I am a fan of Karl Malone, such power and strength he had. Not prone to injury. He was the mailman. Too bad he was not able to deliver a championship for Utah. I wish they defeated the Bulls even for at least once in their two trips to the championship series against the Bull.
Malone is a legend. Who else in power forward position or any other would play for 20 years and had 25-10-4 with over 50% fg per game? Too bad he went to Lakers or wasnt young enough to reign in 2000s with those easy teams in East and basically no power forward (just Tim and Dirk).
The whole "they ran into MJ" is just an excuse, it was more "they ran into a bad matchup". The Bulls backcourt size and length was able to cut off the constant pick and roll plays Stockton usually excute and Malone let Rodman/Pippen get to him.
Coming from a Bulls fan, this was one of Karl's greatest games in the Finals. The other one was 1998 NBA Finals Game 5 when Utah strave off elimination behind Karl's 39 point performance.
love to see box score, just amazing how many more shots n misses jordan n kobe have than others, and to think what higher percent shooter like mchale bird malone barkley do with more shots
You wont see that from your power forward anymore. Im no Jazz fan but if Utah had someone else who could score besides Malone and Stockton they might have won at least one title.
Allen Greene I'd say this since today's league isn't as prevalent on physical play but more on speed, Malone would not be a contender against Love and Griffin due to his speed as shown in 0:52-0:55.
No PF on the history of the NBA has run the floor better than Malone, NO ONE. LOL, Kevin Loves speed, hahaha?. And Blake will never be on Malones level. Malone would eat them both alive.
Playoff career high of 50, regular season career high of 61 points, 3rd all time scorer. And for all of that, Karl never once won a ring. He had the chance and Jordan stole the ball. Would've liked to have seen the mailman go out with a ring. They had some great teams.
power forawrd center all this position crap is idiotic, housting did great with 2 "centers" and detroit with 3 "guards" just put best players out there and or ones that play together best vs other team forget positions
Wu Liwei i agree qith that comment....thats a very observant comment bro....i ask pple to rank1 thru 6 in terms of who gave the bulls the most challenge and the 97 jazz gabe them the most troubke....3 of the bulls 4 wins were on game winners 1. 97 jazz 2. 93 suns 3. 92 portland 4. 98 jazz 5. 96 soncis 6. 91 lakers.. To me anyways
@@brianwilliams6167 Look at game 4 and 5 of the Sonics Bulls Jordan scored barely 20 points on 30% from the field. I’d say Sonics were tough too but the first 3 games they didn’t have Payton on Jordan.
Utah's homes crowd was so lit back then.

If Carr didn't leave Utah in the 1998-1999 season they would've won
if Malone did any of these moves in today's NBA he would be fouled every time and would be the all time leading scorer by a long way

Dirk had serious game
seeing the caliber of players during the 90's, it makes Jordan seem so much better than Lebron
Love the Era, but players are better now. Nobody in the 90s would have a clue what to do with someone like Steph Curry.
@ericruiz1036 depends on the rule.. dribbling back then is much harder because of the Rules
how in the hell did stockton and malone never win a title?
They didn't have any good players on their team
Maybe they had to vs Jordan
+Some Guy JORDAN

At the end of the game the teams they played had more points than they did
Dude, what a beast! It's so pity that he never won any championship... Malone, Barkley and Kemp were the best centers ever.
Lol NONE of those guys were centers.....all were PF
No. Stockton and Malone were the ultimate pick and roll combo, all you would hear during a utah game was "Stockton to Malone"
If only he was more consistent in the series, they would have won
The combination of size and athleticism that Karl Malone possessed is just crazy to think about.
Coming from a Bulls fan, this was one of Karl's greatest games in the Finals. The other one was 1998 NBA Finals Game 5 when Utah strave off elimination behind Karl's 39 point performance.
Karl malone was a power forward. Cut, print, send, why is this even an argument.
Top 10 all time steals
The Mailman always delivers !!
A skillful powerhouse with range
A.k.a, in today's nba, GOD....
love to see box score, just amazing how many more shots n misses jordan n kobe have than others, and to think what higher percent shooter like mchale bird malone barkley do with more shots
utha leading by 18??? damn u never hear about this shit on TV
Malone was the goat at pf
Yes but the year..1999-2009.was good basketball too
not on sunday
The mailman is unstoppable. Malone & Stockton are the best couple ever, maybe after Oliver & Hardy and Lemon & Matthau ... XD
Bulls got worked in this game
when the NBA was worth watching..
what's the name of the song in the backround during the intro?
LOL Malone's run 0:52-0:55

Kevin Suresh Kevin Love doesn't have great speed. now Blake on the other hand that's a different story.

have saomeone has an idea what was karl malone saying when doing a freethrow?
I would be awesome PG too if Malone would be on ym team!!!
2:21 Carry?? What carry..?? Wow the rules back then are much more defined
Malone was a Power Forward as was Kemp get your facts right
anyone knows what is he mumbling before he makes free throws?
Lol nobody knows
he is cussing out people he is pissed off at
"7, 8, 9"
Doesn't make them less of power forwards.
@TheGepard0 Except on Sundays
power forawrd center all this position crap is idiotic, housting did great with 2 "centers" and detroit with 3 "guards" just put best players out there and or ones that play together best vs other team forget positions
The 97 Jazz could beat the 98 Bulls
