Malone retired behind only Kareem Abdul Jabbar for most points scored in the league history and helped teammate John Stockton become the all-time leading assist man.

Similar to LeBron running down at a full head of steam, only fools and/or incredibly brave souls would dare stand in the way of Malone when he was putting the ball through the hoop. With a career average of 25 points per game and a .516 shooting percentage, The Mailman deserves a spot in this starting lineup.
