Malone played 18 years in Utah. He lost to Jordan twice. 16 other chances to get a ring.
Barkley played on 3 different teams trying to get a ring and played Jordan in the finals once (I think). I think he also lost to Jordan in a previous round one time as well while in Philly, but still it's not like that was the only team keeping Barkley from a ring.
I don't really care that they lost to Hakeem... Honestly I think beating Kobe/Durant/LeBron/Wade is more impressive than beating Hakeem.
Dirk has better playoff numbers than Malone and didn't have nearly the second star that Malone did and Dirk won it anyway. Barkley and Dirk's numbers are comparable, which makes the ONE ring between the both of them the deal breaker.
btw LOL at implying that Drexler could be ranked above Dirk.
