If it weren t for Jordan s suppression, would Karl Malone be the all time number one forward?

A ranking that is now more recognized, Duncan is first at the power forward position, and Karl Malone is second. Malone's main weakness is in the championship, he has reached the finals twice, but both lost to the same opponent, Michael Jordan. And Malone's performance in the regular season is very strong, not only can he win the MVP at the age of 33 and 35, but his career total score is the second highest in history, just looking at the data, Malone is not worse than Duncan, or even slightly stronger.

So if Jordan hadn't suppressed it, would Malone be the No. 1 forward in history?

Jordan's suppression of Malone was not only a direct defeat in the Finals, but also in the regular season. Malone has ranked second on the scoring list 5 times in his career, namely the second in the scoring list of 4 consecutive points in the 88-92 season, and the 9697 season, the scoring champion in these five years is Jordan, and Malone has failed to steal the scoring title in Jordan's hands even if he averaged 31 points per game in 90. If there is no Jordan, Malone would have 5 scoring champions in hand, becoming the player with the most scoring champions in modern basketball, and he is second only to prehistoric monsters like Chamberlain in the entire history.

In the MVP list, Jordan also suppressed Malone, 9798 season, Jordan averaged rebounds, assists and steals per game, Malone averaged 27 points, rebounds and assists and steals per game, Malone hit a higher rate, the Bulls and Jazz both had a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, but the MVP was finally given to Jordan, and the number of votes was also very close. And in the 9697 season and the 9899 season, Malone won the MVP, so it can be said that if there is no Jordan, then Malone is likely to achieve 3 consecutive MVPs.

Finally, in the finals, Malone lost to Jordan in the finals twice in a row, in fact, the Jazz at that time was very strong, 64 wins in 97 and 62 wins in 98, both of which were the first in the West, and if the finals were not played by the Bulls but by other teams, Malone should have won at least one championship. And after the championship, Malone naturally does not need to go to the Lakers F4 at the end of his career, he can continue to stay in the Jazz with peace of mind, play freely in the team system he is familiar with, and may even be one to two years older, so as to surpass Abdul-Jabbar in total points to become the first in history.

So without Jordan's suppression, Malone is likely to be 3 MVPs, 1 to 2 championships, 1 to 2 FMVPs, 3 to 5 scoring titles, plus the honor of the all-time scoring champion. Compared with Duncan's 5 crowns, 3FMVP and 2MVP, although it is still not dominant, it will definitely make Duncan's all-time number one forward no longer as stable as before.

Without Pippen, Jordan couldn't suppress anyone.

Even if he adds 2 crowns and 2 MVPs to Malone, he still can't compare with Duncan on the same stage. Duncan 5 crowns, 3fmvp2mvp, 10 one line, 8 defense. In terms of honor, except for one less than Ma Long, the others are all surrounded.

Duncan led the team to more than 50 wins in 18 of his 19 career seasons. The other season was the '99 shrinking season, where the Spurs were 37-13 and topped the regular season, and this season would have been the first if it hadn't been for the MVP selection (Jazz were first before voting ended, and 1-0 Spurs; After the vote, the Spurs won 8 consecutive victories to reach the top, including a double kill to the Jazz), and the Postman's MVP will be returned to Duncan.

1 crown and crown, it is Ma Long.

Anyone in the Jordan era is garbage!! However, it is much higher than the garbage in these garbage now!

No, Duncan, who is now recognized as the first power forward position, is second in the main weakness of Malone, who has never won an NBA championship.

No, because Karl Malone has never won an NBA championship, which makes it impossible for him to be the No. 1 power forward.

Without Jordan's suppression, Karl Malone might have won one or two championships, but even so, he is still a lot less than what Tim Duncan has created. Therefore, he will not be the all-time number one striker.

Maybe you can win one or two championships, and your historical status is higher.

Without Jordan, Karl Malone would definitely have the strength to beat Duncan to become the No. 1 forward in history. At least without Jordan, Karl Malone would have won at least three championships. But after all, there is no if.

I think it's okay because Karl Malone has had an extremely long career and he can definitely win a championship without Jordan.

First, competitive sports never talk about ifs, your questions don't make sense, you directly if Duncan wasn't born, wouldn't it be better?

Second, it's ridiculous to take a superstar and assume the situation in the league. Do you understand the butterfly effect?

Third, without Jordan, Malone would have two championships. With 3 championships less than Duncan and a Finals MVP, he still has to rank behind Duncan.

In fact, even if Malone won the championship in those two years, I don't think he can surpass Duncan to become the league's No. 1 forward. Duncan's peak period is very long, and his ability to lead the team is indeed stronger than Malone.

Even if he sends Malone 2 crowns and 2 MVPs, he is far from Duncan. Duncan 5 crowns 3FMVP2MVP10 a burst of 8 defense, Malone 1997 MVP controversy will not be mentioned, 1999 If it is not for the shrinkage season voting deadline in advance, it will definitely be given to Duncan, Duncan led the team to 8 consecutive wins after the deadline, including the double kill Jazz to the top of the regular season championship.

