Well said, neelrock. Let me add... Karl Malone was one of ONLY 2 PLAYERS ALL-TIME to average at least 25 points in 11 consecutive seasons!!! (Jerry West being the other) Also one of ONLY 4 PLAYERS ALL-TIME to average at least 25pts and 10reb in their career. (Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Bob Pettit, Karl Malone) I can go on and on, with statistics and awards, but what I will remember most about Karl Malone, is that he is the last of a generation, he played the game the right way, and he gave 200% never taking a night off. With SO MANY players today, just showing up, and collecting a paycheck, he gave the fans their moneys worth, EVERY NIGHT. Like him or not, NUMBERS DON'T LIE. One of the greatest players ever, and UNDISPUTABLY, UNDENIABLY, THE GREATEST POWER FORWARD OF ALL-TIME!!!
This Mailman no longers delivers
