Malone wasn't an all time great defender but he was very good. Certainly better than Barkley and Dirk.
Malone was a decent defender, but not bad to the degree Barkley and Dirk were for most of theres.

its the truth. I dont care what this bitter old cornball brother has to say about anything in life.What the hell does any of that have to do with basketball![]()
Barkley was 6'5, 6'6 going against guys 6'9 and 6'10, realistically what kind of D was yall expecting him to play.
Lol
Barkley and Dirk played ZERO d.
Barkley was a freak of nature..
You will NEVER see a player like him again..
Barkley was monster do not get it twisted..
Nobody is saying otherwise. People are just pointing out that he played little to no defense throughout his career.
I hold that shyt against Shaq too. Dude was the most dominant force the league has seen since Wilt but play little to no defense.
Shaq and Barkley were scorers first. fukk that defense shyt![]()

dude shut up
Rodman was 6'7" and 215 lbs and was guarding point guards and guys much bigger than him. Barkley gave NO effort on defense and was proud about that.
He could have been a decent defender too considering his athleticism, long ass arms, and strength but chose not too. Stoping.
Rodman was a freak, and he was still 2-3 inches taller than barkley, and made his name solely based on his D. But your right Barkley could've given more effort *shrugs*
I'm so glad Karl Malone said this..
I've been sayin this shyt for years!!
Tim Duncan is a CENTER..
![]()
Duncan was never a PF. He played PF because they already had David Robinson. He's still the best Center I have seen outside of Hakeem
YES i'd pick prime Duncan over prime Shaq every day of the week, 3 times a day. Double that on sunday![]()
I dapped you for the bolded
I don't know about him over Shaq tho dog..
Shaq was devastating..
