Kevin mchale is underrated. That silky post move was so hard to defend
Kevin McHale had the best foot work I've ever seen.
McHale would have scored more but he played with Larry Legend although Birds passing helped him too.
@@MikeJones-rk1un right and right ! The amazing thing about him is that he came off the bench half of his career and did the things he did.
Kevin McHale is so underrated. Many people prefer players who are more spectacular, but Kevin was extremely efficiente.
listing guys like AD, Giannis to PF is tough considering today's NBA is positionless. Also, PF position can differ significantly depend on who's the running mate at C. KG, Barkley, Malone never played with a true center for an extensive time yet still performed well.
This list does not take into consideration the amount of rings Kevin McHale has.
Well what do you want to do, if you leave guys like Giannis and AD out, than you have to let out someone like Tim Duncan as well, who played more games as a center in his career than as a pf (btw he played only as c before entering the nba).
And if you leave them all out the list is just bs, it’s like not talking about anyone for a specific position novadays since it isn’t such a strict line anymore as before, for example leaving Steph curry out in a top 10 pointguard list, bs
He won 3.
The first one was his rookie year, he averaged 4ppg in the finals that year.
The second ring he average 13ppg and 6 rebounds.
The third one he was the second best player on the team.
He gets too much credit for “leading his team to 3 championships”
Right!! Tim Duncan for the win
Charles Barkley
Barkley in his prime was better than any power forward ever. And he didn't have John Stockton or Tony Parker feeding him.
I completely agree. People just don't réalisé what a Monster he is
Chuck is much better than Malone .his much versatile and much unstoppable
Let 'em KNOW
@@sonnypayongayong9670 he was . That's true
So they don't have a Point guard?How sad,so it 5 vs 4 game?....
Terrible list.
Who would you put up there then?
@@secularZoo AD street clothes should not be on this list
I would say he got the list right, but in awful order.
I thought you had hundreds of thousands of subs but only 1.5k?! you deserve more! great video keep the good work!
Sorry bro but Kevin McHale and Barkley are top 5
Duncan
Malone
KG
Barkley
McHale/Giannis
Dirk was not a good defender, to slow..Giannis is still to young to put in top 5 but should surpass McHale and Barkley in a couple of years
Barkley number one son. . easy.
I Lol hard when you put AD over McHale.
Disney ring is 10x better than any ring
AD should not b in the top ten

I don't know how to rank 8-10, but one thing is for sure, Rodman should be here replacing AD.
giannis will not surpass Tim Duncan
@@maxjulianthegreat313 (will usurp one or all of the top three) it is still hypothetical. He already has one more MVP than KG and Dirk, one DPOY same as KG. The only lacking now are the all NBA selection and defensive team. This accolades are on par with TD.
He need 5 more rings to surpass TD
And I didn't mention dirk or kg
@@maxjulianthegreat313 then he gets 4 MVPs, another DPOY, multiple 1st team all NBA, 1st team all defense. If he gets another 2 rings I'd say he will pass him. At 27 yo, he has another 4 to 5 years on his peak before his athleticism wears off.
i stop watching when AD appears on the Vid 🤦
we all know who the best will be in 10 years from now
Giannis Antetokounmpo should be top 3 already... His freakish athleticism and mentality, plus his ability to guard all five positions is just too much for number 5.
Not just that... Giannis's accolades already top 3 calliber for all-time pf
he will be at the end of his career
@@accountant3847 Top 2 with ease based on accolades, closer to number 1 than number 3 based on talent and peak
@@badgerstorm2188 True... that's why i got him 2nd
He's small forward
Tim duncan,barkley, malone, olajuwon, antetokuompo, A davis are some of the famous and the best power forward of all time
dirk over kg and malone, dirk is a champion and won finals mvp, no brainer
Kg could have easily won finals mvp in 08. His numbers were better than Truth and he took gasoft out the series.
@@willardweston8984woulda coulda shoulda. Reality is KG has never lead his team to a title as the #1 option. Dirk could have won 2 rings with no superstar on both rosters if the refs didnt gift 20ft per game to Wade
U wild look at they mvp seasons kg clears
I'd still take Prime Barkley over any of these players as he would dominate them. Most efficient and best rebounding PF of all time.
Over Malone and Duncan? No way.
@@dontibbitts9490 He was a lot more skilled than those guys in his prime.
Skilled how. Malone was stronger and bigger and a better passer. Malone and Stockton ran the pick and roll to perfection..Malone and Duncan could shoot better. If we are talking about who has the most raw talent . That would be Shawn Kemp.
1. Tim Duncan
2. Karl Malone
3. Dirk Nowitzki
4. Kevin Garnett
5. Charles Barkley
6. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Tim duncan
Elvin Hayes should seriously be #2 behind Duncan, his numbers are out of this world, he was the original Stretch 4
Davis, Nowitskie, Garnet and Duncan played MORE years in their career as CENTER than PF
Not kg
It's easy. Just ask Sir Charles. Best PF ever is Tim Duncan. Only reason some people disagree is because Tim is so modest and quiet. All he did was win 5 Championships.

