The NBA's Top Five Power Forwards

[angelbelow]

pretty good list.

[dbreiden83080]

Have you never seen TD miss some easy layups in crucial playoff games? Hasn't he had some "off" nights and seasons? I've seen plenty of cursing here about his seeming loss of focus in big games.

Did you actually just attempt to trash Tim Duncan's playoff career??

By all means tell me what playoff game Duncan lost the Spurs because his head was in the clouds??

Anyone who whines on this forum about Duncan having an off night here and there and trashes him because of it, is just a selfish fan with no appreciation for the man. He has brought 4 rings to SA, Duncan has nothing left to prove to anyone, he is already a legend. KG will never be mentioned along with TD, not a chance in the world.

Power Forwards are no longer the enforcers of the league. And Tim is the best power forward of this era or any era.

[manufor3]

accurate

[Ghazi]

even after le still think dirk is better than KG.

[mystargtr34]

even after le still think dirk is better than KG.

Thats a far point.

Dirk is far more reliable in the clutch than KG and is a tougher cover.

KG is the better rebounder, defender and passer though.

KG is a better all around player than Dirk, TD owns them both

[Manufan909]

I might have to go with Dirk for 2nd, because he is so much more clutch, and he can just plain shoot from anywhere, plus he led a team to the NBA Finals, KG was 2nd fiddle to Pierce.

[Spurtacus]

Duncan has earned everything he has gotten in this league. Without Duncan, we wouldn't have one championship much less 4! Duncan is a winner, plain and simple, and people are going to miss him when he retires.There will never be another Tim Duncan. How can you ask any more from the guy then what he has given? Honestly, some posters on here act like he hasn't done anything and he is just some scrub. The difference between KG and Duncan is that Duncan is never satisfied with what he has and he has carried the team for many seasons winning championships in the process. KG has yet to prove he can carry a team and win a championship, and don't tell me he carried Boston in the playoffs this year. Any moron would have to be blind to see that Pierce carried them.

duncan is no longer the best forward in the league anymore....he is slighty above avg...i hate to say it, but dirk is a much better player right now...duncan has problems making layups, dirk can hit from anywhere......and lets not talk defense cos our defense this past season was the worst ive seen in yrs.....ive never seen duncan get alley-ooped on as much at last season, i expect it to get worst before better, with this current roster, and btw, kurt thomas is a waste of time, just like mighty mouse,id rather have rasho he's as slow as kurt but by just raising his arms makes him better

If you think Dirk is the new prototypical PF of the NBA you MUST be ing young. Dirk is a freakishly tall guard who happens to be listed at PF (I think) and thats all. Go back and look at REAL PF's and you will See Tim is the man at PF even though, IMHO, he should NOW be classified as a Center since Oberto obviously has no ballsack whatsoever....

Some Spurs fans have gotten a little bit spoiled and now think that championship teams are a given rather than something that takes time to build.

And a HUGE part of the 4 championships that we've gotten is Tim Duncan. For any Spurs fan to say that he's not the best PF now and maybe of all time shows that they really don't know what they've been treated to for the past decade.

Timmy Pumpkin is not the #1 PF in the league, Amare is, followed by Garnett.
