LOS ANGELES – 1983: Moses Malone /

1. Moses Malone, Philadelphia 76ers and Houston Rockets

You know a guy is truly great when he deserves to be on two All-Time rosters. Moses is a no-brainer at the top of this list. Malone is by all accounts one of the twelve or so greatest players of all time. He won two MVPs with the Rockets and led them to the 1981 Finals. He won another MVP in Philly on the classic 1983 Sixers team that swept the Lakers in the Finals. Moses should be on both Houston’s and Philly’s All-Time teams.

Moses’ career was marked by both longevity and dominance. He made twelve consecutive All-Star appearances from 1977-1989 and his statistical resume is unassailable. For nine of those twelve seasons Moses played for the Rockers and Sixers (the last three season of which he played for the Bullets and Hawks), averaging a preposterous 25 points and 15 rebounds per game and shot 50 percent from the field (per Basketball-Reference).

Next: What each NBA coach would be doing if he wasn’t an NBA coach

Malone was never known for his eloquence, but his famous prediction that the Sixers would sweep the playoffs and go “Fo, Fo, Fo” before the 1983 playoffs has lived on in NBA lore. They almost accomplished the feat, losing only one playoff game. Malone was the best player on that Philly championship team and deservedly took home the Finals MVP award. If that’s not legendary or all-time great, then I don’t know what is.
