THE most UNDERRATED player in NBA history
Vincent Paulieeknow big facts
R.I.P
Totally agree! Been saying this for years
@andre silva Bill is not underrated by any means....
@andre silva Did you watch his career in 1959?
Moses is really the most underrated center of all time
I would even go as far saying Player period
Not only center he is overrall most underrated player ever, top 10 in all time scoring top 3 in all time rebound
Yvans Right? 3x MVP!
Tyler Hingleton he’s 3rd if u count aba and 4th if U don’t
@Tyler Hingleton i agree
Moses Malone was simply unstoppable in his hay day and the 1983 76ers will always be one of the greatest teams in NBA history rest in peace big fella
I CAN STILL LIST EVERY PLAYER AND HOW THEY PLAYED FROM THAT TEAM. I BELIEVE THEY WERE ON CHANNEL 68 UHF BACK THEN
I ok
Agree 💯💯 my Bruh.....
How can a 3 time MVP that is so high up in the scoring and rebounding categories be so underrated?! He deserves more recognition. Truly one of the greatest players of all time.
A lot of the 70s players get a bad rap because everyone thinks it was a weak era. Shit even Kareem kind of gets shafted by the media still.
He started playing in the 70s which was an often forgotten era in general (people forget about Bob McAdoo a lot too).
Then his championship run was sandwiched in between the era defining Bird-Magic rivalry so he kinda got lost in the shuffle when talking about the 80s. Only real ones talk about Moses.
@@TheIcemanthomas Kareem is in everyone’s top 3 or top 5, I wouldn’t worry too much.
@@TheIcemanthomas That Sixers squad was loaded too. Dr. J, Cheeks, Toney.....they were so good that everybody individually probably didn't seem as great as they were because nobody had to carry the team ever. Before that, he carried a Houston team that couldn't quite get over the hump, so like you said, he was overshadowed. If he played for Boston or LA, you'd be talking about someone recognized similarly to Shaq or Kareem.
@@TheIcemanthomasit definitely was a weak era and the game was as unpopular as it’s ever been during that time as well
Dude had the body of a bear, the lungs of a horse, and a lion's heart. A true legend of the game.
I agree sir, but what impresses me the most is his footwork. Just nimble. A 6'10 tip tap dancer
played against him in high school...it was the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen..the thing is they had 2 more guys that were really good...they played their home games at va. state college so many people wanted see him play...when we played them at our little gym lefty, john lucas and len elmore were high fiving and going crazy because he signed a letter of intent to go to maryland he was skinny as a rail but quick as a cat...
He also had hands of a mouse 😂, didn’t matter he was still the goat.
@bluesdoggmusicrediker4614
Appreciate that story Bruh! Must have really been something to watch.
John Lucas and Lenny Elmore,,, remember them well. Long time ago, but will never forget the greats of the 70's, 80's and 90's when basketball was everything and the money and bags as they call it now (Was Very Important, We All Gotta Live And Support Our Families), but it 💰 didn't determine a guys love for competition to compete and to become the best player he could....
Your comment was a good read for an "OG" on an early Sunday morning....🫶🙏▪️
At 6'10, 275 lbs with freakish athleticism & strength. best believe he would've given Shaq problems had he played in the 90s.
So underrated. Great footwork, amazing rebounding skills, and awareness is other worldly. Buddy could score like crazy too. his name needs to be brought up more when we’re talking about greatest PFs.
*Centers
*Centers
TheCrunchySopa good look always saw him as a pf for some reason
@@trejenweber4205 probably cause he's so graceful.
@@trejenweber4205
When he first started he was a PF back in the ABA. Once he came to the NBA he did not have the muscle to handle the Center position. But once he did Moses Malone was a monster under the rim.
The first to come out of high school to the pro’s.
Spencer Haywood
@Riding Solo yeah I don’t know why I said that
False
@@clarkjonathan702 than who was
If he played for Boston or LA people would talk about him in the top 5 list every day. Sickeningly underrated!
NO question.
that offensive rebounding is a thing of beauty to watch
The FIRST high-school (people often forget that) to NBA superstar phenom!! Totally dominant in his era. RIP Moses Malone
He gave Kareem that work in the post in that series
He took a mediocre Houston team to the Finals over Kareem before going to Philly.
Also charles barkley and hakeem olajuwon
Anıl Can Seriner what ?
