Some fans asked me to talk about whether Malone is better than Duncan when putting aside personal honors, and is the largest power forward in NBA history. This topic will indeed be more sharp. After all, it will offend Duncan fans or Malone fans. I still have to express my own views on this issue.

First of all, let's talk about data and technology. Malone's personal average per game in his career was 25+10.1+3.2, with a total historical score of 36,928 points. Duncan's career data was 19+10.8+3, with a total historical score of 26,496 points. Malone's skills are also mentioned. He is good at central investment. It can be said that he has the best Chinese investment skills, his body is very strong and he is very durable, and he has always maintained efficient output in scoring. Duncan is a player who can attack and defend, with very solid skills and a player with a big heart level. In terms of playoffs, Karl Malone's performance was not as good as the regular season, especially in the finals. It can be said that he was not responsible. Duncan's performance in the playoffs was very stable, and he served as the team's defensive system in the finals many times, showing his strong dominance. Regarding the team's influence, the double evil combination formed by Karl Malone and Stockton has entered the finals but has not won the championship. As for Duncan, not only the team's tactical core, but also led the Spurs to win 5 championships, and is a core figure in the Spurs system.

Through the above understanding, we will give the two people some positive evaluations. Ma Long's personal data is indeed very excellent and his offensive ability is also extremely strong. Obviously, the disadvantage is that he has no stable performance in the playoffs. Although Duncan is indeed inferior to Kal Malone in some personal data, he has more advantages in the team's stability and influence. In the playoffs and finals, Duncan still performs very stably, becoming the cornerstone of the team's championship.

So finally, let me talk about my opinion. Malone does have a great advantage on the offensive end, but Duncan's stability and defensive ability have a great advantage. It can be said that if the two really want to compare, Duncan is still the league's number one power forward. After all, Duncan is what every team needs in terms of team role and influence. Having said that, both of them are top NBA power forwards, and both have shown their value and performance, paying tribute to the two great players.
