Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan0307, post: 1795654, member: 1743"] I just can't put Barkley or Malone in the top 20. Barkley's Philly teams were awful. He didn't make the guys around him better once Julius retired and Moses left and, you can say the same for Malone. His early teams were weak. I'd say Stockton was more important to those Jazz than Malone was. Malone to me is basketball's version of a compiler. He had great stats, that's it. It's easy to forget now that he's a shell of himself, but Pierce carried those Celtic teams early in his career and was still the go to guy when they got Allen and Garnett. His performance's against Lebron in the playoffs in the late Oughts were amazing, and the Celtics destroyed a Laker team in the finals once and were a few possessions away from winning twice. That alone is good enough for me. [/QUOTE]
