Years active1974–1995
Known forThree-time NBA Most Valuable Player; 1983 NBA champion with Philadelphia 76ers; Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee (2001)

Moses Eugene Malone Sr. (March 23, 1955 – September 13, 2015) was a prominent American professional basketball athlete who competed in both the ABA and NBA from 1974 through 1995. Playing as a center, he secured three NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards, participated in 12 NBA All-Star games, and received eight selections to the All-NBA Teams. Malone captained the Philadelphia 76ers to their 1983 NBA championship victory, earning both league MVP and Finals MVP distinctions that year. Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001, he is frequently cited as one of the most outstanding yet underappreciated players in NBA history.

Malone launched his pro career immediately after high school when the Utah Stars chose him in the third round of the 1974 ABA draft. He was named an ABA All-Star during his rookie year and spent two seasons in the ABA prior to the 1976 ABA–NBA merger. Upon entering the NBA with the Buffalo Braves, he was swiftly traded to the Houston Rockets, where over six seasons he became a five-time All-Star. After leading the league in rebounds in 1979, Malone captured his initial MVP award and steered the Rockets to the 1981 NBA Finals. He claimed his second MVP title in 1982 before being traded to Philadelphia, where he repeated as MVP and guided the 76ers to their championship in 1983. Throughout his first tenure with Philadelphia, Malone earned All-Star honors every season.

After subsequent trades to the Washington Bullets and signing as a free agent with the Atlanta Hawks—where he achieved his final All-Star appearance—Malone went on to play for the Milwaukee Bucks before returning once more to Philadelphia and concluding his career with the San Antonio Spurs.

Renowned for his unyielding physical play and mastery on the boards, Malone led the NBA in rebounding six times, including an unprecedented streak of five straight seasons from 1981 to 1985. Nicknamed the "Chairman of the Boards," he retired holding the all-time record for offensive rebounds and led combined ABA and NBA offensive rebounding nine times. Across both leagues, Malone ranks ninth all-time in scoring with 29,580 points and third in total rebounds at 17,834. His accolades include selection to the ABA All-Time Team as well as inclusion on both the NBA's 50th and 75th Anniversary Teams.

Early life

Born in Petersburg, Virginia, Malone was primarily raised by his mother, Mary, who had left formal education after fifth grade. When he was two years old, his father relocated to Texas due to familial circumstances.[1] Malone attended Petersburg High School, where he played for the Crimson Wave basketball team that remained undefeated during his last two years and won back-to-back Virginia state championships.[2][3][4] He committed via a letter of intent to join college basketball at the University of Maryland under head coach Lefty Driesell.[5]Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Utah Stars (1974–1975)

Chosen by the Utah Stars in the third round of the 1974 ABA Draft, Malone opted to bypass college and turn professional immediately,[6][7][8][9] becoming one of the first modern players to enter professional basketball directly from high school.[1][6] He inked a five-year contract worth $1 million and made his debut during the 1974–75 ABA season.[8] Initially listed as a forward at , weighing 215 pounds,[1][9] Malone transitioned into a center role as his physique developed.[9] In his rookie campaign, he earned both ABA All-Star and ABA All-Rookie team honors.[9] During the 1975 ABA Playoffs, Malone averaged 22.7 points, 17.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game despite a first-round defeat against the Denver Nuggets.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name Following this season, although selected by the Chicago Bulls in the tenth round of the 1975 NBA draft, he was ruled ineligible under then-existing NBA rules requiring four years post-high school before draft eligibility.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad nameCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Spirits of St. Louis (1975–1976)

During the 1975–76 ABA season, Malone was sidelined by a leg injury while with Utah. Subsequently, he, along with teammates Ron Boone, Randy Denton, and Steve Green, was transferred to the Spirits of St. Louis as part of a transaction to reduce the Stars' financial liabilities after the franchise folded after just 16 games. Malone completed that season playing for the Spirits, who ended with a 35–49 record and failed to qualify for the playoffs. Across his two seasons in the ABA, he maintained averages of 17.2 points and 12.9 rebounds per contest.

