Karl Malone, who is currently the second-best scorer of all time in NBA history, earned his nickname because, “he delivers.” However, it should be said that Malone’s postseason failures, leading the Utah Jazz to two NBA finals but not a title, caused many to joke about his nickname, claiming that he didn’t deliver on weekends, when many playoff games are played. However, Malone’s regular season stats speak for themselves, two MVP awards and 11 All-NBA First Teams.
