Ranking the Top 10 NBA Power Forwards of All Time

i'm happy that Dirk is finally getting the praise that he deserves. He is truely one of the most under rated player of all time.

I really enjoyed your list.. the only issue for me was AD, the guy is an amazing talent but the same way you said Garnett couldn’t win for awhile on those twolves teams the same can be said for AD dude only made the playoffs twice in his career before he won that ring with Lakers.. great vid though

Tim Duncan. The greatest Power forward ever. Period.

I'm gonna get shit on, but there's some super underrated Power Forwards that are typical "Glue Guys" that I think deserve discussion. Dennis Rodman and Draymond Green are the first two that come to mind. Guys that can't score a lick but literally do everything else at an elite level, and often times are the reasons why their teams win tough games. I can't begin to explain how impressive it was to see Dennis play #2 to Jordan when Pippen got hurt, grabbing sometimes upwards of 20 rebounds a game while guarding the best player. And don't get me started on Playoff Draymond, who is another beast entirely. He deservedly gets shit for his persona, but if you watched the Olympics, you would recognize his greatness. That team was flatlining every time he was off the floor, and was a well-oiled machine when he's on. The Gold Medal game was perhaps the most impactful 0 pts 0 shots taken performance I've seen. He's top 3 in Playoff Triple Doubles behind Magic and Lebron. And he revolutionized the way people play defense in the modern era by being able to switch 1-5. Give these dudes some flowers too.

Fun fact: Giannis won his first chip at a younger age (26) than when MJ won his first chip (28). NOT comparing them as players but putting that into perspective truly shows how much Giannis has accomplished so far in the league at his age.

Giannis easily has the accomplishments to be top 5, his resume is already crazy at 26

McHale put people in the torture chamber lol. He worked people with the up an under.

Dennis Rodman - 5x NBA Champion - 2x Defensive Player of the Year - 7x rebounding champion He's one of the most unique athletes in the history of the game. He could guard and disrupt any teams star player. Every position 1-5 from Magic to Shaq. He always hustled and seemed to have better cardio than everyone else on the court. He's the most skilled rebounder of all time and probably the best when you take into account his size. Basketball is not always about scoring. If your team has 1-2 scoring options then Dennis did everything else to ensure the Win. And it goes without saying that his off the court antics and personality are legendary at this point. He spent some time as a small forward in Detroit so maybe thats why he's not on this list... but he deserves it... especially over someone like Petit (who's a LEGEND!). But you don't take Petit over Rodman when choosing between the two.

I do think that Giannis deserves to be top 3 even though a lot of people disagree because he is still in the league but that’s just how good he is so we can’t discredit his accomplishments just because he is still playing also I make videos as well

Great video. Excellent analysis. You gave Nowitzki his due. I remember the 2003 finals. You were right, Parker didn't get the job done. A backup guard named Speedy Claxton saved the Spurs. Parker wouldn't play well, in came Claxton, and the Spurs won. He should have won MVP, but he wasn't such a famous player. Then in 2005 and on Parker had matured and didn't need a backup. Claxton got some good contracts for playing so well in the 2003 finals, but I don't think he did much!

Waiting for the Giannis “hot take”

100% correct! Giannis is the most accomplished 26 year old in the history of basketball! he has the chance to surpass Duncan in the future and not just him!

I love Giannis to death but I’d still put Garnett and Dirk ahead of him. Giannis’ peak these last five years (27-11-5) has been incredible. And he’s just entering his prime seasons which is scary. It’s gonna take a lot to catch Tim Duncan, but I think he has the intangibles, drive and talent to get to that level.

If giannis stays healthy for at least another 12 years there is no doubt in my mind he can be a top 5 player of all time

C Webb deserves a spot on here, especially over Pau. He would be a champ if it weren’t for those damn refs.

Love to see the Dirk recognition. He did more with less, and he's got a finals mvp to back up his case, kept some very weak mavs teams always in contention, no hate on KG, but this is the correct ranking.

So glad i have Pau Gasol some love. Truly underrated.
