This is a 39 yr old Malone. I think he became grandfather that season or the following. His longevity was something else. And that series in 04 he had games with 30, 20. And guarding Yao, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett. All on their prime.
Can't believe the officiating, 2 guys are all over Malone trying to steal the ball he protects it and tries to keep it away and gets called for the foul. SMH.
@@macnificent4 Never would have happened if he wasn't invading his space. You did see that. Only people who are new to the NBA think you should not try to defend the ball. In today's game at the very beginning when the guy jumped on Malone while he was on the ground would have been called for a foul, not a jump ball. Times were different, it was a man's game then. Watch how Shaq used to back people down in the paint. Never happen in today's game. 😜😜
Seeing Karl Malone and Gary Payton for that matter in those lakers jerseys still and will never feel right.
love how they shifted the focus away from Malone to Van Gundy holding on to tall black men's leg like a koala bear.
A koala is not a bear.
Malone was in great shape @ 40.. look @ him outrunning Nachbar @ 2:42.
Freak athlete
Outrunning? Are you blind? Both were chasing ball first and Malone's direction is towards the rim while Nacbar was middle courtside.
Love this aggressiveness in the NBA, it's no more

Dude was huge. Imagine getting an elbow from him, it’s over.
*40 turning 41
40, yup! That's why he is considered better than Barkley because of his longevity.
Rockets and Lakers has to be the greatest Western Conference rivalry
Karl Malone invented the unnecessary flop. There’s no way most people could knock him down like they used to.
Dennis Rodman always said Karl Malone was the dirtiest player he ever played against and there’s his proof
I love watching bball vault classic NBA basketball on RUclips 🏀🏀🏀🏀👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯 A+

*Doc River contradict himself.*
As a Rockets fan Yao was so frustrating to watch sometimes..
Yeah so talented he was just too nice of a person to be ultra aggressive.
back when nba is game of a man , now its a gameboy
Refs give out free points in the NBA like its going out of style.
Malone not need to touch referee or will get technical
If Karl Malone were healthy, The 2003-04 Lakers would’ve won it all!
Little kid lover Malone!
Malone lol tool
Karl lost it when his ma died
Era un hijo de su samaba vich
dirtiest player on and off the court.
Off the court?🤔
