Malone was past his prime too they were born same year and Malone got the better of him in 97 WCF, but the guy making this video is like the rest of us and huge Barkley fan judging by all the clips.

Unlike now where players just go anywhere they want and create super teams cuz there is no real rivalries or hatred anymore. They are all friends and no one cares like that. Of course they want to win but the way they go about it is completely different. Back in the 90's you couldnt just easily up and leave and go to any team you wanted and create teams with your friends. Todays NBA is a joke.. Its why NBA's ratings are so bad now

    malone was better than barkley i would say around 95 and forward. practically same age, but barkley retired in 99 while maloney in 04....malone was better conditioned. his work ethic was the reason the jazz were in the finals in 97 & 98 against jordan, while his competition watching at home.

    I loved Malone in that series. Houston ruined the Jazz play off runs many times before this series. I think it was before game 1 Malone was shown riding into the stadium on his motor cycle and just looked so bad ass. You could feel something in the air with that shot of him. Right away in game 1 the Mailman was playing so intense and in the faces of Barkley, Hakeem, and the other Houston bigs. Just going at them, not backing down, super physical. I said to my girlfriend "This is different, Karl's had enough being bullied by this team, they are winning this series." Such a great era, Stockton and Malone my fav players of all time, and was addicted to the Jazz from 88-02. Gosh I miss them.. sigh. NBA just means nothing to me these days.

    Love Bill Walton's comment "that's just cheek to cheek ballroom dancing." lol. One of the things I hate about the NBA is it's so obvious when the league wants a certain team to win and you can see it so clearly in the way the refs are calling the game. At least back then the announcers would call it out that something was a clear foul or flop. Soon after that it was obvious that the announcers would get the word to go along with it and would either not talk about something again or show the replay about 20 times to point something out. And if a player or coach tried to point this out they'd get fined.

    Being a native Utahn and Jazz fan since I was conscious of basketball in the late 80's I relish the physicality and play of the NBA of yore. Today's league is so flaccid by comparison. It's really sad how lame it is now. Virtually NO posting up in the paint. Almost no real power forwards. I doubt if anyone in the NBA today dedicates as much time in the weight room as Malone did. Fast-break 3 pointers are so boring compared to drives and dunks of the greatest NBA era.
