Me too. I dug into it a bit. Malone played 1476 regular season and 193 playoffs. And averaged 37.2 and 41 minutes per game. A total of 62,820 minutes, so a technical foul every .00528 minutes.

'Sheed, on the other hand, played 1109 regular season at 32.7 minutes and 177 playoff games (this number surprised me) and averaged 32.7 and 33 minutes. A total of 42,105 minutes, working out to a technical foul every .00753 minutes.

So Sheed averaged almost 50% more technical fouls per minute.

I definitely think Draymond is the all-time leader is punching people in the groin, however. And I don't even think it's close.
