Where's Splitter, tbh?
1. Tim Duncan.
2. Dirk Nowitzki. Now I know many Mav hating Spur fans will scoff at this selection, but which power forward in the modern era other than Duncan has been better in the playoffs? 7th highest playoff PER all-time, [yeah, yeah, I know "lol PER."] and one of the few players to average 25 and 10 over his playoff career.
3. Charles Barkley.
4. Kevin Garnett. Although not as consistent offensively as the players above, KG always brought a superlative defense presence and a smoldering on court intensity that few players in the history of the game have ever matched. KG can be a sometimes, but that's also what makes him effective. He gets in your head and annoys you, much like Rodman or Laimbeer
5. Kevin McHale. 3 les as the second option, but on any other team outside of the Lakers and Bulls of the 80s, he would've been the first option. Great fundamentals, possessing one of the best post-games of all-time.
6. .463. Pretty much here by default by virtue of playing 75 years and stat whoring like no one's business. Should've had a ring or two, and no, the reason he doesn't have a championship is not because he had toface Jordan
7 through 10 could be a variety of players. Pet , Willis Reed, Shawn Kemp. Arguments could be made for Dennis Rodman, Bob McAdoo, etc.
So there's mine. Who's yours? I think the first six are set in stone, really. No legitimate arguments can be made to put one above the other. Maybe you can bring someone like a Pet up and place him in the sixth slot, but it would be a tough sell, considering Pet played in much weaker era.

I'd have KG over Barkley, other than that
Malone is one of the most overrated players of all time
I agree. I'm seriously considering bringing up Pet and placing him in Malone's slot. I mean, weak, midget and honky filled era or not, Pet beat Russell's Celtics, which is a of lot more impressive than losing toI'd have KG over Barkley, other than that
Malone is one of the most overrated players of all time
Here's my list. Top 5 PF.
1. Johnson
2. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
3. Mr. Whipple from the Charmin Commercials
4. Doc Holliday
5. Captain Caveman (tie)
5. Evil Kenevil (tie)
Underrated, IMO. Good pick.
Dirk being #2 is absolutely ridiculous
So yall s are telling me that this championship completely wipes out his numerous previous shortcomings and takes him from probably not even being in the Top 5, to being #2?
What puts him over KG, the fact that he has a Finals MVP? Because lets be honest, when you take into account both defense and offense KG played just as big of a role in the Celtics winning in 08' as Dirk did in the Mavs winning this season.
1.TD
2.Malone
3.KG
4.Barkley/Dirk...unsure.
why wouldnt it you fat ?
Webber is really underrated imo. He along with TD and KG were the premier PFs during the early-mid 00s, and his Kings were the Lakers and Spurs biggest compe ion out West. Dirk was a tier below as were his Mavs. I wouldnt put him above Dirk now, but prior to Dirk ringing this year I probably wouldve. That doesnt get the credit he deserves imho. If it wasnt for David Stern he would probably have a ring during the Shakobe and Duncan era, which is really impressive.
Because hes been, at best, an average defender and rebounder his entire career while the players above him have excelled in those areas? I always find it hilarious that yall s talk smack about Spurs fans being homers, yet every single Mavfan here always conveniently overlooks that part of Dirk's game and how it stacks up against other all-time great PFs.
Karl Malone's playoff career was nothing but blunders, but you're on that guy's . Is it because Dirk is white? Or because .463 played for the Lakers one season?
Lol. Damn. I pegged for you for a Malone fanboy.
putting Webber over Dirk while bringing up shortcomings
Dumbest list ever
To his credit, CWebb dresses really well on his TV appearances.
I also find it hilarious that you conveniently overlook Dirk's Finals MVP and how it stacks up with the all time greats after DuncanBecause hes been, at best, an average defender and rebounder his entire career while the players above him have excelled in those areas? I always find it hilarious that yall s talk smack about Spurs fans being homers, yet every single Mavfan here always conveniently overlooks that part of Dirk's game and how it stacks up against other all-time great PFs.
yeah his obvious jealousy towards Dirk when he's brought up is awesome to watch.
God damn
Anyone who has Webber near the top 5 PFs of all time should kill himself.
Webber is underrated, because of the timeout and the lack of a championship. At his best, only Duncan, O'Neal, Garnett, McGrady and Bryant, were better than him. He doesn't have the length of Duncan and Garnett and wasn't the defensive presence they were, but offensively, he was the only other big who could do virtually everything.
But longevity matters, as do accomplishments and Nowitzki has him beat on both counts, which is why I give Nowitzki the edge. I had Nowitzki as the fifth best PF of all time before the championship and I have him there after it, because he didn't suddenly became a more complete player just because he has a championship.
1. Duncan, 2. Malone, 3. Garnett, 4. Barkley, 5. Nowitzki
I don't see how anyone could rank Nowitzki ahead of Malone, Garnett or Barkley. And no one ever did up until the past few months. But now, Nowitzki is benefiting from revisionist history to nearly the extent Bryant is.
It's most inexplicable that people could say he's better than Garnett, considering they played in the same era, had their primes intersect for a large stretch of that and no one, outside of some Mavs homers, ever claimed Nowitzki was on Garnett's level, let alone above him. Now, because Nowitzki has a championship as the undisputed go-to guy on his team, that's all forgotten? Garnett is vastly superior at everything, save for range shooting.
IMO Duncan, Dirk and KG are the clear top 3 because of length (with Duncan as the #1 and it's close between Dirk and KG). Malone and Barkley wouldn't have been nearly as dominant if they were in an era with other long, athletic power forwards. Does anyone see a 6'4" PF winning MVP in today's NBA like Barkley did in the early 90's?
He wonders why you haven't called.
That looks like someone Cully would have tied up in his basement
malone was da true legend tbh the prime malone would have pwned dirk or duncan with ease. dude turned a coat tailer in his late years, however, dude joined LA for minimum which definitely counts against him imho even though he didn't achieve that goal