@@yvans. moses malone educated charles barkley and hakeem olajuwon about basketball ı say it
@@fsdsdfsfsfdsfsfdsfsfsdfrfwefws Charles and Olajuwon both say that.
FO FO FO!! RIP MOSES....thank you for 1983!! Greatest offensive rebounder of ALL TIME......
1983....THE ONLY TIME I EVER SAW KAREEM OUTPLAYED IN A SERIES....THE LAKERS HAD TO GIVE HIM HELP ON D AGAINST MALONE.
You must have not watched the 86 WCF’ against Houston🤦🏽♂️
Moses owned Kareem in 1981 and 1983. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Took The Rockets and the Sixers to Finals (Won in 1983 obviously)
Man E Mr. J go rewatch the lakers from back then. Don’t do kareem like that. He was hooping. U can make an argument that atleast two of those fmvps in those 5 title runs belonged to kareem.
Don't get me wrong, Cap is still "THE🐏GOAT" period!!! But for that moment in time he was not the best...it was Moses Malone. The greatest offensive rebounder to EVER lace 'em up.
@@TheIcemanthomas
Honestly, I think Magic should have all 5. Especially 1988, as Magic was flew ken the superior player to worthy in that series. And 1985 should go to Magic as well in my opinion (but it’s close). If Kareem wouldn’t have got hurt in 1980, he’d easily be finals mvp. But Magic played center and got more points and rebounds than Kareem did in any of the other finals games and won it without him, thus deserving finals mvp. 1987 is 100% Magic’s finals mvp. Not taking anything away from Kareem, he’s a top 3 center of all time and a GOAT candidate, but if I were voting on finals MVPS, based on what I saw, and the numbers they were putting up, I would’ve voted for Magic all 5 times.
Hes the og moses cuh.
Kaaris Zongo Le Dozo come on cuuhhhh!
Nah
@M no one gives a fuck
Man was possessed on the boards. Incredible finishing too.
Dream wouldn't be the champion he is without Moses working him out during the summers
@Man E Mr. J so your logic Is he should have won in earlier? He was fresh out of college going against a monster under the basket....he was in the finals vs Celtics in 87. 🤣
@Man E Mr. J Yes. Every player has other players on their team when they win. You might want to rethink your logic when you start bringing up role players, though. If you think Cooper, Scott, Thomas (and honestly Worthy) carried Kareem to a championship.
Forever a Philly legend! Rip to the great
I never can remember anyone hard fouling Moses .....many players during that era......were knocked to the floor, hit hard ,punched etc. Moses was a beast and a feared man.
This NBA I miss. The absolute hustle, grit and heart of playas then. As for Moses, what can I say that everyone else hasn't said here. He and Rodman influenced my game when I played. Dude was a savage. RIP
Man the power on him
Moses passed the torch to Charles Barkley who was a great fill-in.
Yo Moses Malone was something different bro. We've never seen a guy as nimble and moble and elusive at the big man spot like Moses Malone. He was Charles Barkley's influence. I love the big man. Much respect to Moses Malone!
Hakeem?
UNDERRATED Obviously.
Moses was a great player & center. When Hakeem Olajuwon was a young man he'd work with Moses on his post moves & it made Hakeem not only one of the greatest big men ever but a Hall of Famer. RIP Moses....
I think Moses can take every center in a game. God bless
if you’re a born Philly Phan... u know how much this man meant to the city of Brotherly Love
Read my comment. Moses coming to philly was the biggest story in the NATION.
U can thank ur neighbor down south on I-95. The state of VA produced Him and Allen Iverson so ur welcome
There were partys when we landed moses in 1982. The first preaseason game was against boston at the garden and it felt like game 7 ( we won)
There was a meet the press type show in first week of season, and one of the press types predicted that philly wouldnt lose a playoff game on the way to the title. He was close, and what a year we had.
Moses was a beast! Wow!
His rebounding skills had a similar impact of Rodman's, but with a actual offensive repertoire to finish the play himself. Good defender as well even if he was undersided. Great and respectable player
Prime Moses put in 25-31 PPG. Along with killing it on the boards. Who else did that? Only Wilt.
Moses Malone’s by far the most underrated player in history
Big mo was dominant
THE GREATEST PURE REBOUNDER OF ALL-TIME.
Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest rebounder of all time comments be overrating malone wilt has the record for most rebounds ina game
@@patricialucero1767 Wilt = 24.5 rpg in 47 mpg for the playoffs
Russell = 24.9 rpg in 45 mpg for the playoffs
Russell delivered the rebounds when they mattered, in less minutes, compared to Wilt
Russell has Most rebounds in a quarter (19 in a nba finals game 7 quarter ) most rebounds in a half( 32)
Highest rebound average in the finals ( 29.5)
This is while guarding 1-5 sticking guards/forwards on the perimeter and switching/hedging on screens while chamberlain mostly sat around the basket (watch film of those games)
@@casualfandestroyer2503 Wilt and Bill played in a different era, they had very little competetion in thier time in the league. Moses, Dennis, Charles, Larry, Karl, Oakley, Shaq, Admiral, Mahorn, guys in the 80's and 90's, when the league had many teams with serious talent, they would have averaged the same if not more during Wilt and Bill's era.
Thats not taking anything away from Wilt and Bill, but it does factor in talent levels league wide imo.
@@doronstauber7285 The 24th pick of the 1st round today would be the final pick of the 3rd round in the 60's. Only the cream of the crop get to play in the NBA in the 60's. To cite an example, Russell would face off Wilt Chamberlain 8-9 times a season. When he is not fighting Wilt, he is fending off other Hall of Famers 8-9x again like Nate Thurmond, Jerry Lucas, Willis Reed etc. you get the drift. They have to work their butts off almost everytime.
In contrast in the 90's, Shaq only facedoff with Ewing in the East 4x and faces-off with Hakeem and Robinson in the West 2x.
Russell and Wilt dueled 142x during a ten year period. Compared that to Bird and Magic who for close to eleven years, only dueled 37x. The top players in the 60's face an opponent worthy of his abilities MORE OFTEN.

Gone way too soon ! R. I. P. Moses Malone. 🏀🏆
Love the old school big men like Malone. They were so tough and physical. Love watching them bang on the block and posting up. Today's big men play like shooting guards.
The Messiah tremendous player a great inspiration Moses, rest in peace
Yo lucky number is Fo Fi Fo (Pieces of a Dream) Rest In Paradise Mo 🏀💯
This dude was pretty much an automatic bucket in the post against anybody. What a monster.
I wish I were alive when Moses Malone was in the NBA. Hands down amongst the top 10 greatest centers in NBA history.
I'm a lifelong Celtics fan but Moses Malone was my image of a dominant center!! Rebounding and D win games!!
My favorite player. He just worked and worked.
I love '80s. Golden Age of Basketball.
Moses Malone and 76ers swept a lakers which is one the greatest teams of all time. Malone is a top 5 player of the 80s
Top 3
Moses Malone doesn't get the credit he deserves. He was a beast on the offensive boards. And he could score!
R.I.P Moses Malone. One of the best to ever do it.
ONE OF MY IDOLS
They don't make big men like this anymore i just loved the joy this man played with. Rest in Peace Moses you're fans loved you're game.
They do make bigs like this tho. Jokic and Embiid are both significantly better
@@christianryan7015 Jokic is not the rebounder or defender that Moses was and Embiid is talented and plays hard but he does not have the heart or determination as Moses had.
@@christianryan7015not on the boards.
What a BEAST!
The historians and the pundits always leave out how Moses Malone dominated Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the regular season and in the finals Moses Malone and the 76ers quit Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the finals
Yes they do. We don't. Moses didn't have Major college pedigree like Kareem. Or Walton. They give college greats extra credit. Facts.
Real special player
Folks Hakeem Olajuwon's teacher....Mr. Malone! RIP
And Charles Barkley mentor too
Before Hakeem there was Moses Malone. Awesome mentor to Hakeem and Barkley.
The best Malone in NBA History.
2nd
Moses was all hustle and grit. He wasn’t blessed with an arsenal of Hakeem like moves, but he was so effective. He thoroughly dominated Kareem in the 81 and 83 playoffs
For a big man the touch around the rim is unmatched. Damn
Soooo underrated
Moses Malone and Elgin Baylor ,2 of The most underrated players ever period
One of my favorites as a kid. My sixers were my childhood heroes back then
He is so patient and strong down below. To think he is an undersize Center listed at 6’10”?!? RIP Moses. You are the best offensive rebounder i have watched.
83 sixers, 85 bears, 2 best teams i ever saw. Didn't last but oh my god they were just something you can't explain to others. Ungodly dominant.
I loved both teams. As a Philly fan the Bears was hard working and they made sure teams wirked fir every point.
