Karl Malone was in the zone as he scored a playoff career high 50 points to go along with 12 rebounds. He simply couldnt miss as he hit from all over the floor (even a triple). The Jazz won game 1 on day 1 of the 2000 Playoffs over Gary Payton and the Sonics.
Watching this game again, I was reminded that Karl Malone had such great stamina and conditioning for a 36 year old man. He was sprinting down the floor, soaring up high for blocks and diving for loose balls. His resilience so late in his career is why the Jazz still consistently made the playoffs. Truly a great player and some people seem to forget that.
More Mailman to come... - Sport
Malone-Stockton were the best duo in NBA history to me. So many points scored and assists made off each other
They are definitely Top 10 in history, but not the best
My boys should've won a ring. This was my team!! I love those boys.
He is so old and still scoring damn no wonder he is 2nd in points...
I'm a die hard fan of The Mailman!
Yes, you're right, Malone held the record until Jordan broke it. Malone was the oldest to score 50, and 40 until Jordan scored 50 and 40. But Malone still holds record for oldest player in a playoff game to score 50 and oldest in a playoff game to score 30.
Oldest to win the MVP too. At 33 in 97 then at 35 in 99.
I remember this game, crazy it's been 19 years.
Yes, at the time Karl Malone was the oldest player ever to score 50 in a game until Michael Jordan scored 50 after the Mailman in a regular season game so Karl Malone still holds the record for oldest player to score 50 in a playoff game.
Best PF EVER!
No doubt
Tim Duncan never played Michael Jordan in the Finals, and he started declining in 2006, while Malone consistently averaged 20+ points throughout his career
u mean the best rapist ever !! should be behind bars

EXACTLY. Duncan fanboys dont know shit. the PF that comes close is Barkley but was only a subpar defender
He was so great...I really wanted Stockton and he could get the NBA Champion...
I remember this game like it was yesterday. Mailman was never a 3 point shooter so I was cheering so loud when he hit that one with the clock winding down.
Thats why people who have any knowledge about NBA history, get so frustrated with the Lebron media bullshit. They've busted our balls with his supposed longevity. Malone won MVP at ages 34 and 36, and was averaging 27ppg in the playoffs at age 37. Bare in mind 27ppg in 2000 is a lot more than 27 in 2020 (if you adjust for pace or for team scoring average, 27ppg in 2000 translate roughly to 31 ppg today and 27 ppg today would translate to 23ppg in 2000). And he wasnt cheating on defense. And he was playing alongside old timers (Stockton was even older, Hornacek was old too) going hard against young dogs. And Malone historically wasnt even top 20.
25-39 shooting not too shabby!! 1.28 point per shot
DEFENDERS80.... what do mean didn't reach the level of Barkley and Duncan. ..he's a two time MVP
Exactly, he is the mailman
fanboys that don't know shit. he was WAY better than Duncan and his defence put him over the edge against Barkley
And Karl Malone holds the record for oldest player ever to score 30 points in a playoff game when he scored 30 in 2004 for the Lakers on the road against Houston at the age of 40 and 10 months about.
And the Mailman is the oldest player ever to score 40 points in a game when he scored 40 against Orlando in 2003 at the age of 39 in his last season with the Utah Jazz. John Stockton retired at the end of the 2003 season and the Mailman went to the Lakers for 1 year in 2004.
Some of the shit he was scoring was crazy
Thanx!
Dang! 4:31 Malone almost smushed Stockton! Lol XD Thanks for uploading videos of the Mailman!
yeah Malone was the man
I do believe you are correct sir!
All basketball statistics revolve around Stockton and Malone.
Karl malone was a beast athlete rarely missed games
great upload man; 1:29 karl travelled to china and back lol!
FOR ANOTHER LIFETIME
oldest MVP too
Jordan 35 years 3 months
Malone 35 years 10 months
For Karl Malone, age ain't nothing but a number
He aged like fine wine indeed.
Karl aged like fine wine indeed.
STAY'ED ON THE SAME TEAM LIKE !TIM,DUNKI'N!.
Except his last year when he played for the Lakers
Lebron next year: 'Guys everyone pass me the ball I'm gonna chug bricks all night trying to break this record' 😆
Malone Was a Work Horse He Did Not Quite Reach The Level of Play of a Prime Barkley or a Prime Duncan but His Longevity Was Legendary. He Also Improoved Alot Year by Year
You don't know shit about basketball
Hahaha funniest post I've seen in a minute haha
Prime Duncan? lol even prime KG is better than prime Duncan
hahah casual. didn't reach the level of play, he was way better than Duncan in everything but blocks and while Barkley was more skilled Malones defence alone makes him WAY better. THE GREATEST pf EVER
The claimed that Barkley and Duncan was better than Malone is trash. Just look at the numbers.
Wow! Mailman must be the oldest player to score 50 in a playoff game.
wow
Malone's fadeaway was as good as Jordan's if not better
I agree with the as good, but definitely not better.
Imagine getting elbowed by this dude ...........
Ask Isaiah Thomas about that. Dude had 30 stitches after Karl laid into his face with an elbow
I wonder what Grant said to Malone at the end of the game
He said "you traveled at 50"
Why did this team never get a ring... inconstancy? I was in in military during this time so i didn't get to see. But it is so strange what got Utah in 99 and 2000?
They were too old to compete against taller and more athletic Portland Trailblazers
Casey Slade they were never deep enough. Hornacek was awesome, but in the downside. Russell was good, decent other players, but that was mostly all they had.
"Why did this team never get a ring...". Jordan was the reason the Jazz didn't win a ring, and then the lockout shortened 50 game Season in 99 put them and other older teams at a big disadvantage even though they tied for the best record: Sacramento was a tough battle and Webber hit Stockton hard in game 2 and injured him, so in round 2 the exhausted Jazz fell like a punch drunk boxer with a weakened Stockton and a young fresh Portland team with the one time Isiah Rider played well.
@@lanehennefer5896 pull his dick out your mouth. If it wasn't for the refs the Jazz would win in 98. ALSO if it there was no Rodman Pippen and Harper Jordan would win none of that by himself
Why U Do This ?
3:09
was that trip on purpose??
Probably lol.
Julius Randle will do karl Malone with the lakers.. Showtime
Jordan scored 43 at age 40
I didnt know traveling is only legal while trying to score 50 pts
they travel all day in the NBA
Too bad they got exposed by Portland in the next round
🦑
DEFENDERS80.... what do mean didn't reach the level of Barkley and Duncan. ..he's a two time MVP
he's better than Barkley
+Anthony Bailey Jr He was better than both. Malone's offensive arsenal is unmatched in the position, he could do everything but shoot threes. A nightmare for any defender.
+FiasaPower I think Barkley was more of an all-round player offensively, than Malone, though both were amazing players
@@FiasaPower plus a top notch defender to go along
@@SeecretWeapon and WAY better than Duncan
loved it when karl gav isaiah thomas a lil sumin
stockton always makes me think i shoudl do the nba
