Not a bad list.

Although don't want you to get mad or sumthing but i think Jax should be ranked ahead of Melo.

Gerald Wallace > Jax and Melo

[AtomSmasher]

eric snow is the strongest point guard in nba history.

amare is definitely not one of the strongest power forwards. carlos boozer is way stronger than amare.

[Andrei89]

Gerald Wallace > Jax and Melo

Oh damn why i always though Wallace is a shooting guard

[rizzy]

Corey Maggette?

Brandon Bass?

[GatorKid117]

Craig Smith http://clippers.topbuzz.com/albums/group_pics/Mark_Madsen_with_Sebastian_Telfair_and_Craig_Smith _photo_as_Clippers.sized.jpg

Joey Graham
http://thedenversportsjournal.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/joey_graham1.jpg

Brandon Bass is pretty big too but I don't know if he's top 3. And there's a better picture of Smith but it takes up the whole page so that will do. You can google if your interested.

[ShaqAttack3234]

Dwight isn't stronger than Perkins.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Odom anyone? And Big Ben could kick Dwights ass easy.

[qrich]

Maggette?

[SAKOTXA]

Kobe is stronger than Joe Johnson, and none of the PF's should be there.

[TMAC-RAPTORS]

Some suggestions : Andre Miller, Joey Graham, Kyle Lowry

[U got Served]

If Yao were playing he would be the 2nd strongest center.

[JustinJDW]

Yi?

Dude is built...

[H2whoa]

Will Bynum is pretty huge for a PG, granted, his size does exaggerate it a bit, but he's still pretty high on my list.

[YAH trick YAH]

Yi is ripped definition wise, don't know if he is that strong compared to other guys at his position though.

[Bandito]

What the hell are they feeding Yi? Ramen with steroids to give it flavor?

[clayton]

Good diet.

[Nori]

Amare is the only one of the PF who deserves to be there!

I loved Tractor Traylor. He gave us fat shyts hope that even we can become great ballers. :banana:

[plowking]

Perkins in my opinion trumps both Shaq and Howard for strongest in the league. Dude cannot be moved.

[gyu]

Chuck Hayes is up there, dude doesn't budge.
Watch him almost lay Andrew Bynum out going for a rebound and Bynum trying to back him down as well:

i had to expand the pf list to 5 because craig smith needs to be ranked 1, 2, and 3 for that position. he is the strongest player in the league.

[kumquat]

People are confusing being ripped/big with strength.

A guy like Andre Miller can back pretty much any PG down not named Deron and can finish after full body contact.

Shaq is still the strongest player in the league. He can't be moved when he's defending and can bull over any player in the league.

Kyle lowry is up there.
Brandon Roy is another
There are wiry guys who are deceivingly strong, like Garnett and Anthony Randolph.

[bagelred]

Luke Ridnour? Mikki Moore? :confusedshrug:

[inclinerator]

lebron james is the strongest player in the league

[Cangri]

SF: 1) Artest
2) Lebron
3) Melo

Artest OVER Lebron? really?

[Solid Snake]

Kobe.

[GatorKid117]

lebron james is the strongest player in the league

Craig Smith would eat LeBron.

[inclinerator]

Lebron would eat Craig out

[GatorKid117]

Lebron would eat Craig out
:rolleyes: ugh did not want to picture that lol.

[Luigi]

This is a hard list to make because we don't pay enough attention to strength. There are plenty of very strong bench players not even mentioned yet.

Guys like Glen Davis, Chris Humphries, Chris Wilcox, Kwame Brown, Jason Maxiell, Joe Alexander, and DJ Mbenga get no attention.

[ILLsmak]

eric snow is the strongest point guard in nba history.

amare is definitely not one of the strongest power forwards. carlos boozer is way stronger than amare.

Was about to say that. There are plenty of stronger guys. Craig Smith. It's arguable that JJ HICKSON might be stronger than Amare...

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2009/1228/pg2_ap_esnow1_400.jpg

eric snow once ripped the ball out of shaq's hands. not many men have ever accomplished that, much less point guards. i also heard he was a freak in the weight room.

[maxwellcu]

As strong as I am sure Yi is - no doubt about it - his look is more due to the fact that he is completely shredded than it is due to being outrageously huge.

[Bigsmoke]

Ron Artest

wasn't earl boykins known to bench over 300 pounds?

[Luigi]

185 I think.

Its a nice list. You can sort it by position, too.

Seeing Ronnie Brewer's numbers there, mad me realize how much my Jazz are going to miss his athleticism. Insane.

Maybe when he was a few years younger, still a beast though.

[Lyoto15]

Imo way to many of you guys are looking at muscle tone. The way a player is defined does not show strength.
For example.

No way in hell is there a stronger SF than Melo, other then maybeee Lebron.

Pg.
1. Billups

Sg.
1. Kobe

Sf.
1. Melo

Pf. Kenyon martin

C. Big Ben

agreed, plenty of young guys are stronger than amare. blair, smith, chuck hayes, landry, blake griffin probably is too but hasn't played yet.

but amare is still hella strong... not many people could make this block, which requires great strength:

[The_Walrus]

I think Nene deserves a mention, he doesn't get pushed around by guys like Dwight Howard, Shaq and Duncan.

I mean...

[TAZORAC]

What about carlos boozer? kenyon martin has RETARD strength also.

[Thechosen1]

david west is stronger than amare.....and one of the strongest pfs in the nba

Shaq did push Nene around a bit when they met last week in that OT thriller game on thursday on TNT.

[Mr Clutch Melo]

Edit on the PF list

1) Craig Smith
2) Brandon Bass
3) Jason Maxiell

[Nori]

Are you kidding in me? Amare is much stronger than David West, Amare would punish his ass with one hand. For me, Amare is 2nd strongest PF in the league after C.Smith, the people who say he isn't stronger than fkn D.West are just hating on him!!

[Juges8932]

Dwight isn't stronger than Perkins.

He also isn't stronger than Big Ben.

And Fisher is definitely the strongest point guard IMO.

[glidedrxlr22]

Kobe's name doesn't belong in here. GTFO!

[AtomSmasher]

what exactly makes fisher the strongest point guard? the fact that he has big muscles? he doesn't play like the strongest point guard.

i'd speculate that these guys are all as strong as fish:

kyle lowry
chauncey billups
baron davis
andre miller
russell westbrook

Amusing to compare yourself to these guys. For instance I'im 5'11 150 pounds and can bench what LMA and Tyrus Thomas did. If they are indeed repping 185. Makes me wonder if some of these guys ever lifted a weight in their life before the combine. Iggy at 4, and Caron Butler at 2 is kind of unbelievable.

guy is a total beast. i actually played a little bit with kyle while he attended nova. if his hand(s) came anywhere near the ball say goodbye to the ball.

[Lyoto15]

Oh didn't even notice this untill now.

Its a coincidence really..

Dudes strong tho.

[Dontstop]

Billups ahead of Deron Williams? this dude posts up PGs and SGs on a nightly basis. No Point Guard is stronger than Williams

[kurple]

Shaq did push Nene around a bit when they met last week in that OT thriller game on thursday on TNT.

That was against Birdman.

I remember him starting 0-3 with Nene guarding him

[Thechosen1]

lol amares skinny ass isnt stronger and wouldnt punish west in anyway west would break him in a fight

[Bandito]

Michael Jordan. Please don't flame me...
