Arguably one of the top power fowards ever. It would be an outrage not to do so.

I think he wasn't even in the League, when they were picking 50 best.

I'm fairly certain that they picked the 50 Best in 1996, to commemorate the league's 50th Anniversary.

Considering Karl Malone barely missed a day of play for something like 20 years, I sincerely doubt he wasn't in the league when they picked them.

Oh, NOW I get it. I thought we were talking about KG :oops: (I was jumping between the 'KG is overrated' thread and this one.)

KG was drafted in 1995 though. So he was there.

And what about Adrian Dantley? Just retire his number already.

About time, though his flirtation with the Spurs last year obviously held up proceedings a bit. A well-deserved honour for the Mailman. (Y)
