Osterag played great defense on shaq in that series including Malone. It shows how good the Utah jazz were. Along with other good role players including Stockton

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. Ostertag was solid. Good defender and great shot blocker. Not an offensive threat, but few centers were. No shame in not being able to stop prime Shaquille ONeal. Ostertag was under appreciated. As a Sonics and Blazers fan, who the Jazz KILLED, I respect Ostertag.

Part of the problem with the Lakers before Phil took over as coach was a lack of leadership. Del Harris really wasn't that great of a coach and didn't really command respect in the locker room, he just got by for as long as he did just because the Lakers roster was that good. Shaq and Kobe were both too young and immature to step up and be leaders themselves. This usually wasn't too much of a problem during the regular season when there wasn't too much pressure but not having a true leader became more of an issue when they ran into a team like Utah in the playoffs that was experienced, disciplined, and battle tested.

Yea that is true in reality .. but the way the Nba refs did it.. is they made sure to usually foul out Ostertag as quick as they could. In the past 20 years it has been waay worse though. They only let a handfull of "preferred" big men block whatsoever aT aLL. But yea whenever they wanted Tag out .. they would just keep calling fouls on literally nothing .. and because he wasnt an allstar .. all the low brow basketball fans were like duhh ok . . yea i guess Ostertag should be fouled out yea that sounds right . Durp.

Are you joking? Malone was a fantastic defender. He made 4 all defensive teams. He was 6th all time in defensive win shares in the history of the NBA. He's #50 all time in best career defensive rating, at 101.05. The only active players with a lower defensive rating than Malone. Dwight Howard Rudy Gobert Joakim Noah Andre Drummond All centers. And he had the strongest work ethic of probably any player in history. His offseason workouts were legendary. 6'9" 270 lbs 3% body fat. Nobody with a clue ever called Karl Malone lazy. Your words are nonsense.