Buffalo Braves (1976)

After the ABA–NBA merger in 1976, Malone’s team, the Spirits of St. Louis, was not among those ABA franchises incorporated into the NBA. Although the NBA’s New Orleans Jazz had drafted him in December 1975, Malone entered the 1976 ABA Dispersal Draft pool, allowing the Jazz to reclaim their 1977 first-round selection used in a trade for Gail Goodrich. Chosen fifth overall by the Portland Trail Blazers in that dispersal draft, Malone was traded before making any appearances.

Portland’s frontcourt featured established players Maurice Lucas, Bill Walton, and Lloyd Neal, limiting Malone’s playing time. Consequently, he was traded to the Buffalo Braves in exchange for a 1978 first-round draft pick and $232,000. Malone played only two games for Buffalo before being traded once more to the Houston Rockets for first-round picks in both 1977 and 1978 after Buffalo failed to meet his expectations regarding minutes on court.

1976–77 season

Malone joined the Houston Rockets as a forward alongside Rudy Tomjanovich. Over 82 games split between Buffalo and Houston, he averaged 13.2 points and 13.1 rebounds per game, ranking third in rebounding league-wide. He set an NBA record at that time by securing 437 offensive rebounds—a mark later surpassed—and also averaged 2.21 blocks per contest, placing seventh across the league. In the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Malone established a playoff benchmark with 15 offensive rebounds during an overtime victory against the Washington Bullets. The Rockets advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals but were defeated 4–2 by the Philadelphia 76ers.

1977–78 season: First All-Star selection

In his sophomore NBA season, Malone missed the last 23 games due to a stress fracture in his right foot. Nevertheless, he led the league with 380 offensive rebounds and ranked second with an average of 15.0 rebounds per game. His scoring output rose to 19.4 points per game, which earned him his inaugural NBA All-Star nod in 1978.

1978–79 season: First MVP award

After gaining 15 pounds during the offseason, Malone solidified his status as an elite center. He posted averages of 24.8 points on .540 shooting efficiency and led all players with a personal-best 17.6 rebounds per game, culminating in winning the NBA Most Valuable Player Award. Additionally, he set an all-time single-season record by grabbing 587 offensive rebounds and received selections to both the All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive Second Team. Malone also started at center for the Eastern Conference in the 1979 NBA All-Star Game. On February 9, he achieved a career-high performance with 37 rebounds against the New Orleans Jazz. The Rockets qualified for the playoffs but were swept by the Atlanta Hawks; Malone averaged 24.5 points and an impressive 20.5 rebounds across those two games.

1979–80 season

In the 1979–80 campaign, Malone posted averages of 25.8 points, ranking fifth across the NBA, and 14.5 rebounds per game, placing second in the league. He earned his third straight All-Star selection and was named to the All-NBA Second Team. During the playoffs, Houston overcame the San Antonio Spurs in a best-of-three series, with Malone delivering an impressive 37 points and 20 rebounds in the series-clinching contest. However, the Rockets were subsequently swept by the Boston Celtics in the conference semifinals.

1980–81 season: First NBA Finals appearance

Throughout the 1980–81 season, Malone led the NBA in rebounding with an average of 14.8 boards per game over 80 games played. He secured another All-Star nod and was again selected for the All-NBA Second Team. Offensively, he ranked second in scoring, putting up 28.8 points per contest. On March 11, Malone notched a career-high 51 points against the Golden State Warriors. His efforts propelled Houston to their inaugural 1981 NBA Finals appearance, highlighted by a 36-point, 11-rebound performance in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Kansas City Kings. Despite Malone’s strong Finals averages of 22.3 points, 15.7 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks, Houston fell to the Boston Celtics in six games.

