NBA Best at their position Part 4: Power Fowards



This is part four of five of the best NBA players at their position. the NBA is loaded with talented power forwards. this was pretty difficult to pick the top ten in the game with so many established ones, and new up and coming ones that have surpassed older names. though once these two retire they will be others that may surpass them (after of course some accolades.) Here they are:



1a. Kevin Garnett (KG, The Big Ticket): always gives 110 percent on the floor, can shoot has range , good shot blocker MVP of the league, can lead a team, the best post moves and fakes around the basket, will have a great season with the Celtics, 20,10,5,2, can i say anymore?


1b. Tim Duncan (Timmy, TD): A champion, knows all angles of the court, can lead a team, decent jump shot, great shot blocker, 2 time MVP, Finals MVP, not a good free throw shooter, decent clutch player. great rebounder.


3a. Dirk Nowitzki (re-dirkulous, German Assassin): MVP of the league last year, best shooting player in the game, has extensive range, can score from anywhere in the court, ok shot blocker, ok defender, ok passer, lacks Killer instinct, decent post moves, decent rebounder.


3b. Amare Stoudemire (Standing tall and talented [S.T.A.T.]): relentless scorer, most athletic power forward in the game even after micro fracture surgery, almost un-guardable around basket, ok shot blocker, decent free throw shooter. Will be a better shooter as time goes on.


5. Jermaine O'Neal (JO) : good scorer, great rebounder, has been injury prone, good free throw shooter, transformed into a great shot blocker. great post moves around the basket. can be leader of a team.


6. Rasheed Wallace (Son-Ra, 'Sheed): A Champion, has a killer instinct to win, can score from anywhere on the court, developed in to a good 3pt shooter, good shot blocker, great defender, foul prone, can lead a team. emotions can slow him down, and build him up.


7. Carlos Boozer (Booze) : the future, emerging into a great power forward, can score and can rebound, not a great defender, or shot blocker, sometimes inconsistent, but has time and age to become an elite forward.


8. Chris Bosh (CBosh): An emerging forward, can shoot has range, will become an elite forward, has a bright future, can give you 20 and 10, a decent defender, could work on shot blocking.


9. Lamar Odom (LO7): Versatile forward, can give you 15, 10, and five assists, doesn't have a post game , can play and handle like a point guard for his size (6'10") decent defender, not a clutch performer, injury prone, has slowed him down.


10. Antawn Jamison: Another Versatile forward, can score from anywhere on the court, not a great defender or shot blocker, an ok rebounder, decent free throw shooter.



There are the top four PF's in the league who are just on another level, those four are really the best overall forwards in the game as well. Each of those top four forwards has an innate ablility that puts them in a category of four. (or 1a&b and 2a&b). And for the fools on NBA.com who put Steve Nash over Kidd, Kidd just got another Triple Double yesterday 16,14,10.
