel-nb7ip …Part of being a great offensive player is always looking for your shot. He was the main man at MN but he couldn’t carry them like Nowitzki or Olajuwon did. He could’ve been more aggressive offensively. Just like Jordan and Olajuwon were great as a two way player, KG was great as a defensive player but just very good as an offensive player. I don’t think he was as great as Barkley and Malone offensively. Passing, they all averaged about the same: Barkley (3.9 apg), KG (3.7 apg), Malone (3.6 apg). No one was better. Malone was on the 1st team defensive team 3 times but he never won DPOY. Not easy beating Olajuwon, Jordan, Rodman, Mutombo, Payton, Robinson, etc. KG had easier competitor than most players on defensive award. 90s and early 2000s had great defenders. Lol all 3 of them played great during their MVP seasons, you can’t say KG was better during his MVP than the other two, BS.
@@timmyg831 I didn't say you can definitively say KG was better. I clearly wrote you can make a legitimate argument that he was better when taking everything into consideration. As aggressive and elite as Malone and Barkley were offensively, KG was double the times better than both defensively guarding literally every position. KG is an all time great defensive player who also had all of the offensive tools Barkley and Malone had. And he was arguably the most important player on a championship team, which Barkley and Malone can't claim. You can make a legit argument for KG.
@@Israel-nb7ip …Lol KG wasn’t the most important player on the Celtics, are you kidding me? He was the Pippen, the “Robin”, on that team. He couldn’t carry his team in MN so he went to a loaded team in Celtics. Pierce was in his prime and KG was on his downward trend. Sort of like Drexler when he was with Rockets. KG would never have won anything if he didn’t join Pierce and Celtics lol. Dwyane Wade won a championship before LeBron got there. Olajuwon won a championship before before Drexler got there. KG couldn’t do much with his MN team in his prime. KG the most important on the Celtics? Lol. It’s like saying Pippen and Drexler were the most important on their teams.
People say Malone played bad in the Finals but he actually didn't. Here are the stats from Dirk Nowitzki and Karl Malone Finals combined (both played in 2 Finals): * Dirk Nowitzki 2006 & 2011 Finals Stats (Finals Pace: 87.9) - 24.4 PPG • 10.3 RPG • 2.3 APG • 0.7 SPG • 0.7 BPG • 40.3 FG% * Karl Malone 1997 & 1998 Finals Stats (Finals Pace: 83.0) - 24.4 PPG • 10.4 RPG • 3.7 APG • 1.4 SPG • 0.8 BPG • 47.4 FG%
Karl Malone is the second best power forward in NBA history. Despite all the bad things he had done he was a phenomenal basketball player. Can you imagine him with a decent 3 point shot?
@@nymalaanup330 I will put him around 3th. Duncan was built different. He was so fundamental people still question his playstyle is good or not. Malone is god on pick n roll. Definitely perfect duo with Stockton. Dirk was prototype stretch big in modern NBA. Shoot really well from 3 line and has one of unstoppable shoot. Barkley was an intimidator even though his height disadvantage. The last in top 5, KG. Man was a beast. Definitely one of great scorer and rebounding machine. Honorable mention, Giannis, will break into top 2, and Kevin McHale with the Celtic was a chef kiss
@@hijisfriend9030 DUNCAN was a CENTER all his life. He was register as a PF by POP because SPURS wanted to have 2 players in the all-star game, and there was no space for DUNCAN at the all-star game.
@@Romanus- yes he was. So Who was Spurs Center from 04-16?? Because before that they played with 2 centers... Thats why he was guarding the other team center. And why when he went to the bench another center came UP.
This man with less seasons than lebron and less turnovers and so idiots wanna call lebron the goat go he passes Karl and Kareem. LEBRON IS ALL TIME TURNOVERS LEADER AND WILL BE ALL TIME MISSED SHOTS AND FREE THROWS 19 SEASON AND STILL CAN PASS KARL MALONE THATS NOT SO GREAT BUT CURRY IS GREAT BREAKING RAY ALLEN RECORD IN LESS TIME AND MORE EFFICIENT
Eh, look at some of the games without Stockton.... He's basically a 20 point scorer without Stockton in the games he didn't have Stockton. With Stockton he's a near 29 PPG and 12 RPG dude with Stockton. Stockton made everyone better on those Jazz teams.
