Barkley vs. Malone is a legit debate. Duncan is by far better than both of them.
Malone stayed in shape and got better in the mid 90's while Barkley partied and didn't stay in the shape. Barkley was better from 1985-93 and then Malone stayed close to his prime if not better while Barkley fell down.

1993 Phoenix Suns should have won the NBA title. They went 0-3 at home in the Finals. Go and watch the last 2 minutes of Game 6 it is probably the most underrated or forgotten choke of alltime.

Utah filled a void of the West being down. Utah's best players got closer to a title when they were older and not in the primes. That tells you the rest of the conference wasn't good enough. Utah 1992 team that lost in the WCF to Portland was a better team than the 1997 or 1998 teams that reached the Finals. Because Malone and Stockton were 5 years younger.

I would take Barkley over Malone in their primes but Malone's resume from 1994 thru 2004 makes him the player with the better resume.
