Top 5 PFs in NBA History

[muskiesfan]

I know I've been a little erratic with posting these, but only one left after this one.

1. Bob Petit- Put in a healthy 26PPG with 16 Rebs, pretty impressive

2. Jerry Lucas- Not as much of a scorer (17PPG), but killed the boards with almost 16 a game.

3. Karl Malone- I almost didn't put him this high. Solid scorer and a decent rebounder. I don't know why I've never cared for the Mailman, I just never have.

4. Charles Barkley- Sir Charles was undersized and still scored and rebounded well. Mixed it up well in the paint.

5. Elvin Hayes- Falls right in line with the rest. Scored and rebounded well which is exactly what you want out of your PF.

Just missed:
Kevin Garnett
Tim Duncan
Kevin McHale

[Anthony K.]

In no particular order:

Tim Duncan
Charles Barkley
Karl Malone
Bob Pettit
Jerry Lucas

I would be willing to argue that Tim Duncan is the GREATEST power forward of all time, honestly.

Dirk is 3rd IMO behind Malone and Duncan...

Yep, I think Duncan is probably #1 as well. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves because he is sorta boring as a star player.

#1 Malone
#1.5 Barkley
#1.5 Duncan

Seriously, no Dirk??

I would agree that Duncan is the best Power Forward ever.I would put Garnett,Malone,Dirk ahead of Barkley.

Two of the most underrated pf's ever were:

Larry Nance,Kevin McKale

 

[Huffamaniac]

I have to say Tim Duncan not makeing the Top 5 is surprising.

I beleive Duncan is not only the best PF ever, he might even make my Top 5 overall list. I have him ahead of Bird and Magic

I would definitely have Duncan in there. Barkley to me gets too much credit for me. And as someone said, Duncan's style is kind of boring, but definitely in the top 5 ever. And Dirk? No defense. No top 5. If KG would have been more of a 4th quarter go-to guy, I'd put him in my top 5 also.
