    There's literally no way Kevin Garnett isn't in the top 5 power forwards of all time...let's be serious here.

    lemme get that thread moved to the Biosphere or the GNS

    Even tho he didn't win a chip Karl Malone is. He imbodied the definition of a power forward and put up numbers for a long time. woulda had 2 rings if it wasn't for the greatest shooting guard ever. People that say Duncan should realize he's just a glorified center imitating a PF

    Barkley is the most skilled PF imo, dude can dribble, post you up, hit the three and was a beast on the boards. Dude was just in the wrong era, i doubt Duncan would have the rings and mvps in Jordans era either.

    that and his playstyle still a great player though

    Duncan had 4 rings in the Shaq/Kobe era... The 02-03/04-05 Spurs team would have beaten the 90-91/97-98 Bulls team.

    ? slap yourself. The Spurs (Parker and Ginobli) wouldn't even be able to dribble the ball up the court with Pippen and Jordans ball pressure. Rodman would control the boards

    still aint convinced that a center playing the four gets the nod. and if david robinson wasnt there when he was drafted he might of had no chips but if if's was a fifth right?

    Yes they would... And Bowen would be all over Jordan... Especially 98 Jordan when they almost lost to the Pacers... Jordan would still get his numbers but he wouldn't do Bowen like he did Russell... Also we had a deeper bench in 05 and a old Rodman could not guard a Prime Duncan... Pop and Phil cancels out... 02-03 vs 90-91 is a 7 game series... 04-05 would beat 97-98 in 6.

    And I know you ? didnt even watch Duncan( Spurs in general) like that even when he was in his prime... There's a reason Barkley was easily calling him the GOAT PF before he even won his third ring... Duncan even now is putting numbers up but yall wouldn't know it unless they are playing the Lakers/Heat/OKC or if the Spurs are in the playoffs.

    Might as well rename this "The Big Fundamental Appreciation Thread". Tim Duncan is one of the greatest players the world has ever seen.

    Karl Malone or Kevin Garnett if we're talking skill-wise. If you do the whole accomplishments over everything list then it's probably Russell followed by Duncan.

    the way he was treating Shaq in the 2003 playoffs maybe he should be but I'd say no. kareem, Bill Russle, Hakeem, Moses Malone and Shaq probably got that but I might put Timmy somewhere between 7 and 10