Wow this really opened my eyes. I’m starting to build my basketball knowledge and it blows me away I don’t know more about Moses. Always heard his praises from Chuck but man he was extremely skilled AND dominant. Out there dunking and tipping in shots on Kareem. And I had no idea they won the chip that year!! I love stuff like this cause it always helps shape my perspective on the history of the league
Yeah I was born in the Philadelphia area. Grew up with A.I but Moses, Dr J and Wilt are always talked about as the greatest 6ers if all time
Man's game
I PATTERNED MY WHOLE GAME AFTER MALONE. WORK HARD LOW IN THE PAINT. THE CHANT OF BEAT LA IN BOSTON WAS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS YOU NEVER FORGET
The most underrated center & player of all time. Easily in my top 20
Awesome top 20 all-time
Easily a top 5 center of all-time! RIP MOSES!
Don't know about that, definitely top ten tho
@@hairjordan2620 1.Kareem
2. Bill Russell
3.Wilt
4.Shaq
5.Hakeem

7.David Robinson
He’s just Outside the Top 5 he’s Definitely #6 though, Legend.
@@dsavage6618 wheres jokic
1983 sixers best team of all time
Merry Christmas,moses..i am and will always big a huge fan.. athletic and what??? Malone... semper fi
Top 5 center off all time
They just now showing off his greatness ig better now than never.
This was the year the NBA won me as a fan ..i was 12 growing up in Baltimore
Definition of a real Rebounding Wing 💯
People say Hakeem is the most underrated dude who’s ever played in the NBA. Nah it’s definitely the dude Moses
"Offensive rebounding is an easy way to sco!" And man, did he rebound and sco! And that fo-fi-fo sure run, in '83, sure "got the summer going!"
I’ve never heard anybody in the NBA say they love offensive rebounding. That mindset alone tells you why he’s one of the best. Man is criminally underrated
Thank you for this vid showing the true essence of one of the "Most Dominant Biggs" to ever lace'em up❗️
They had another guy on youtube who created a vid on Malone titling it about his greatness, and the guy just about throughout the whole vid talked about his faults and so-called deficiencies which (NO ONE'S PERFECT) and we all have, so thanks for giving us great video footage of the Real *Chairman Of The Boards* as he was so fittingly called, back in the day....
Moses Malone was a Beast...........at 6" 10 he was not a tall center, but damn, he out muscled, out worked an outplayed centers he faced. Kareem had no answer for him in the 83 Finals, granted by this time Kareem was no spring chicken.
Nothing pretty about Moses’s game, but man was he ever a beast 💪
You will never see a center be able to move like Moses Malone did on the court! The speed, the footwork and the finishing for a man that is a 6 ft 10 beast was astonishing.
The most important part was his ♥. The will and passion in which he played.
Un gran jugador otro de mis favoritos acuerdense de mi soy fan de estos maravillosos sixers de billy cuningham y dr j
This will always be my dream team.aug2020.
My cousin! RIP
"Time to go to work" Big Mo
Include his 2 yrs of ABA stats and he's #3 for rebounds after Wilt and Russ.
Embiid needs to watch Moses's highlights every god damn day.
BRAH!!!! DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS THAT DOMINANT
Petersburg native represent two up two down
My fave player ever
Crazy underrated guy. He pretty much taught young Hakeem how to play…
R.i.p. legend
Ladies and Gentlemen, a Superstar.
With his style of playing he could easily be dominant also in today’s game!
Best player ever my man mo said fo fo fo
Chase Hovagimyan fo five fo! 😂😂😂😂😂
He was like a Montreal Goalie scoring a Goal; Bob Lanier lifted him from a Perfect Series Run and Flagrantly Fouled him en route to a Slam-dunk! The only NBA Post-Season game 76ers lost in Spring 1983!
You can tell Hakeem was mentored by him. Game is so similar. HOF'ers.
RIP Moses Malone
That was him there in the 1980s.
04-26-19.
Yeah, one of my favorite players! He was unstoppable in 82-83.
He was unstoppable in Houston too. He just didn't have enough help around him.
Yes indeed!
Moses Malone was straight out of high school into the NBA he was unstoppable on the offensive and defensive boards and also in the low post. This is the only NBA player that I know who dominated Kareem Abdul Jabbar in the low post.
You Can Hear Him on the Pieces of Dream Song "454" May He R.I.P.
Moses was just better than any center in the early to mid 80’s
Late 70s to mid 80s.
Big Mo! I miss u, bruh!
