I’m curious here too. Where do you guys rank these three PFs? You can take it any way you want to. Best player, Most likely to win, most dominant… whatever. Just let me know how you rank these three players.

Funny you mention Dirk being a top 3-5 scorer in NBA history as a reason to rank him over Karl too.
Malone never won a scoring title but finished runner up 5 times. (Finished 3rd three times, 4th twice and 5th three times).As a point of reference that’s 13 seasons in the top 5 for PPG, Dirk Nowitzki finished top 5 for PPG once.
Malone top 5 in PPG 13x. Dirk top 5 in PPG 2x.
Nowitzki’s best scoring season (26.6PPG in 2005-06) would be Malone’s 10th highest scoring season!
Malone, 27.0+ PPG, 8x. Dirk, 27.0+ PPG, 0x.
It’s always Utah fans who use raw ppg especially only in the regular season without any context of efficiency to boost either their pedophile or overrated anti vaxxer.
Dirk from 2009-2011 in the playoffs: 29 points per 75 on + 8 relative TS%
Malone from 1991-1993 in the playoffs(his best playoff scoring stretch): 26 points per 75 on + 4 relative TS%.
These stats don’t also mention how Dirk was a FAR more versatile scorer than malone. This allowed Dirk to maintain his efficiency against elite defenses while the Pedo couldn’t.
