Hey its the ESPN DAILY SHOW OF HIGHSCHOOL LOL
Awesome podcast!!!
You are lost...Got to see him play in person and he was aw
3 Mvps 0ne championship and made it to the finals twice. Came straight out of High school.WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Moses out worked every one he played against. I loved his game. Everybody i know loved his game.He was dangerous dangerous. They swept the Lakers. Thats how good he was. I gurantee u. Ppl did not want to play against him. And he made other players better. Ask Barkely 😂
I got his autograph when he played for the Spirits of St Louis team (1976).
I call Moses Mr Traveling Man If anyone watched him play will know 3 head fakes no dribbles He’d get from near the FT line to under the basket Layup 😂😂
Moses! One of the all-time greats. As a young baller in the early 80's, I pattern my game after him. What a fantastic player, thanks for creating and posting this
Moses's fundamentals would have been 1,000% better if he had went to college.
AND DOINT FORGET NATE THURMOND OF THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
MOSES WAS SIMPLY A FABULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS PLAYER PERIOD HE WOULD SIMPLY DOMINATE TODAYS PLAYERS TODAY AND AND ANOTHER SIMPLY FABULOUS PLAYER WAS DAVE COWENS OF THE CELTICS MOSES MALONE AND DAVE COWENS I WOULD TAKE THEM 2 OVER ANY PLAYER TODAY
And Your "Theory" is just an Opinion when in reality you haven't got a clue like the rest of us.
Too much time spent on Malone's deficiencies unfortunately as you seem bright. Quick feet isn't a God Given Gift, he's considered by most all NBA LEGENDS that Moses was easily one of the hardest working students of the game during his tenure. Father told me about him long ago and was in total awe of his stats then watching him play youngest kid ever first from high-school straight to mean Streets of ABA real ball. Yeah dude probably went through hell everyday punishin his body for how much MOSES himself LOVED THE GAME!
If he brought Philly their championship, then why did they sell him or trade him away?
First of all not know your age nor the Era you represent BUT not only did he teach, Barkley. Akeem the dream and yes Kobe Bean Bryant actually was tutored by yup you guessed it....MOSES MALONE,.furthermore back in the day centers didn't have set plays weren't drawn for centers so they were told to eat off the board so these dudes these days shooting 3 pointers Embiid. The dude from Milwaukee, etc those guys have no heart and a person like Shaq, the dream, and true centers before this mockery that they are calling professional basketball in this L.James Era it is totally a disgrace
Younger kids do not study the game
Unfortunately, he fails the eye test. In a league where flash counts more than substance sometimes, players like him get slept on a lot.
Moses was a monster
He was like a better, right-handed Z-Bo (minus the jumpshot)
my favorite Center of all time
Great video man.
Moses was not a tall starting center only 6 ft. 10. only 2 other guys in his era was shorter Wes Unseld at 6ft. 7 in., and Dan Issel at 6 ft. 9 in.
Excellent Episode 👍 I acknowledge Moses awards and the 83 Philly Title. But I don't put his overall game in the same category as Bellamy, Thurmond,Reed, Unseld,& Beatty🏀🏆
Each player played the center position their way...I remember Moses in the ABA..he was raw put had great speed...rest in peace to all players mentioned..peace 😊
Been watching the NBA for almost 60yrs,Moses is easily the best offensive rebounder I've ever seen, And that 82 -83 finals against the Lakers,They simply had no answer for Moses!
best BIG MAN ever ...Dem Boards Controller ...
RIP Moses Malone ❤️
Stop listening to idiots Moses was best in 80s he proved that
I have never before seen a video on the greatness of a player be more about how he wasnt great, but i still enjoyed it and the fact he was noted as a true great despite all the many, many things you pointed out he was not good at...lol
Im abig fan of moses he was my favorite player because they couldn't stop him
Moses Malone's greatest gift beyond his quick feet was his will to compete and hard work. Moses played hard every night. Yes he had gifts but his shear will power and effort was his greatest attribute. One of my favorite players due to how hard he played
Our Savior had arrived!!!!!!!!!
MOSES MALONE .. 1 OF THE 15 GREATEST PLAYERS IN NBA 🏀 HISTORY ..
Great bio and clips!
It’s crazy how underrated Moses is! The man had an amazing prime, won 3 MVP’s, was the best player on a championship team, actually led another team - that had no business being there - to the Finals, was a pro from 1974 til 1995, 8x All-NBA, 2x All-Defensive, 13x All-Star, as of right now he’s 10th all-time in points in NBA history and 5th in rebounds, he played in a very competitive era!… and time and time again he’s not mentioned amongst the 15 greatest players ever. C’mon now……..
After the Sixers lost the 1982 World Championship to the Los Angeles Lakers, Owner Harold Katz had enough! First he dumped "Chocolate Thunder" to New Jersey for a First Round pick and cash, then traded Caldwell Jones to Houston for Moses Malone and a First Round pick.
The Main Ingredient to the Philadelphia 76'ers 1983 World Championship.
I had the good fortune to watch Moses Malone playing a high school game at Petersburg High School in 1972 when I was stationed at Fort Lee, VA. which is located on the outskirts of Petersburg. He was somewhat of a thin player then but was already being scouted by various universities. Many of those scouts and I were the only white people at the game at the Petersburg Gym and thoroughly enjoyed it. What struck me about the tall skinny center I was watching was what a tenacious rebounder he was. I was definitely pulling for the 76ers in their quest for the NBA title against the Lakers even though the Lakers had one of my favorite Tar Heels James Worthy whose injury prevented him from playing against the Sixers who swept the Lakers in four games. The Sixers also had two Tar Heel with them as well. Their coach was the Hall of Famer "Kanagroo Kid" Billy Cuningham and their 6th man off the bench was Hall of Famer and probably one of the greatest defensive players ever Bobby Jones and won the first ever "Sixth Man Award." Jones was the consummate teammate and was such a dedicated Christian that his teammates would not swear when he was in their presence. He was such a thoughtful and kind man that Charles Barkley a former rookie teammate on the Sixers squad remarked that "If everyone in the world was like Bobby Jones, the world wouldn’t have any problems."
That’s so great to hear that. My family is from Petersburg, VA and my cousin , Morris Fultz was Moses’ teammate on Petersburg High’s Crimson Wave team in which they won back to back state championships. My Uncle used to drive a taxi and would pick up Moses’ mother Mary, every week to take her to the Safeway Market. Every summer I would spend my summers in Petersburg and I’d hear all the stories about Moses.
Its nice to see a video done on someone different
