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.

    3-5 scorer ever is a stretch but Malone was a efficient scorer too but had huge playoff dropoffs. I feel like Stockton gets overrated which makes Malone seem less valuable than he was

      Top 3-5 isn’t a stretch when you consider his volume, efficiency, and versatility.

      I will give the pedo credit on carrying overrated ass Stockton though.

        Steph, Lebron, Michael, Durant, Shaq is already 5 id put ahead.

        Malone (90-97) 27-11-4 on 59% TS

        Dirk (05-11) 25-9-3 on 59% TS

          Steph? I can’t see that.

          Malone (90-97) 27-11-4 on 59% TS
          Dirk (05-11) 25-9-3 on 59% TS

          You’re going to have to adjust those numbers for pace and relative efficiency. Also Dirk after 2008 completely changed as a player. Using his 2005-2007 playoff numbers is very misinformed.

            Curry (2014-2023): 26.9 ppg on 116 TS+

            • Playoffs: 27.0 ppg on 61 TS (we don’t have relative stats)

            • Peak season 30.1 ppg (scoring champion) on 124 TS+

            • 2x scoring title

            Dirk (2002-2012): 24.1 ppg on 109 TS+

            • Playoffs 26.2 ppg on 58 TS

            • Peak season: 24.6 ppg on 112 TS+

            • 0x scoring title

            How can you see anything other than Steph > Dirk?
