if you gave KG John Stockton he wouldn't have had to leave Minny for rings

maybe yes, during the time he was there, now if you trade malone for garnett in the jazz squad of the 90's, I think they still wouldn't win it all. don't get me wrong, garnett in his prime was great offensively and just a beast defensively and on the boards but I don't rank him above duncan, barkley or malone.

I actually like both Malones ahead of him. But yeah, he is very underrated. Mainly due to the frontcourt he played with. Easy to get overshadowed by Bird. I always thought it would be an amazing matchup to see Duncan and Mchale in their primes against eachother.

moses? he's one of my favourite players ever, but I see him more as a center, that was his main position, even though he could play at the 4 and was "only" 6' 10''. that would be amazing to see no doubt.

Petey:
mchale was a fucking beast.

Sccit:
yea...moses malone was a center. as far as charles barkley, the guy is just a character and his opinion changes weekly. he doesn't think before he speaks, which is actually what makes him great. but i do believe he was saying greatest player he played against as in head-to-head match-up (power forwards)...that wouldn't be far off, as mchale most definitely is a top power forward of all time.


side note- fuck mchale on nbatv....who else misses the good ol' days with gp and c-webb hosting fan night?