Let's put it this way, if the postman can steal a ring from God in the two years of 9798, it is estimated that there will be suspense before the first big one, but I prefer Duncan because he is better defensively than the postman.

Alas, the impossible. To put it simply, I played baseball for three years. He rushed out of the west no, that's all.

He was originally the number one big front, idiot, hehe! It's just coaxed a few championships.

No. Although Karl Malone has a strong scoring ability and a tough defense, there are many players who are better than him, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, etc.

Karl Malone will be the first. In the entire history of the NBA, if there is no Jordan, Camaron can rank first in historical honors and statistics, and he will become the first person in NBA history.

No. Karl Malone as one of the best power forwards in history. But even without Jordan, there are many other good players in the league, and he can't be said to be the first person in the league.

I don't think so, he's Jordan's greatest opponent, they make each other better, and without him, they can't bring out the horror of Jordan's strength.

There may be one more MVP, a few more scoring champions, and two more champion FMVPs, maybe it's the first big front.

Karl Malone's peak was mainly in the nineties of the last century, an era dominated by Jordan, who won six championship trophies in this decade, scoring title, best team, and best defense. So much so that the NBA "celebrity" Barkley uttered the famous phrase "We (superstars) ruled the nineties, and Jordan ruled us." This is enough to show that Jordan was the best player in the nineties of the last century, and he was the "first active player" in the league at that time.

Would Carl Malone have been able to rule the nineties and become the first man of that era without Jordan? I guess that's impossible. The NBA in the 90s of the last century was an era of heroes, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Ewing, O'Neal composed of the "four centers", as well as Barkley, Drexler, Payton in the West, and the Pistons Bad Boys, Pippen, and Penny Hardaway in the East, none of which are fuel-efficient lamps, and none of them will make Carl Malone easily sit in the first position.

In fact, Karl Malone led his Jazz team to the playoffs only twice, in 1997 and 1998, and most of the time he was buried in the wild playoffs in the West. In other words, Jordan only beat Karl Malone in those two Finals games, and most of the time it was the teams in the West that beat Malone. Drexler's Trail Blazers, Olajuwon's Rockets, and Payton's SuperSonics have all beaten Karl Malone's Jazz in the playoffs.

In addition, Malone's personal accolades were not enough to make him shine in the 90s, Malone won two MVPs in the 90s, entered the All-NBA team for nine consecutive years, and was selected to the All-Defensive Team for three consecutive years, and was called the best power forward in the 90s. But the contemporaneous Olajuwon won one MVP, two FMVP, two rebounding kings, three block kings, and the data and honors did not lose to Malone.

No, because there is a good chance that Karl Malone will be defeated by other teams, and he will become the all-time number one striker at most.

If there is no Jordan, Karl Malone will be "a god", among the top 15 in history, and even become a top 10 goalkeeper. It's a pity that history has no ifs. We all know that Michael Jordan, a superstar of a generation, is by far the "unique" great athlete in NBA history.

His outstanding contributions to the game of basketball are unmatched by almost no one in the history of basketball. In Jordan's words, he is the NBA's "benchmark for greatness." This sentence is used to describe Jordan's perfect career resume, which is simply appropriate.

Looking back in the nineties, the NBA almost lived in the shadow of Jordan's rule. He was like a leisurely stroll, easily won six championship trophies, two triple championships; To this day, there are still many fans who can't figure out how exactly he did it. It can be said that movie scripts generally dare not act like this.

As a result, there are many superstars who should have achieved more top honors and made it to the halls of NBA history, but because of Jordan, they ended up missing out on the best of the best. Among them, the most representative is definitely the "uncrowned king" Carl Malone.

Ma Long's super strength can be said to be obvious to all. At his peak, his comprehensive ability was not below any outstanding power forward in history. To this day, Malone remains the second-highest scorer in all-time, behind the legendary Abdul-Jabbar of a generation.

In that year, he and Stockton formed the Jazz team;

The combat power is proud of the Western giants, and it also poses a great challenge to the old Jordan who won the last three consecutive championships. It's a pity that in the two finals, Malone was slightly inferior to Jordan, especially the "Pitch of the Century" in 98, which made Ma Long's career bleak ever since.

If it weren't for Jordan, Malone would probably be a two-time champion, two-time FMVP, and three-time MVP, and with these top honors, he could have become a top 10 goalkeeper in NBA history.

If there is no Jordan, then his status will become very high, because his strength will not be much worse than Jordan.

It's hard to say, maybe he still doesn't have a championship, maybe he only has one or two championships, and his historical status will definitely rise a little, but it's still a bit hanging in the top ten.

Without Jordan, Karl Malone would have a higher historical status and could well become the all-time No. 1 striker.

Jordan's personal characteristics are very obvious, and Jordan is a very capable and thoughtful basketball player, even without Jordan Karl Malone would not be the first.

No way, no Jordan, there's Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, Russell, Duncan, O'Neal, James, Kobe, Magic. It won't be his turn. After all, he didn't make it to the top ten in history.

It is very likely that he will become the first person, because his strength is also very strong, and his personal level is very high.

No. Because only two of Jordan's six championships were won against Karl Malone. Two championships weren't enough to make Karl Malone the all-time first, and at most in the all-time top 10.