Duncan was indeed A 5
How many rings does Malone have?
@@julioperez3437 How many would Duncan in the Jordan era? 🤔
Bob Pettit is underrated. He inspired the term power forward and is clearly the prototype. Strong in all aspects of the game, and few realize that at 16.2 career rpg, he is exceeded only by Chamberlain and Russell.
My all time Starting 5 with a 6 Man,Allen Iverson,Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Charles Barkley,Shaquille O'neal and 6 Man Kobe Bryant
Duncan, Giannis, Barkley, Dirk, Malone... Possibly KG fifth
Malone got 3 finals appearance but good list tho 💪🏾 I got freak 3 ticket or Duncan 1 or 2

nah cuz karl malone has 2 mvps and he is 3rd all time in scoring which are better accolades than giannis, I'd say maybe in the next 3 years he can join karl malone
@@averageafrican1 but lack of rings does him in. Also you could argue he shouldn’t have gotten his 97’ MVP as there was voter fatigue for Jordan that year when Jordan should’ve won. Also scoring just has to do with longevity. Giannis isn’t eclipsing that anytime soon, but the ring, finals MVP, DPOY, and a way better all around play places Giannis over Malone imo. Also having the same amount of MVPs as well
They would have kicked Anthony Davis of the 80's Celtics
Timmy Duncan is my man.

Kevin Garnett never scored more than 40 Points in a playoff game.
& what does that prove/mean?????
People make the dumbest arguments
@@willardweston8984 Especially in the sports circles.
Umm what does that mean
Interesting: I thought the Worm would make top ten. Dope list, nonetheless.
Not in this era of inflated stats and no appreciation for defense.
People don't really watch the game they watch Box Scores and pay more attention to video game rankings.
Dennis should be Top 5
What he bring to teams made them Dynasties Piston & Bulls
Even the Spurs!! 💪🏾💯
@@Peakfreud TRUE... People say I'm crazy when i say big ben 2nd top player after billups in 2004 pistons squad (yes i got big ben > rip & rasheed)
The worm was only a role player and an extraordinary role player at that. However he is not a franchise player like these guys. Im a big fan of rodman that is why i chose his number as my jersey number
@@accountant3847 Yep, I've noticed that Casual Basketball Fans watch the game differently
Their eyes are trained to follow the Ball, all other movement, positioning
And nuance that takes place before the ball goes in the Basket is irrelevant to them.
I played college ball, and the player
That caused me the most difficulty didn't score a lot, but what he did do was cause me a lot of Fatigue he would run me for 3qts endlessly (a good shooter)
Then the coach would sub him out
For a player that excelled at getting to the rim and I had no legs to jump with him in the 4th.
On paper it looked like I held two players to 16 points, but 10 of those would be dunks on my head.
I remember students would say, they should play him more, he kicked your Azz in the 4th.
In my mind I was like no he didn't
His teammate on the bench should get 5 assist, for running full speed non stop for 3 quarters.
But they were in the stands they couldn't feel the burn and fatigue
The slight slowing of fast twitch muscles. No matter who you are or how well you're conditioned
Fresh Legs are Fresh Legs.
Our starting P.G went pro, I witness the same happen to him.. it's also how injuries occur.
Twice a Year we played them, and it wasn't until my Jr yr that the coach figured it out, I didnt give feedback because I didn't want to come out the game.
There’s no way prime Barkley isn’t top three, and I’d argue top one, Tim Duncan although a great power forward, did have plenty of talent around him his entire career, especially in the beginning, he literally had a top five center in David Robinson next to him which took plenty of pressure off of him, imo Barkley is definitely top three at least, at six foot four, he was unstoppable
boy stop. timmy won roty and then and nba title his 2nd year jordan n kobe didn’t win till they were 25 after 5 years playing timmy has most consecutive playoff appearances his team has most nba wins, and spurs have a winning record vs everybody in the nba against allllllll team no other club has that, it was timmys team w out him there would be no spurs dominance
His prime didnt last enough though, it says in history, wich means that the total carreer counts not the 5best years ...

