1. The ranking of historical power forwards is as follows:
10. dennis rodman
No matter what era, he is a first-class rebounder. 14 won the title of rebounding king for seven consecutive years from 199 1-92 to 1997-98. Before winning three championships for Chicago Bulls, he had won two championship diamond rings for Detroit Pistons. Rodman averaged 7.3 points per game in his career (shooting percentage was 52. 1%), but he was able to grab 13. 1 rebound and send out 1.3 assists. For two consecutive seasons, 1989- 1990 and 199 1 won the best defensive player award back-to-back, and was selected as the best defensive team for eight times, including seven times in the first team. He was also twice selected as an All-Star and the best team in the league (three teams).
9. Dirk Nowitzki
In his career, he averaged 22.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals, while his shooting percentage was as high as 47. 1%, his shooting percentage from three-pointers was 38% and his shooting percentage from free throws was 87%. He's a big guy. In addition, he is the only European player in NBA history who won the MVP in the regular season. Seven all-stars, eight all-star lineup choices and three all-star lineup choices made him fully qualified.
Although he has never won the championship, he is only 30 years old, and they have entered the finals, which also shows Nowitzki's strength.
8. Dave de Bscher
Debusschere is undoubtedly a great and powerful striker. Career average 16. 1 points 1 1 rebounds and 3 assists. Although his free throw is not so good, only 69.9%, it is quite good for an inside player. During his 12 career, he was selected as an All-Star eight times.
Debusschere's nickname is "Big D", because his names all start with D, and he is also good at defense. He was the worst defensive expert of his time. He was selected into the first defensive team six times and helped the new york Knicks win the NBA championship twice.
The terrible thing about debusschere is that he is not just a player. This guy was both a coach and a player of Detroit Pistons in the chaotic 1960s, and also a pitcher of Major League Baseball Chicago White Sox when playing NBA. Although this "three lives" experience won't last long, it is probably enough to prove how powerful he is-because you can't prove how powerful he will be when he focuses on the role of a player.
7. charles barkley
Buckley is probably the best short power forward and the best short rebounding king in history. Career average is 22. 1 minute1.7 rebounds, 4 assists 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks. And his shooting percentage is even more amazing: shooting percentage is 54. 1%, and shooting percentage from free throws is 73.5%. Selected as an NBA All-Star 1 1 times.
He was also selected as the NBA's best team with 1 1 times, including five first-team players. He won the All-Star MVP and the more precious regular season MVP. The only regret is that he can't lead his team to the championship.
6. kevin mchale
Although he is white, he is a big man with excellent defense. He averaged 18 points and 7.3 rebounds in his career, and also sent 1.7 assists 1.7 blocks. His shooting percentage is quite high: 55.4% shooting percentage and 80% shooting percentage from free throws.
Yes, he has a good defense and has always been the top shot blocker in the league. He was selected for the best defensive team six times, including three for the first team. In addition, he was selected as an All-Star seven times, and 1 time was selected as the best team. The most unique thing is that he won the Best Sixth Man Award in succession in 1984 and 1985.
5. karl malone
From a statistical point of view, Malone should be the first person on this list. However, he did not win the championship, so he had to take a back seat.
He averaged 25 points 10. 1 3.6 rebounds 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks. His career total score is second only to Jabbar.
In his long and stable career, Malone 14 was selected as an All-Star and 14 was selected as the best team, among which 1 1 was selected as the first team of the best team. He also won two All-Star MVPs and two regular season MVPs. It can be said that Malone won all the awards except the championship.
4. Elvin Hayes
Hayes has always been underestimated. His career total score, shooting percentage, total rebounds and total playing time can rank in the top ten in the history of the league. Career average is 2 1 minute 12.5 rebounds 1.8 assists 1 steals. 16 In his career, 12 was selected as a star player.
Hayes' greatness is mainly reflected in his stability. In his career, he only missed nine games and played more than 80 games every season. He was selected for the best team in the league six times, including three for the first team. The tenacious Hayes led the Washington Bullets to win the championship in the 1977-78 season.
3. bob pettit
Petit is the first dominant power forward in the league. His career average of 26.4 points 16.2 rebounds and 3 assists is not enough to show his greatness. Even if you add 1 1 all-star record (his career is only 1 1 year) and 1 1 best team record (10 first team record), it won't work. Maybe you will say that he won the All-Star MVP four times and the regular-season MVP twice, becoming the first player to score 20,000 points in NBA history, but unfortunately, this is not enough to show his greatness.
