Who scored the most points in the 90's….oh wait it was Malone. Yes Malone he is the ONLY player in the NBA to score more points than Jordan in the 90's so your "weak link" was the best scorer in the 90's
Point guards typically won’t win championships. I only know 3. Jason Kidd, Magic was a hybrid that can play center, Steph is more of a shooting guard. Isaiah was a point but played shooting guard.
His foul shot ritual was way too drawn out & emotional. I bet if he just stepped up to the line and shot he'd have a much higher free throw percentage.
Isaiah always trying to be different,, I was a Utah fan but I thought Greg Ostertag was something they needed to upgrade on that backcourt was old-school and worked with Jeff and John
Isiah just attacking everyone he hates lately. If Malone is a liability because of free throws then so is lebron. Malone is a better free throw shoot than lebron. Makes no sense. They lost because they ran into Mike and the bulls and Hakeem and the rockets
so true the mailman delivers but choked! you got to keep in mind when you’re a hater you don’t get your way everybody hated the Chicago Bulls and they knew they didn’t want to see the mailman! well the way Isaiah he hated Malone because he didn’t beat Michael Jordan. Isaiah president of the union he was hated by many
This guy is the biggest grudge holder in sports. He still salty Malone bust him open. He wants everyone to believe that Malone making foul shots would've been the difference against the Bulls. BS they got beat by them twice and his free throw shooting was never brought into question both years. The Bulls were just a better team. Plus they had Rodman on him, he shut him down basically . In 97 he had 1 big game out of six he scored 37 in game 3. In 98 he had two game 6 he had 39 game 7 he had 31 . This is Jazz's leading scorer two finals appearances 12 games and he only has 3 good games. You have to remember Malone damn near average 25 a gm and Rodman actually kept him below that most games. Check the stats. The Bulls defense was the biggest factor.
Karl Malone was NOT a good enough scorer in the Playoffs to justify his extraordinarily High Usage Rate. If anything Stockton was the weak link for not being an adequate scoring threat against opposing team.
MJ was there… that’s it. Don’t try and tarnish Jordan’s greatness on this guys ft%… Jordan would’ve stopped them all. Playoff Jordan is the greatest basketball specimen in modern nba history
If you watch the original video it's funny because it seems EJ is maybe annoyed at his analysis because he brings up Malone's FT%. So yeah he's like, yeah alright…😂
Ehh weak argument I think. Shaq couldn't shoot free throws and won 4 championships. You can always look back through a course of a game and think or say "if we would have made a few more shots or a few more free throws, we would have won." A lot of teams can say that after losing close games. To say it's all on Malone is hog wash because he was so dominant and Utah wouldn't have gotten that far without him in the first place
What's crazy is he had a very reliable mid range, which is essentially the same distance as a free throw. The only difference is you have to think about a free throw, and the pressure is on the line.
1998 was the Jazz best chance of winning a NBA championship, Pacers were about to beat Bulls in game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals, Pacers took there foot of the gas pedal, I think they were told not to win that game. Pacers vs Jazz in the 1998 NBA Finals, who would have won, I'm pretty sure T.V Ratings would have been low.
So by this logic: Shaq was the weakest link because he’s not a good foul shooter!? Man IT. Why are you always wrong? Think about those words… one of the greatest PFs ever was the weakest link.
Malone was a good free throw shooter: 74.2% in the regular season and 73.6% in the playoffs. Shaquille O’Neil and Wilt Chamberlain were a huge liability at the foul line.

Malone was probably too busy looking at the 14 year old girls in the front row seats.
Nonsensical. Malone was the majority of Utah's offense. Weak link? WTF !!! Malone wasn't even that bad at free throws. Isiah is a hater

Damn Malone having 14 years old girl knocked up

Mr. OOC would have loved that angle
I love isiah but i dont know how he thinks he is better than pippen
Isaiah always trying to be different,, I was a Utah fan but I thought Greg Ostertag was something they needed to upgrade on that backcourt was old-school and worked with Jeff and John
This dude is a jealous fool , always got Michael jordan in mind . Jordan got a condo in his head
Shaquille was not good at FT and won
So is LeBron a weak link too? Does zeke realize he barely shoots a better percentage than malone?
Isiah just attacking everyone he hates lately. If Malone is a liability because of free throws then so is lebron. Malone is a better free throw shoot than lebron. Makes no sense. They lost because they ran into Mike and the bulls and Hakeem and the rockets
Malone didn't make them not win. MJ did
so true the mailman delivers but choked! you got to keep in mind when you’re a hater you don’t get your way everybody hated the Chicago Bulls and they knew they didn’t want to see the mailman! well the way Isaiah he hated Malone because he didn’t beat Michael Jordan.

Man Zeek first off a PHENOMENAL point guard but he’s so salty he knows damn well they weren’t gonna be Chicago.
Hard to say because Malone carried the team on his back. He was they're toughness. Shaq won 4 and Malone was a better free throw shooter.
Peace 6'11 McHale: Duncan 6'11 were better and more CLUTCH than K. Malone 6'9 center B. Russell 6'9 would shut Malone down😮 🏀📗✌️
Zeke just speak nonsense
Shaq sucks
He called Malone the weak link and he wasn't even malicious

He’s probably right, but it’s a double edged sword because they don’t get there without him either.

I assume that he thinks that Lebron is the weak link in all his teams.
MJ was there… that’s it. Don’t try and tarnish Jordan’s greatness on this guys ft%… Jordan would’ve stopped them all. Playoff Jordan is the greatest basketball specimen in modern nba history

Him being they main source of offense is also the reason why
Isiah Thomas (75.9%) wasn't much better than Karl Malone (74.2%) at making free throws.
What's crazy is he had a very reliable mid range, which is essentially the same distance as a free throw. The only difference is you have to think about a free throw, and the pressure is on the line.
Half truths… but without Malone they wouldn’t have made it as far.
Isaiah respected Stockton, but has never liked Malone when he gave him stitches.
1998 was the Jazz best chance of winning a NBA championship, Pacers were about to beat Bulls in game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals, Pacers took there foot of the gas pedal, I think they were told not to win that game.

Zeek still salty bout them stitches Karl gave him with that elbow

"The Mailman" couldn't deliver a freethrow?😮 What about SHAQ????😅
mailman is a CHAMPION in my eyes, one of the best power forwards ever.
