A lockout shortened season, and he was playing on one bad leg.
Didn’t even play in the finals because he was hurt.
Missed most of the season prior to the lockout with a broken hand.
He was already breaking down.

Yes, he got hurt. They would have won the title if he didn't. It's asinine to say that someone who was indispensable to a conference championship should have retired two years before that.

@tera9, who is the other?

Knowing what we know now??? Fuck Malone. Dude was a shit bag and IMO overrated. I think he had talent, I also think he playing in a system that inflated his numbers. Ewing drug a bunch of marginally talented grinders as far as he could. Who on any of those good Knick teams actually showed up in the playoffs to help??? Derek Harper??? John Starks??? Mase??? Oak??? Let's face it, for as good as those Knick teams were... It was really just Pat and the gang winning in the regular season. Just like Rose and Bulls.(I'm a Bulls fan)

There’s very few 7 footer who stayed in shape late in their careers