1981–82 season: Second MVP award

In their debut season competing within the Midwest Division, Houston concluded with a 40–42 record, tying for second place. Malone achieved career-best scoring numbers at 31.1 points per game along with 14.7 rebounds, earning his second Most Valuable Player award. He once again led the league in total rebounds and offensive boards (558), finished second in scoring behind George Gervin, and topped all players in minutes played (3,398). This season saw Malone named to the All-NBA First Team. On February 2, he set a personal single-game scoring record by tallying 53 points against the San Diego Clippers, followed by shattering his own league record with 21 offensive rebounds on February 11 against the Seattle SuperSonics. Despite maintaining averages of 24.0 points and an impressive 17.0 rebounds during his final year with Houston, Malone’s Rockets were eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs by Seattle.

1982–83 season: Championship season and Finals MVP

Following the conclusion of the 1981–82 season, Malone entered restricted free agency and signed a six-year contract worth $13.2 million with the Philadelphia 76ers on September 2, 1982. The Rockets’ new ownership considered his $2 million salary demand excessive; although Houston matched this offer, they ultimately agreed to trade Malone to Philadelphia in exchange for Caldwell Jones and a first-round pick in the 1983 NBA draft. With a star-studded lineup featuring Julius Erving, Maurice Cheeks, and Andrew Toney, Philadelphia dominated throughout their championship run. Malone secured his second consecutive MVP award, becoming the first NBA player to earn back-to-back MVP honors while playing for different franchises—a distinction only matched by Barry Bonds across major American sports.

During this campaign, Malone led the league for a third straight year by averaging 15.3 rebounds per game and contributed an average of 24.5 points, placing him fifth overall in scoring. He was selected as an All-Star for a sixth consecutive season and earned first-team recognition on both the All-NBA and All-Defensive squads. The Sixers lost only one game during their playoff run, sweeping the Lakers four games to none in the 1983 NBA Finals. Over thirteen postseason contests, Malone averaged 26.0 points and 15.8 rebounds and was honored as the Finals MVP, outrebounding Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by a margin of 72 to 30.

In this era, Malone also served as a mentor to future Rockets legend Hakeem Olajuwon. Head coach Billy Cunningham credited Malone as a pivotal factor differentiating this team from prior seasons. Before entering the playoffs, Malone famously predicted Philadelphia would sweep each round “fo, fo, fo,” envisioning three consecutive four-game sweeps—a phrase that has become one of sports’ most iconic rallying calls. The Sixers completed their postseason with a dominant 12–1 record; their sole loss came in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks, leading to their championship ring inscription reading "fo' fi' fo (four, five, four)." This playoff performance was regarded as one of the most commanding in NBA history at that time.

1983–84 season

During the 1983–84 campaign, Malone topped the league in rebounds, averaging 13.4 per game, although ankle injuries restricted him to 71 appearances. In his sophomore year with Philadelphia, he posted an average of 22.7 points per game and secured a spot on the All-NBA Second Team. Selected for the All-Star Game, he ultimately missed the event due to injury. In the postseason, Malone contributed 21.4 points and 13.8 rebounds across five games, but Philadelphia was unexpectedly defeated in the opening round by the New Jersey Nets.

1984–85 season

The Sixers added Charles Barkley in the 1984 draft, with Malone playing a key role in helping Barkley reduce his weight from 300 to 255 pounds, which led to Barkley's inclusion on the NBA All-Rookie Team. Malone led the NBA in rebounding for an unprecedented fifth straight year, averaging 13.1 boards per game. He earned his eighth All-Star nod, ranked ninth in scoring with 24.6 points per game, and received his fourth selection to the All-NBA First Team. Finishing third in MVP voting behind Larry Bird, he also achieved career milestones by surpassing 15,000 points and 10,000 rebounds. On November 14, he recorded a personal best of 51 points against the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals but were defeated 4–1 by Boston.

