Biliyor Muydunuz?
Malone's famous pre-playoff prediction in 1983 — 'Fo, Fo, Fo' (meaning sweep, sweep, sweep) — almost came true: the 76ers went 12-1 in the postseason.
He was the first American high school player to successfully jump directly to professional basketball, paving the way for future stars like Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James.
His offensive rebounding specifically was beyond comparison — he collected second chances through anticipation and effort that other players simply could not match.
Malone passed away unexpectedly in 2015 at age 60, and the outpouring of grief from former teammates and opponents reflected the deep respect his career had earned.