@@aztainegen7283 KG was a better defender nothing else. Barkley was a better rebounder. A lot of his rebounding titles were lost to people like Moses Malone and Dennis Rodman. Pound for pound besides Rodman Barkley is the best rebounder and he was only 6'5. I seen both play on TV and live many times. At Barkley's best peak he was the best power forward after Tim Duncan.

DUNCAN, GIANNIS, KARL, KG, DIRK, AD, BARKLEY, MCHALE,
Pascal Siakam is the most underrated power foward in the NBA

His preferred numbers are on a clock

How come nobody talks about Tim Duncan beat undefeated in the finals but Ray Allen made that 3 like no power forward ever did that
Dennis Rodman should definitely be top 10
IMO Dennis is top 5!
But overall your list Suck’s 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️💯
I agree, Rodman should be in the list... Anthony Davis out
switch Giannis and Malone and this list is a lot better
Nowitzki (you could have pronounced it correctly) is ahead KG and probably Karl Malone. He didn´t have Stockton, Tony Parker, GInobili, etc. by his side. Barkley was the opposite to Mamba mentality, he had amazing teammates (Moses Malone, Julius Erving, Maurice Cheeks in Sixers, Kevin Johnson, Tom Chambers, Dan Majerle in Suns, Pippen, Drexler, Olajuwon in Rockets) and he couldn´t win.
SUNS Squad indeed was LOADED!!!! SIXERS Squad was old when Chuck got there and of all you mentioned.....only Cheeks played yrs w/Chuck! ROCKETS Squad was way beyond their Prime including Chuck!!!
I’m sorry but his defense and athleticism is no where near Malone or KG. It’s amazing that he won a ring but keep in mind KG always had a trash team in Minnesota during his prime and Malone played in Jordan era
What about Rasheed wallace
Once I saw Ad on list bogus 😂😂
I couldn't watch this after number 9
dirk should be higher than kg
The biggest misconception in NBA history is that Duncan was a power forward ( spent almost his entire career at the 5 when Robinson retired ) and Malone is a power forward ( played like 20 games as power forward )..
What was Malone´s position then? Guard?
@@julioperez3437 center
Duncan was A 5
Malone(Karl) is A 4
Malone 100% a 4. They had mark eaton and Greg ostertag playing center.
I get what you are saying. Malone took on guys like David Robinson and Alonzo Morning
Giannini is a center. So is AD. A o was Duncan after Robi son retired. My favorite power FORWZRD is Maurice Lucas.

@@pepsta Not in the playoffs.
In no particular order...duncan dirk garnett giannis barkley malone hayes rodman mchale webber..
Are we judging based on NBA career or ability? Because while the names would probably remain the same, the order would be different for each. Example: Petit would be top 5 in terms of career, but probably not in the top 10 based on ability (sorry, old school). Meanwhile, Garnet would be top 5 in terms of ability, but not in terms of career accomplishments.
Thought you did a pretty good job trying to wed the two.
Dirk is second only to Duncan.
And wonder what he would have accomplished if he had the likes of Robinson Parker Gino and Kawhi in his team
Foh!!! He was only elite on one side of the ball lol
I think your Top 5 is a Joke. Tim Duncan on Nr. 1 is okay for me. But Karl Malone on 2, Kevin Garnett on 3 and Dirk Nowitzki only on 4? Come on. Dirk Nowitzki is clearly the second best Power Forward All Time.

you cannot put karl malone over dirk when malone couldnt win a championship with a top 5 pointguard of all time but dirk did it with not one other all star on his team
Jason kidd and Shawn marion were all stars and that team won 57 games
Bruh... Kidd and Marion werent all stars in 2011....
They weren't in 2011...but both those players had been all stars multiple times..cause they weren't that year, does not negate their accomplishments...Dallas is not the only team to win a title with only 1 player making the all star team...there has been 11 and I don't really think that makes a difference anyway...it's about your teams health and chemistry

Dirk is the greatest shooting big man ever
Rasheed Wallace not on the list ?

Base on rings You're right.
tim duncan was a center. he only played pf because david robinson played center
Giannis is better than Dirk, Karl Malone and Garnet. It’s just those guys played longer than him.