1985–86 season

Malone’s 1985–86 season was cut short after sustaining an orbital fracture in his right eye on March 28, which sidelined him for the playoffs. Philadelphia was eliminated in seven games during the Eastern Conference Semifinals by the Bucks. Over 74 games that season, Malone averaged 23.8 points and 11.8 rebounds, ranking seventh in scoring and fourth in rebounding league-wide, ending his five-year streak as NBA rebounding leader. He was selected as an All-Star but did not make an All-NBA Team for the first time since 1978.

Washington Bullets (1986–1988)

Following the conclusion of the 1985–86 season, Philadelphia traded Malone along with Terry Catledge and two first-round draft picks to the Washington Bullets in exchange for Jeff Ruland and Clifford T. Robinson. Recovering from a season hampered by injury, Malone averaged 24.1 points and 11.3 rebounds while earning his tenth straight All-Star appearance and a place on the All-NBA Second Team. He was unique in ranking among the top ten players for both scoring and rebounding averages.

Malone reached a significant milestone by scoring his 20,000th NBA point on April 12 against Detroit and delivered a 50-point performance versus the New Jersey Nets, becoming only the third Bullets player after Earl Monroe and Phil Chenier to reach that mark in a game. Washington qualified for the playoffs but were swept by Detroit; Malone averaged 20.7 points and collected 12.7 rebounds during the series.

In his twelfth season, Malone stood eighth in rebounding (11.2) and nineteenth in scoring (20.3), securing his eleventh consecutive All-Star selection in 1988. He scored at least ten points in 76 out of 79 games and recorded double-doubles on 55 occasions. The Bullets returned to postseason play but fell to Detroit in a closely contested first-round series (3–2), with Malone averaging 18.6 points and grabbing 11.2 rebounds.

1988–89 season: Final All-Star selection

Prior to the start of the 1988–89 season, Malone inked a three-year deal with the Atlanta Hawks, who aimed to complement Dominique Wilkins with his veteran experience to enhance their championship ambitions. He averaged 20.2 points alongside 11.8 rebounds per contest, becoming the first player ever to maintain averages of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds for four different franchises. This performance earned him his twelfth and final consecutive All-Star selection.

Malone reached double-figure scoring in points during 75 of his 81 appearances and posted double-digit rebounds on fifty-five occasions throughout the season. His highest scoring output came with a season-best of 37 points against the Phoenix Suns on February 4, 1989. The Hawks exited early from the playoffs after being eliminated by Milwaukee; Malone contributed averages of 21.0 points and pulled down 12.0 rebounds during that series.

1989–90 season

Malone's averages dropped to 18.9 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, ending his impressive run of 11 straight seasons with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds. He led the NBA by securing 364 offensive rebounds and ranked eighth in rebounds per contest. During Mike Fratello's final year as head coach, the Atlanta Hawks finished with a balanced 41–41 record but failed to qualify for the playoffs. In the following 1990–91 season, after the first 15 games, Malone was replaced as the starting center by Jon Koncak under new coach Bob Weiss, relegating Malone to a backup role for the remaining 67 games.

1990–91 season

For the first time in his career, Malone primarily came off the bench, posting averages of 10.6 points and 8.1 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per game over all 82 contests, starting only 18 games—a personal low. He set a new NBA milestone for career free throws made with 7,695, surpassing Oscar Robertson, while also reaching his 25,000th point and 15,000th rebound milestones. Additionally, Malone broke Wilt Chamberlain's record by playing 1,046 consecutive games without fouling out. The Hawks returned to postseason play but were eliminated in the opening round by Detroit; Malone’s production declined to just 4.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game during that series.

Milwaukee Bucks (1991–1993)

Following the conclusion of the 1990–91 season, Malone signed a two-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks as a free agent, reportedly earning $1.6 million in the first year and $2 million in the second. Starting at center throughout the 1991–92 campaign, he averaged 15.6 points and led the team with 9.1 rebounds per game across all 82 games played, also ranking second on the squad in scoring. Malone recorded two games scoring over 30 points and grabbed a season-high of 19 rebounds in a matchup against Seattle. Despite his efforts, Milwaukee ended tied for last place in the Central Division with a 31–51 record.

