Where do you rank McHale among all time PFs?

[QUOTE=Thorpesaurous]McHale is tricky, because of the careers of other guys he can't possibly rank above 7 or so. But if I'm starting a team, I'd take him over most of the guys ranked ahead of him based on his peak and particular skill set.[/QUOTE]
Agreed with the first sentence.

The question depends in what kind of team you want or already have:
A system geared towards inside out offense and a defense dedicated to funneling the shooter towards inside of the paint, where your guy erases mistakes?
Duncan.

A system dedicated to screen and roll offense with a great ball control guard, and a physical, fouling defense?
Malone. Garnett.

A team full of athletes and shooters that runs and guns?
Barkley. Nowitzki.

McHale probably needs a hall of fame great to let him score one on one and defend the toughest front court player. Tho he can plug in any of the above teams, I suspect that the aforementioned options are better suited.
:kobe:

[QUOTE=Nowitness]Stats say otherwise.

And how did he do after those insane games? Did he win like Duncan managed to do?[/QUOTE]

[B]Stats Say What I Just Said, Cause I Have Those Stats Too.

Nope He Did Not Because He Played In a Tougher Era.

Duncan Would Have Zero Rings Had He Played Show Time Lakers, Big 3 Boston Celtics, Badboy Pistons, MJ-Pippen-Rodman-PHIL Jackson Bulls.

Duncan Has Played With the Best Coach in Modern Basketball and 2 HOFs FROM THE START, HIS PRIME AND YES, HIS WHOLE CAREER!!! That

Chuck almost always played on stacked team with great great players WTF
Round Mound is the biggest dickrider on ISH:roll: :roll: :roll:

[QUOTE=G.O.A.T]The top 15 power forwards divide pretty well into categories I think.

Franchise players: Barkley, Malone, Duncan, Dirk, KG, Pettit

Near Franchise Players: Hayes, Webber, Haywood, Gasol

Elite complimentary Players: McHale, DeBusschere, Rodman, Maurice Lucas, Gus Johnson


The first group stands out, after that it comes down to what you value more, individual greatness or team greatness (as a major piece obviously)[/QUOTE]
Near franchise players should be able to win playoff games without the aid of a top 10 alltime great

real talk

franchise players: Dirk, Duncan, Barkley, Malone

second tier: KG; Webber, Mchale, Pettit, hayes etc

well, not many players can be efficient even when given the opportunity. I'll give you that.

He does have his barkley goggles on a bit but is a good poster just very passionate I guess, anyway my 5 looks like this

Timmy
Malone
Barkley
Dirk
Kg

Bob Pettit is the most disrespected player (let alone PF) of all time. He won a title in the Russell era. Something only Wilt Chamberlain has done. Not even Elgin Oscar or West did that. 2 MVPs and a championship get him right above the four on this topic and only behind Duncan.

More titles than Barkley and Malone
More MVPs than Barkley KG and Dirk

1.Duncan
2.Dirk
3.Pettit
4.KG
5.McHale
6.Malone
7.Barkley