If Karl Malone didn't have off court alterations he would be considered the third best PF of all time. But few even consider him in the top 5, which says a lot about today's society. If he was a player nowadays, the NBA would be all his.
Karl Malone literally played 80 games and more in all but 2 of his NBA seasons. The guy also averaged 25 points and 10 rebounds in his whole NBA career. People don't understand how insane that is and how rare it is. If Karl Malone hadn't been such an awful human being off the court. And if he had won an NBA championship people would put him ahead of Tim Duncan as the best power forward off all time.
I always favored Barkley over him. Karl was more consistent, took better care of himself and aged better. However, I believe Barkley had a better peak. He didn't a Stockton (as great as KJ was) nor Sloan consistently.
As a player, he was good. As a person though, let’s just say he should stay far away from schoolyards.

It’s not a coincidence that one is the all time assists leader by a wide margin and the other it second in points. They both needed one another to achieve their greatness. I think their accolades and careers turn out very differently if one is replaced with somebody else.
@Fries by your logic then Steve Nash was more overated cuz he never got out of the western conference
@Fries So you think Stockton and Malone was overrated cuz they were predictable but you make excuses for Nash cuz his the number one option? So technically he was predictable as well and had more flaws he cant even defend to save his life unlike Stockton that had the most steals in NBA history as well and a gritty defender.. dont tell me Stocktons steals was benefited from malone as well lol.. and Stocktons career was rated correctly.. he was not even in top5 mvp voting during his heyday while Nash 2mvps was sus and controversial to say the least.. they both got no rings but at least Stockton made 2 finals trip with 2 all time career record that will never be broken while Nash will always be remembered as the one of the most controversial mvps of the 2000s lol (while i agree that he was the mvp both times but medias and fans says otherwise)
@Fries Fair enough.. I do think the reason why many considered Stockton as high as 30 like you said is because of his longevity which is also a factor in a goat list or top 50ish something ranking.. imagine playing 82 games for 17 years or 18 years is unimaginable in todays NBA.. and he owns 2 of 5 main statistics in NBA history so theres that.. both are lil overrated by fans and medias for me but it doesnt mean they are not good.. ill say Stockton is better and greater between the two cuz of defense, longevity and consistency..
Ok so what about the facts that Duncan had 5 hall of famers throughout his career. And KG had arguably 4
@Fries Pop 🥴
Well for basketball not being his main hobby, he was still pretty damn good at it

How come nobody mentions Kevin Johnson's off court stuff? Like nobody bats an eye at that guy, and he was continuously doing weirdo stuff into his 40's.
Liked and subscribed 👍🏽The Jazz and Bulls Era was Amazing back in 97❤️
He had a kid with a 13 year old girl, I could care less.
All my homies hate Karl Malone
How is this not a bigger deal than it seems to be?
Karl Malone walked so EDP could run
You cared enough to comment tho?
It's a basketball video though. Also, you really felt the need to let people know you don't care?
HAPPY NEW YEAR ANDY HOOPS !!!!!!! Hope u have an amazing and awesome 2022 my guy
On of the MOST efficient offensive players ever.
Happy New Years everyone!! Hopefully it’ll give us another great year of basketball and Andy videos!!

I don't know why that lil quick move look so cold still to this day
I heard he’s *really* good with the kids
The soldiers in Iraq want you to use protection clearly you didnt in more ways than one...
My ALL TIME Favorite POWER FORWARD. He EPITOMIZE the word "POWER" in Power Forward POSITION...
Happy New year Andy Hoops🏀🏀
Unique player! He's top 15 of all time! There's no doupt! The second best player after Jordan in the 90's!
2nd best in the 90s? Bruh….did you watch any Rockets basketball in the 90s?
@@j.nich55 Firstly, i'm 16 years old so i wasnt even born in the 90's! Secondly, Malone was a beast of a man until the age of 40. Hakeem was phenomenon, no doupt. But Malone's prime lasted way longer than Hakeem's one!
