THE GREATEST POWER FORWARD OF ALL TIME

[j3lademaster]

If we include playoff wins, Lebron is 2nd all time after Kareem.

[SouBeachTalents]

Damn, he beat Curry/Klay/Dray in 2013, before any of them had even made an all star game? GOAT shit.

And was OP really under the impression he beat Kobe in 2013 :lol

I always go with Lebron as the greatest PF of all-time, because that's when Lebron was at his best playing the 4. The only knock I would have on him is that he played in the cheating ref era so everything is somewhat tainted

[Xiao Yao You]

Duncan more of a center to me

"Power forward" is an arbitrary label that was inherited from a previous era. Tim Duncan's game wasn't built on power or penetration.

Karl Malone was a power forward. Charles Barkley was a power forward. Amare Stoudemire was a power forward.

Dirk Nowtizki, not a power forward. He was a stretch forward. Even Kevin Garnett was wrongly labelled a PF. Just because you are a 4, doesn't mean you are a PF. Really he was just an oversized 3.

In Duncan's case the only reason he started at the 4 was because of D-Rob. In reality though he always played like more of a 5. That was his natural position.

Always thought admiral played more like a small forward on offense

One could say that Duncan with the more back to the basket/post game was the center and DRob with the more face up game was the power forward. And Pop didn't really switch to "small ball" (with Duncan at center) until Dirk/Mavs 2007 and when playing vs Suns.

I think that players should be "labelled" what they were during their peak/prime especially in the case of Duncan and Lebron whose careers are SO long that they span different eras where the game has changed so much.

Duncan is a hybrid PF-C-SF player.

reason Twin Towers won 2 rings with D-Rob, another weird hybrid C-PF-SG kinda player. D-Rob body was long, lean muscular, speed, athletic SG type.

both were weird, opposite hybrids imo. Duncan was non-athletic, slow, boring. D-Rob was a athletic, live wire.

[gengiskhan]

Definitely better career than Kobe
