    If Barkley had Stockton his numbers would be lopsided as hell, as it is Charles numbers about even with Malone which tells you everything you need to know.

    Surprised Iverson is winning when the IC was calling Westbrook better than him just a couple months ago

    I wonder if the folks going for Malone over Barkley are going strictly by the numbers though, vs actually watching them play. If Duncan didnt have all those MvPs and titles alot of you might given Malone the nod over Duncan based strictly iff stat geek ? . Alot of ? get lost in translation If you don't have the eye test. Like a REAL fan would though.

    Besides rebounding Barkely could do more effective ? on the court with the ball in his hands (the offense could literally start from his end to the other, ? Malone needed Stockton for.

    I watched both play and I'm taking Malone. The Mailman is #1 on my PF list. His lack of titles is why he's not given what I believe to be his proper respect. Gave you points, rebounds and above-average D. I don't know how many players can match his consistency either.

    Disagree with the bold. Malone is not looked at as clutch see missed shots at end of games. Getting the ball stolen by Jordan in game 6. Also most feel Malone had it easy by playing with Stockton.

    Barkley was better than Malone when both were in their prime, Malone was only better post '96... Malone had two chances at a ring, i think Barkley gets it done if he gets one more chance no matter who he's facing...

    You're making no argument for Malone over Barkley at all. You're just saying ? withiut backing it up.

    Stockton last 5 minutes vs The Rockets of Olujuwan, Barkley and Drexler in game 6 in '97. Malone fills up stat sheets, but Stockton is the clutch.

    No need to make an argument when the real heads who watched both players in their prime know who's better.
