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

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!

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

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 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🏀🏆

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

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.

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.