Petit's greatness lies in that when the whole league was ruled by Boston Celtics, he led the St. Louis Hawks to break through the haze of green terror by averaging 50 points per game. Also won the respect of bill russell.
Kevin Garnett
Garnett is the most comprehensive big man in history. He is an excellent scorer, an excellent rebounder, and has a very high standard in passing and defense. In the current 13 season, he has averaged 20.4 points 1 1.2 rebounds and can also send 4.4 assists 1.4 steals 1.7 blocks. He won the best defensive player, regular season MVP and all-star MVP. Last season, he just led the team to beat Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers and won the NBA championship.
He was selected to the All-Star Team for 9 times, including 4 first-team players and 1 1 times. Garnett is considered as one of the best defensive power forwards. He has been selected to the best defensive team nine times, including seven times in the first team of the best defensive team.
The 32-year-old Garnett still has a few years of golden age, and his merit book will undoubtedly become even more dazzling.
1. tim duncan
Even if the greatest 10 player in NBA history is selected, Duncan will be selected. He is one of the best players in history who scored, defended and handled the key ball. Career average is 2 1.6 points,1.8 rebounds, 3. 1 assists and 2.4 blocks, which is amazing.
In addition, Duncan 1 1 was selected as the best team in the league, and 9 teams were selected as the first team in the league. More importantly, Duncan single-handedly created the Spurs Dynasty, winning four championships in nine years, and he himself became the MVP of the finals three times. Of course, he also won the regular season MVP twice and the All-Star MVP in 2000. In a word, Duncan's achievements are enough to go down in history.
Second, the league's strongest small forwards are ranked as follows:
1. larry bird
In the position of small forward, the first throne was given to Bird. Compared with other excellent small forwards, his talent is not high, his bounce is not excellent, his explosive power is not very strong, his speed is not very fast, and even his three-pointer is not very accurate, so his personal defense ability is not flattering. If that's all, it's good that he can play as a substitute in NBA. But bird is a special case. Although his three-pointers are not the most accurate in the history of the league, no one can play more steadily than him at the final decisive moment. Due to physical limitations, his one-on-one defense was once criticized, so he integrated himself well into the overall defense, and his role in the team could not be finished in one or two sentences. Bird has a good sense of rhythm and makes good use of the time difference. He always shoots accurately in the right position, his passing is unbelievable, and his rebounding is not inferior to that of power forward. More importantly, his super psychological quality makes him often help the team out of danger.
2. Pippen
He is a versatile person, whether it is a half-court attack or a hand tour, it is no problem for him. He can cope with any situation on the court and he can understand any tactics. He is an important part of the bull triangle attack. The birth of the Bull Dynasty is not only Jordan's desire on the offensive end, but also Pippen's impregnability on the defensive end. From number one to number three, he can silence his opponent. Pippen on the court is the core of the team's defense, and the team's defense surrounds him. He controls defensive strategies such as rotation and transposition, double-team and joint defense. His presence keeps the Bulls balanced.
3. Owen
Gravity can't seem to limit his flight. When he rushed into the basket, everyone held their breath to see how he ended the flight. Every game he can let us see new wonderful pictures, and his existence greatly challenges our imagination. He is the originator of modern dunk. Owen's excellent bounce gives him an advantage in rebounding. He is not only a natural scorer, but also an excellent passer. He can get his teammates into the game as soon as possible. Of course, he is not perfect. His three-point shooting rate is not high, with an average of less than 30%. His defense is not very good, and his left hand can't shoot.
4. Haystack
Barrie
He is a natural scorer. In the 1966- 1967 season, he stood out with an average of 35.6 points per game. He can score in any position and his shooting percentage is amazing. What he was praised most was his free throw. Although he is ugly, his shooting percentage is amazing, with a career shooting percentage as high as 90%. Rick is also the pioneer of the ball control striker, passing the ball with great accuracy. As the core of the Warriors, Barry won the championship in 75. Barry's defense also frightened his opponent, and his prediction of the ball made him invincible when stealing.
5. Baylor
Baylor's ability to score points in sports warfare is extremely strong. In his 14 career, he averaged 27 points per game, which is not everyone's dream. All the recognized defense experts in the league can't do anything about him. He has a strong desire to attack and rarely passes the ball unless he has no chance to shoot. At the same time, he is also a rebounding monster, averaging 13.5 rebounds per game, which is not easy for a center, let alone a small forward. Despite this, Baylor's defense was criticized. And his casual defensive attitude, ironically, the Lakers won an amazing 33-game winning streak in the season after he retired. However, his scoring talent still made him stand firm in history.
