KG All Day... Better skills... Better Defender... Champion...
I don't like Malone but KG's championship shouldn't be the deciding factor. KG wasn't the Finals MVP and Malone had to go against Jordan to try to win a championship.
That's why I put champion last... It's not the deciding factor... but it's definitely the icing on the cake or the cherry on top...
The deciding factor for me is... who was the more SKILLED basketball player... and there's NO DENYING that KG is the more skilled player...
Usps
I hate Rogaine, even though he played on my team for a couple of seconds.
I have to abstain, because I'd vote for KG, just because

KG has more skill than Mailman but he wasn't a better player. I hate Karl Malone just as much as anybody else but that asshole was extremely productive and extremely consistent for nearly 2 decades. Malone was 25 and 10 with a 50+ fg% for 19 seasons. This shit ain't even close homie

I've always been one who puts a premium on skills... and defense... Now, there's no question to who was more productive... BUT... The difference for me is... KG can a game on the DEFENSIVE END... That's something that Malone's 25 and 10 can't do... not to mention... KG can give you 20 and 10 on any given night..
Malone offense
Garnett defense
Garnett defense
Karl NEEDED Stockton. KG has the ability to create his own shot. Malone was a pick and pop player with John Stockton playing the mad scientist to Malone's Frankenstein.
KG takes this one, he makes players better. Karl needed a player to make him better. Take away Stockton from Malones career and he's Shawn Kemp.

Karl was the better offensive player.
Kevin was better defensively
KG better both on defense and Offense. What would Malone's offense be without a genius pick and roll pg?
Twenty foot Fallaway jumpers are not creating your own shot, sorry fellas
Chicago >
Actually that IS creating your own shot. The problem is when it's your 1 and only move you can create on your own, you become one dimensional. Not to mention a 20 fadeaway is a low percentage shot to begin with.
This makes absolutely no sense
Magic only really played until he was 31.
You do realize that Malone is the second leading scorer of all time, right
When John Stockton had surgery and missed a good portion of two years, Rogaine's game didn't slip at all

See this is what I mean. Niggas is sleepin' on Stockton. In his first year as a starter he broke the single season assist record. He also has 5 of the top 6 assist seasons in NBA history. He actually broke the all-time assist record 2 months earlier than Magic did it at the time he broke it.
Stockton missed 22 games in his entire 20 year career. He's been the picture of health for his entire career. Surely 22 games in 20 years isn't a significant enough amount of time to gauge if Karl could've been just as great without Stockton.
Shooting a fallaway jumpshot requires ZERO creativity, anyone can take that shot. Takes no imagination at all to fade away from the cat trying to block you
Not everyone can make it and for a big man it is a terrible choice of shots that only losers take (unless they constantly get bailed out by the refs). You're
the biggest mofo on the court, the object should be to get closer to the basket, not further away from it...like Malone did in his prime
I'm not referring creativity per se.
You're confusing creativity in and of itself with the ability of a player to get the ball in his hands and create his own shot as opposed to who plays off the ball and waits for the defender to leave them open to knockdown a jumper or lay-up/dunk.
There are two kinds of players in basketball regardless of size and/or skill position. There are those that can create their own shots and there are the rest that depend on their teammates to get them the ball in the right spot at the right time. Karl Malone clearly belongs in the latter group.
Kareem is perhaps the least creative player of all time. You knew exactly what he was going to do, but because he could create his own shot and it couldn't be stopped he ended up the all time leader in points scored. All the while being the most unimaginative player of all time.
no you take away stockton and malone is kg on offense ahem u forget the years in minn and kg never won a playoff series till he got to boston if i'm not correct if so they were few and far between until he got with rondo dude aint win shit malone's offense was better than kg's.i'm actually a fan of both both malone gets the nod
How is Malone going to score without Stockton? Are you giving it to Malone on the block and asking him to make a play? Good luck. Malone had 1 move which was a fallaway jumper over the same shoulder. KG (like Tim Duncan) has a back-to-the-basket post game that can generate offense for the entire team. KG may have not had early playoff success but that's is likely because the T-Wolves have possibly the worst management in NBA history (who drafts 2 point guards in the same lottery and not trade 1?). When actually got him some decent help he wins the MVP.
KG ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
malone was ass.
he owes his life to stockon.