@@athanasioskosmas3915 Hakeem’s peak was better, he was more clutch, delivered two championships to Houston, and was a far greater two-way player that didn’t have even an all-star caliber pg; let alone John f’n Stockton as his one. I don’t care about your age. That is no excuse for ignorance. Don’t post on it if you don’t want any replies. 💯
@@athanasioskosmas3915 Hakeem is way better. The rockets also had a winning record against the bulls and who was Hakeem’s second best teammate? No one near the level of Stockton for his career, lmao.
@@buffoonbros4181 facts
At basketball? Pretty good.
Knowing the age of consent? About that...
I love your work man!
Congrats!
He would have been a mr olympia winner if he was not a basketball player.
Genetic freak!
Use me as the F Karl Malone button
To be arguably top 2 at your position all time while owning incredible records and overall statistics plus accolades, is an incredible feat. But I still belive Charles Barkley was the better player when both were at their peak though obviously he didn't have Malone's dedication to fitness and training. You can also make a legitimate argument that Kevin Garnett was better when both were at their peak. But on his sheer dominance over time I have to say that he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Malone and Barkley were stronger offensively than Garnett. Garnett was a better defensive player though. I would put Garnett at #5 or 6 ranking, behind Duncan, Malone, Nowitzki, and Barkley. I might even put him behind McHale. He had the 2nd best post moves behind Olajuwon. And Barkley hated playing against him.
@@timmyg831 KG was as skilled as both of them offensively, he just didn't shoot as much because he was wired differently. They had to push KG to be aggressive offensively. I remember that being a big crititique of him for awhile. But he was probably a better passer than both of them plus far better defensively than both. You can argue KG was better than them at his MVP peak. Definitely.
@@Israel-nb7ip …Part of being a great offensive player is always looking for your shot. He was the main man at MN but he couldn’t carry them like Nowitzki or Olajuwon did. He could’ve been more aggressive offensively. Just like Jordan and Olajuwon were great as a two way player, KG was great as a defensive player but just very good as an offensive player. I don’t think he was as great as Barkley and Malone offensively. Passing, they all averaged about the same: Barkley (3.9 apg), KG (3.7 apg), Malone (3.6 apg). No one was better. Malone was on the 1st team defensive team 3 times but he never won DPOY. Not easy beating Olajuwon, Jordan, Rodman, Mutombo, Payton, Robinson, etc. KG had easier competitor than most players on defensive award. 90s and early 2000s had great defenders. Lol all 3 of them played great during their MVP seasons, you can’t say KG was better during his MVP than the other two, BS.
@@timmyg831 I didn't say you can definitively say KG was better. I clearly wrote you can make a legitimate argument that he was better when taking everything into consideration. As aggressive and elite as Malone and Barkley were offensively, KG was double the times better than both defensively guarding literally every position. KG is an all time great defensive player who also had all of the offensive tools Barkley and Malone had. And he was arguably the most important player on a championship team, which Barkley and Malone can't claim. You can make a legit argument for KG.
@@Israel-nb7ip …Lol KG wasn’t the most important player on the Celtics, are you kidding me? He was the Pippen, the “Robin”, on that team. He couldn’t carry his team in MN so he went to a loaded team in Celtics. Pierce was in his prime and KG was on his downward trend. Sort of like Drexler when he was with Rockets. KG would never have won anything if he didn’t join Pierce and Celtics lol. Dwyane Wade won a championship before LeBron got there. Olajuwon won a championship before before Drexler got there. KG couldn’t do much with his MN team in his prime. KG the most important on the Celtics? Lol. It’s like saying Pippen and Drexler were the most important on their teams.