In October of 1992, Malone suffered a herniated disc during practice and underwent surgery in November, which sidelined him for most of the following season. He made a late-season return in March for just 11 games as the Bucks struggled with an inexperienced roster and finished last in their division with a record of 28–54.

Return to Philadelphia (1993–1994)

The Philadelphia 76ers brought Malone back as a free agent in August of 1993 to provide veteran leadership and serve as a backup to rookie Shawn Bradley. Malone appeared in 55 games off the bench during this period, averaging modest outputs of 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per contest.

San Antonio Spurs (1994–1995)

In 1994, Malone joined the San Antonio Spurs, assuming a reserve center role behind David Robinson. The 1994–95 NBA season marked his final year competing in the NBA and distinguished him as the last active player to have participated in the ABA. In his concluding game against the Charlotte Hornets, he notably sank a buzzer-beating three-pointer from long range. Over that season, he appeared in just 17 games for San Antonio.

Player profile

Standing at and weighing , Malone earned the nickname "Chairman of the Boards" due to his extraordinary rebounding prowess. His combination of power, agility, and relentless effort allowed him to dominate inside play effectively. Renowned for scoring off missed shots—often capitalizing on offensive rebounds—he led the league multiple times in offensive rebound totals. Some observers speculated that he occasionally missed shots intentionally to enhance his rebounding statistics. Passing was not a strong suit for Malone; when encouraged to improve this aspect of his game, he famously replied, "They ain't paying me to pass."

Malone holds the record for most combined offensive rebounds across both ABA and NBA careers (7,382), surpassing second-place Artis Gilmore by approximately one-third. Within NBA history alone, he owns records for career offensive rebounds (6,731), single-season total (587), and most offensive boards in one game (21). A thirteen-time All-Star and eight-time All-NBA honoree, he ranks ninth all-time with 29,580 points scored and third with an accumulation of 17,834 rebounds. Alongside Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he is one of only three players to exceed both 28,000 points and 17,000 rebounds during their careers. Additionally, Malone is second all-time in free throws made (9,018) and attempted (11,864). He is among just nine players who have earned NBA MVP honors three or more times and led the league in rebounding on six occasions—including five straight seasons from 1980 through 1985.

Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility in 2001, Malone’s No. 24 jersey was retired by the Houston Rockets in 1998. The Philadelphia 76ers retired his No. 2 jersey on February 8, 2019; honoring his wish to include every teammate’s name on the banner alongside his own. Furthermore, Philadelphia unveiled a statue commemorating Malone outside their training facility located in Camden, New Jersey. In recognition of his impact on basketball history, The Athletic ranked him as the eighteenth greatest NBA player ever during the league’s celebration of its seventy-fifth anniversary in 2022.

Awards and honors

Personal life

Malone and his spouse, Alfreda Gill, were parents to two sons: Moses Eugene Jr. and Michael Malone. In September 1991, Alfreda initiated divorce proceedings citing irreconcilable differences, cruelty, and infidelity. During the process, a restraining order was issued in June 1992 preventing Malone from contacting her. Malone refuted all abuse accusations; the divorce was finalized in October 1992.

In January 1993, Malone faced arrest in Galveston, Texas, due to a peace bond violation connected to allegations made by Alfreda involving stalking, unlawful entry, property damage, and threats. He was released after posting bail.

Subsequently, Malone was in a relationship with Leah Nash, with whom he had a son named Micah Francois Malone, who was six years old at the time of Malone’s passing.

Death

At age 60, Malone passed away peacefully during sleep from heart disease on September 13, 2015, while staying at a hotel in Norfolk, Virginia. He was scheduled to participate in a charity golf event that day but was found unresponsive after missing breakfast and phone calls. Prior to his death, Malone had reported experiencing an irregular heartbeat and was reportedly using a heart monitor.
