    Pretty cool video talking about Moses Malone and a little about the ABA and ABA/NBA merger for those of who weren't around to appreciate this legend.

    Although, I will point out that the video is a little disingenuous about the claim that it makes.

    Watch the man at work:

    I hope clutch bans from you this forum for posting such ludicrous claims. Kobe = GOAT and make sure you know that.

    3 MVPs during the period of Bird, Magic, Kareem and West.

    I didn't realize this was even a question, but I reside in Houston and like a dominant center.

    It's a funny ode to people who post something about one player, then mention Kobe when Kobe has nothing to do with it.

    Only player in history to win MVP awards in consecutive years with different teams each one of those consecutive years (*didn't need help). :eek:

    Mad respect for the man I've seen at Moody Park playing scrubs.

    The Chairman of the Board deserves some respect from the younger generation.

    Moses is one of the most under rated players ever, dude was a monster on the boards and could score at will. I do not understand why his name is not brought up more when talking about some of the great centers. He won 3 MVPs and has a ring.
