Karl Malone Picks Scottie Pippen Over Michael Jordan for Dream Starting Five
According to Utah Jazz legend Karl Malone, the guy who tortured him in two consecutive NBA Finals (1997, 1998) wouldn’t make it onto The Mailman’s all-time starting lineup. Malone says he’d go with Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen instead, since Pip was a more versatile player. Per the Dan Patrick Show: “The Hall of Famer discusses a wide range of topics, including who he’d take between LeBron James and Michael Jordan and where he ranks himself among the great power forwards. He also picked his dream team and leaves off Jordan, taking Scottie Pippen instead.”

Kobe wasn't even a thought. :laugh:

if he doesnt pick jordan, what makes u think he'd pick kobe? dude's obviously not a fan of winners...in his starting 5 theres only 2 players who have been Finals MVP.
-
Karl Malone also got his cousin pregnant when she was 14 years old....that dude is on some Elano type shit 4real
-
Was she fine? If so, props

Karl Malone @TheDeliverer_32 8h
Dan Patrick had a man crush on MJ from the time we started the interview. I was just messing with him.
Dan Patrick had a man crush on MJ going back 20 years in fact

Karl Malone @TheDeliverer_32 8h
Calm down little grasshoppers, if you people don't think MJ is in my top 5 you have to hear the whole interview.

my starting 5:
PG Oscar Robertson
SG MJ
SF Bird
PF KG
C Hakeem
6th man: Lebron
now that's a team that nobody could beat 8)

I respect Karl Malone as a player. He's certainly one of the greatest, hard working and a great team player.
But as a person, the dude has always been wack to me. He was one of the first cats crying about AIDS when Magic tried to make a comeback (even though it's medically impossible to contract AIDS from playing basketball with someone). He always used to cry about Rodman's antics as well (which was always funny cause Rodman would get in that ass and antagonize him during games). Dude, is like a country boy hick in a black man's body.
...And now this. Hating on Jordan. I hope Jordan responds.

My All Time team:
1. PG - Magic
2. SG - Jordan
3. SF - Pippen
4. PF - Rodman
5. C - Duncan
...You can't have too many scorers on the team. In this offense Duncan and Jordan can score all the points, Magic can distribute the ball, Rodman can play defense and rebound, and Pippen can be versatile and do whatevers needed to win.

That was whack, but you gotta remember that was during a time when a lot of people were ignorant as fuck about AIDS in general, a lot of other people probably thought the same thing. At least dude appeared on that documentary and has owned up to it.

PF Elgin Baylor
C Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

LMAO why...because I realize that there are more players than just Lakers out there?
-
u picked garnett and lebron over any laker who's ever played...ur opinion holds no weight
-
u picked garnett and lebron over any laker who's ever played...ur opinion holds no weight
KG = best power forward ever
Lebron = going to go down as the best all around player ever when all is said and down and can play all 5 positions while scoring 27 PPG regardless
-

WHERE DO U GET THIS SHIT FROM? I'D LIKE TO SEE U CITE ONE CREDIBLE SOURCE FOR KG AS BEST POWER FORWARD EVER. IN HIS MINNESOTA DAYS, HE WAS ON PACE TO BEIN IN THE DISCUSSION. BUT ONCE HE CAME TO BOSTON AND BECAME A 2ND FIDDLE, HE WAS INSTANTLY REMOVED FROM THE DISCUSSION. AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE'S IN THE DIRK-MCHALE 2ND TIER, NOT EVEN IN THE DUNCAN-MALONE TOP TIER.

sounds like you put some crack in your weed pipe by accident NIK

STILL WAITING ON THAT SOURCE SHOWING KG AS THE GOAT POWER FORWARD, CORNTROLLIO

who cares? I'm taking the guy who averaged 6 assists a game as a power forward (same career high as your boyfriend Kobe)

If we are doing starting 5's:
PG Magic Johnson
SG Michael Jordan
SF LeBron James
PF Tim Duncan
C Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
sixth man: Kobe Bryant
Magic and LeBron are all around players and passers, Michael and Kareem are the inside out scoring threat, Duncan does all the other stuff and Kobe comes off the bench to add more scoring flare when needed.

PG - Magic
SG - MJ
SF - Oscar/Bird

Now that would be the ultimate "Dream Team" 8)
