lol so does defense suddenly not matter for peaks?
the only one of those players Barkleys better than at his peak is Karl
04 KG is the best PF ever

Well, until the Playoffs started.
3rd behind Duncan and Malone.
[QUOTE=fpliii]1a/1b KG/Duncan
3 Dirk
4 Barkley
Duncan probably finishes ahead of KG, and Dirk can as well if he has more seasons like last year.[/QUOTE]
You really gotta stop linking Duncan and KG to each other like they're equals...
Again, besides 2004 and 2008, when was KG a top 3 player? Or even top 5?
2003?
5th of all time. Behind Duncan, Chuck, Malone and KG.
I got it like this:
Duncan is the undisputed Nr.1 IF you rank him as PF...
If not, you can pick your guy from Dirk, Malone, Barkley.... Or I guess to some, KG.
They're all in the same tier, they all have their arguments.
Duncan the undisputed number one
I'm still undecided as to whether KG or Dirk should follow. KG at his apex was arguably the best PF I've ever seen play but there's just something about that German...
Chuck and Malone are also in the mix as well as most predicate.

Barkley is before my time, but Ive never heard a compelling argument for him over KG
(Cannot be bother to argue Dirk/KG for the millionth time)

KG is top 5 every year from 03-09 IMO, and was great from 00-02. Elite defender from 10-13 too.

Chuck is really underrated... I guess his TNT personality and the fact that thats all people know of him does that.
Player who shot 60% on his 2 Point shots for the majority of his prime years... A different animal scoring wise. While KG was busy taking his Jumpers while being built like a tank, Chuck took it down low with force.
He's really like LeBron... Freak of nature. Great speed, quickness, balance, etc. You might get an illusion just seing his rather thick body, but the dude was as explosive as it gets. Great handles for his size. At his peak perhaps the GOAT PF.
His defense is often claimed his flaw, but it wasnt as bad as some people make it out to be given the footage I saw... And his rebounding was stellar.
Insanely crafty inside, not as skilled as others, but he just forced his way in there.. And he had a good step back. Too quick for bigs, too strong for guards.
Battled peak MJ for best in the league AND won an MVP off of him, and was legitemately robbed in 1990.
If MJ hadn't existed we would remember him differently.
Borderline top 5. Top 4 I have Duncan, Barkley, Malone, Garnett. 5th I'm torn between Dirk and Kevin McHale. If he's not 5th, then he's definitely 6th.

2006-2007 top 5 over Kobe/LeBron/Dirk/Duncan/Nash/Wade?
2009 top 5 over LeBron/Kobe/Wade/Dirk/Howard/Paul?
Not so sure about that.