Acctually Stockton was in the driver seat... but the rest all is nicely made m8... good job on that vid. Enjoyed it
People say Malone played bad in the Finals but he actually didn't. Here are the stats from Dirk Nowitzki and Karl Malone Finals combined (both played in 2 Finals):
* Dirk Nowitzki 2006 & 2011 Finals Stats (Finals Pace: 87.9)
- 24.4 PPG • 10.3 RPG • 2.3 APG • 0.7 SPG • 0.7 BPG • 40.3 FG%
* Karl Malone 1997 & 1998 Finals Stats (Finals Pace: 83.0)
- 24.4 PPG • 10.4 RPG • 3.7 APG • 1.4 SPG • 0.8 BPG • 47.4 FG%
He wasn’t horrible but he didn’t raise his level of play from the RS to the finals like Charles Barkley did in the 1993 Nba finals.
Karl Malone is the second best power forward in NBA history. Despite all the bad things he had done he was a phenomenal basketball player. Can you imagine him with a decent 3 point shot?
It's dirk nowitzki
@@nymalaanup330 I will put him around 3th. Duncan was built different. He was so fundamental people still question his playstyle is good or not. Malone is god on pick n roll. Definitely perfect duo with Stockton. Dirk was prototype stretch big in modern NBA. Shoot really well from 3 line and has one of unstoppable shoot. Barkley was an intimidator even though his height disadvantage. The last in top 5, KG. Man was a beast. Definitely one of great scorer and rebounding machine. Honorable mention, Giannis, will break into top 2, and Kevin McHale with the Celtic was a chef kiss
@@hijisfriend9030 DUNCAN was a CENTER all his life.
He was register as a PF by POP because SPURS wanted to have 2 players in the all-star game, and there was no space for DUNCAN at the all-star game.
@@onlyfacts3178 Duncan was not a center
@@Romanus- yes he was.
So Who was Spurs Center from 04-16??
Because before that they played with 2 centers... Thats why he was guarding the other team center.
And why when he went to the bench another center came UP.
Karl Malone was so good that he took his talents to little girls
Make a full video of how good was Lakers Karl Malone actually 😃
Don't give this man any platform, seriously!!!
Your comment doesn't matter actually.
This man with less seasons than lebron and less turnovers and so idiots wanna call lebron the goat go he passes Karl and Kareem. LEBRON IS ALL TIME TURNOVERS LEADER AND WILL BE ALL TIME MISSED SHOTS AND FREE THROWS 19 SEASON AND STILL CAN PASS KARL MALONE THATS NOT SO GREAT BUT CURRY IS GREAT BREAKING RAY ALLEN RECORD IN LESS TIME AND MORE EFFICIENT
Karl Malone was a great college basketball player. Glad the Jazz chose to honor his impactful actions by picking him 13th overall in the draft
the #33 best player ever LITERALLY always has and will be karl malone
The shaq before shaq , 2nd score of all time for reasons
He was the best power forward in the league for a decade and 2 years, that should tell you all u need to know
I'll rank him the 13th best player all time because that's his favorite number
Eh, look at some of the games without Stockton.... He's basically a 20 point scorer without Stockton in the games he didn't have Stockton. With Stockton he's a near 29 PPG and 12 RPG dude with Stockton. Stockton made everyone better on those Jazz teams.
13 years old bro
4:15 I thought I was trippin for a second lol
Karl Malone was a great player but respecting Karl Malone as a human just isn't possible which is exactly why he is overshadowed
If Karl Malone didn't have off court alterations he would be considered the third best PF of all time. But few even consider him in the top 5, which says a lot about today's society. If he was a player nowadays, the NBA would be all his.
can you make video abt the 1986 draft class - the saddest draft in NBA history? love the content btw :)
I like how many haters/casuals will say when Karl was lakers it's his twilight years but still hold LeBron to such high standards in order to hate.
Do a video on how good Kobe Bryant was ?
If Karl Malone had 2 or 3 rings he would be the Power Forward Goat
Karl Malone literally played 80 games and more in all but 2 of his NBA seasons. The guy also averaged 25 points and 10 rebounds in his whole NBA career. People don't understand how insane that is and how rare it is. If Karl Malone hadn't been such an awful human being off the court. And if he had won an NBA championship people would put him ahead of Tim Duncan as the best power forward off all time.
I always favored Barkley over him. Karl was more consistent, took better care of himself and aged better. However, I believe Barkley had a better peak. He didn't a Stockton (as great as KJ was) nor Sloan consistently.
