Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) has scored more points than Karl Malone (36,928). But the Mailman picked the wrong era to not be on Michael Jordan’s team — Malone’s Jazz lost to the Bulls in 1997 then again in 1998. Malone returned to the Finals at age 40 in 2004; his Lakers fell to the Pistons in five games.
