The greatest offensive rebounder in basketball history — Moses Malone won three MVP awards and the 1983 NBA Championship with the 76ers, famously predicting "Fo, Fo, Fo" in the playoffs.

Moses Malone was the most dominant offensive rebounder in basketball history and one of the most powerful centers ever to play. He won three NBA MVP awards and the 1983 NBA Championship with the Philadelphia 76ers. Before the 1983 playoffs he famously predicted the team would go "Fo, Fo, Fo" — winning each series four games to none. They went Fo, Fo, Fo, Fo-one.

His "Fo, Fo, Fo" playoff prediction — meaning four sweeps — became one of sport's most celebrated and nearly accurate predictions.
