gold star for USAHOF

28. Moses Malone

28. Moses Malone
There is no doubt that Moses Malone is a legend in the world of basketball, but when you think of Malone it is not the Atlanta Hawks that you think of.  While that is not necessarily the wrong thought process, Malone did have three decent seasons in Atlanta, the first of which was an All Star one.  Two of his three years in Atlanta were double double campaigns, both of which had a PER over 20. 

So why is it again that Atlanta doesn’t celebrate Moses Malone more?
