Look how many more points Malone had and they played the same amount of time. And Malone had way more rebounds and he wasn't even a center. If anything it's Malone and not debatable.

Olajuwon in a cakewalk. The Dream Shake is right there with Kareem's shy hook as one of the great low post moves of all time.

Olajuwon

Yeah... sounds like a lot of denial that Malone is easily the better player. That's fine though.

True but that's not the question though...

That's like saying Reggie Bush is better than Barry Sanders because he won a world championship super bowl.

Malone was a great offensive PF who was an above average defender who played with a HOF his whole career

Hakeem was Dwight Howard with Kevin McHale's post game who played with a past his prime HOF for a couple years.
