In the NBA, who is known by the nickname of "The Mailman"?

In the NBA, Karl Malone is known by the nickname "The Mailman." The nickname reflected his remarkable consistency: like a reliable postal carrier, Malone delivered strong performances game after game, especially as a scorer and rebounder.

Malone spent most of his 18-season NBA career with the Utah Jazz, where he formed one of basketball's most celebrated partnerships with point guard John Stockton. Their pick-and-roll became a signature play and helped Utah reach the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998, although the Jazz lost both series to Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls.

Malone won two NBA Most Valuable Player awards and was selected to the All-NBA First Team 11 times. He finished his career with 36,928 points, placing him among the NBA's top career scorers. He played his final season with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2003–04.

The nickname is sometimes confused with Moses Malone, another Hall of Fame player. "The Mailman" specifically refers to Karl Malone, not Moses Malone.
