And he had another hall of famer on his team, and probably one of the best 2 or 3 point guards of ALL time on his team. Duncan can still win this years title, and probably a couple more in his career. Malone didnt do shit, but score a lotta points in a system geared towards getting him wide open jumpers and layups in a pick n roll. Malone was a great player, but as a well rounded power forward, Duncan is far better.

Maybe even ahead in the series...
^lol now he's even the best FORWARD ever. this shit is getting outta hand. ridiculous.

Duncans game is so unselfish its unbelievable. The easy thing to do would be for Tim to just shoot over 30 times a game and score over 30 points a game like Malone. But then, that wouldnt give them the best chance of winning (it IS a team game and all). Malone was on some VERY good teams. And what power forwards wouldnt want to play with one of, if not the best point guard ever...in a strait up pick and roll offense? Bottom line, Malone never lead his teams to championships. And it wasnt like he was on shitty teams. Utah was always one of the top teams in the west. He doesnt have the individual awards that Tim has, OR the championships. So wheres the comparisons? All Malone has the advantage on as a player, are points per game. And like i said, score first....win second. A pick and role offense with the best point guard to ever run that offense, who plays pass first score second. Meaning...Malone was ALWAYS the first option, and usually with a lay up down the lane, or a wide open 10-15 foot jumper. Easy to put up numbers like that...
