Malone came up short twice against Jordan in the Finals in 1997 and 1998, but he wouldn’t give up on his quest for a ring. In his final season, Malone did the unthinkable. He joined the Jazz’s Western Conference rival the Los Angeles Lakers. It almost worked as the Lakers made it to the 2004 NBA Finals, but lost in 5 games to the Ben Wallace-led Pistons.
