If it was agreed that Tim Ducan was a C, Who would then be the GOAT Power Foward?

KG

IMO was the main guy on that 08 championship team (had a better playoffs than Pierce, arguably Finals as well)

pretty close, all four guys are top 25 in my book

**RoundMoundOfReb** · 07-14-2012, 10:11 PM

I prefer Barkley but it really is a close call.

**I LUV KOBE** · 07-14-2012, 11:29 PM

Barkley - primes, peak
Malone - longevity, consistency
KG - defense, 1 ring
Dirk - clutch, 1 ring

hmm hard to choose... Duncan had all of them except maybe longevity..

**joeyjoejoe** · 07-15-2012, 12:43 AM

Id go malone then barkley, garnett, dirk

**fsvr54** · 07-15-2012, 12:47 AM

Garnett for the all around game.

Don't see how people don't choose Dirk, he carried his team to a championship as the #1, something all the others couldn't do and he didn't have a single all-star on his team.

Looking back makes what he did even more amazing, especially considering how he beat the Heat with Wade playing like his 09-10 self.

edit: BTW these are the averages for all 3 guys:

Garnett: 19/10.6/4/1.3/1.5
Dirk:23/8/2.5/1/1
Barkley:22/12/4/1.5/.8
Malone:25/10/3.5/1.5/.8

saw this on hardwood classics! What an underrated performence! That post game and will to win

**jalbert009** · 07-15-2012, 01:38 AM

Barkley = Offense
Garnett = Defense
Malone Longetivity
Dirk = Shooting

People will have different opinions depending on what they value more. All these guys were first options on their teams and made deep playoff runs. All of them were multiple all stars and all NBA teams. Only Dirk won a ring without all-star help.

Here is my ranking on these guys.

#1 Kevin Garnett
NBA Champion (2008)
NBA Most Valuable Player (2004)
NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2008)

KG does it all. Elite Defense, Elite rebounding, Good passer, Good scorer and Great Longetivity. It was unfortunate he was on the wolves as he never had a good supporting cast except in 2004 and took them to the WCF but lost due to injuries to other key players.

#2 Charles Barkley
NBA Most Valuable Player (1993)

Most unstoppable of the 3 IMO on the offensive side but his Defense is average at best. His offense and rebounding was Elite.

#3 Karl Malone
2

Barkley...The Most Dominant Powerforward Ever

Garnett is the choice.

KG avergaed 25+ ppg for a playoff series only twice.

Karl Malone's entire career po average 26.3
Dirk Nowitzki's entire career po average 25.9
Barkley averaged 25+ ppg for a playoff series 11 times.

How 'bout that?

**howlin_wolf** · 07-15-2012, 06:42 AM

I'm going with Dirk. Only one to put a team on his shoulders and win it all, most unique player of them all, most loyal to his franchise BUT can be a nonfactor on defensive end. Still, we've seen his great team d when he had a decent center next to him.

**miles berg** · 07-15-2012, 10:28 AM

Dirk or Barkley, basically a toss up.

**goldcrow** · 07-15-2012, 10:38 AM

I'm going to have to go with Dirk for single-handedly carrying his teams to the playoffs year-in year-out (well he had help on some years, but no all-star help) and that championship in '11. It's a toss up with these four having arguments over the other.
