Day after day stability is recognized! Kal Malone just lost to Jordan!

Many players missed a lot of honors due to Jordan's existence. Kal Malone is one of them. Although his diligence was finally recognized, he still cannot truly become a god. This issue will trace back many years ago the NBA to learn about it.

In fact, Karl Malone had reached its peak as early as the late 1980s. He averaged 25+10 per game for 11 consecutive seasons since the 1987-88 season. However, due to the team's record and the existence of other superstars, he has always missed the MVP award. In fact, even the Jazz's record in the 1996-97 season was inferior to the Bulls, and the record occupies a large or even the highest proportion of MVP selection.

Therefore, when Kal Malone had no obvious advantage in data, he would not have won the MVP, but this time, Kal Malone defeated Jordan with a weak vote rate and won the MVP. Such a result is largely because Kal Malone's stable contribution has been consistent for ten years and has been more recognized and respected by voters. In addition, it is reasonable to become an MVP in the league. No matter what, Malone finally defeated Jordan this time.

Of course, Karl Malone's data is not inferior to Jordan, and from the high-level data, he is even in a small-scale situation compared to Jordan: Karl Malone's net efficiency has reached 13.8 this season, which means that when Malone is on the court, the team can win the opponent by as much as 13.8 points per 100 rounds. This net efficiency ranks fourth among the core teams who average more than 30 minutes per game in the league. The basic and advanced data are excellent, and the record of the second in the league also helped him win the MVP and also selected the best team first team and the best defensive team first defense, achieving multiple honors in a single season.

Many people will have a strong impression of Malone's strong body. In fact, this is true. Karl Malone's final shooting percentage at the basket this season reached 67.7%. The shooting percentage at this basket is the highest among the players who average more than 5 layups per game in the league. This means that Malone has both output and efficiency in the basket area. His scoring threat is very strong in this range, but at the same time, Malone is not just a finisher at the basket.

Marone's mid-range shots account for the highest proportion in each area, which means that the one who uses the most in his personal offensive choices is a mid-range shot. Combined with the shooting percentage of the three-second zone in the non-bassile area, he has the threat of scoring in all areas within the three-point line, which can indicate that he is a player with no offensive corners in the three-point line.

If you only compare the offensive ability at mid-range, then Karl Malone's average of 9.5 mid-range shots per game are ranked fifth in the league, and his 45.2% mid-range shot shooting percentage is also ranked fifth among the 10 players with the most mid-range shots. This means that even mid-range attack Malone is at the top level of output and efficiency. Although he cannot compare with Jordan, he also surpasses most players.

Karl Malone led the Jazz out of the Western Conference Finals to face Jordan, and Malone also exposed the problem of his inability to truly become a god. As the Jazz's offensive core, Malone's real hit rate in the fourth quarter and critical moments showed a significant decline in the first quarter and third quarter, which means that when the game was finalized, Malone could not bear more firepower and would also experience a decline in scoring efficiency. He could not take over the game and lead the Jazz to victory, and his teammates, neither Stockton nor Hornersek, belonged to such players, which affected the team's upper limit.

Secondly, Malone's mentality is also a problem that affects his achievements. There was an interesting scene in this season's finals: Pippen's sentence "The postman does not go to work on Sunday" led to Malone, who hit 75% of the free throws in the season, losing both shots and being defeated by Jordan, and Malone's unstable state in the six finals of the finals also led to him not being able to truly become a god.
