Power Forward - Karl Malone (Utah Jazz)
Nicknamed "The Mailman" for his ability to deliver without fail, Karl Malone is arguably the greatest power forward that ever played. He broke numerous records during his illustrious career and formed one of the most formidable duos in the league with John Stockton. The duo led Utah to a playoff berth in each and every season they played together. Unfortunately, this never translated into a title.
Malone reached the Conference Finals on three occasions and the NBA Finals twice in the 90s but was not able to capture a title. In 1999 once Michael Jordan retired, many thought that Utah might finally capture a title the following year but they lost to Portland in the second round.
Although he never got a ring, Malone's personal achievements won't be matched by many. He was named in every All-Star game that took place in the decade (1999 All-Star game was canceled). He was also named All-NBA first team in all ten years of the decade. Added to this, he was named the league's MVP in both 1997 and 1999.
Malone finished his career as the second highest scorer in NBA history with 36,928 points. He also holds the record for the most number of free throws attempted and made. He also is tied with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James for the most number of All-NBA elections with thirteen.
