Where would you rank Chris Webber in terms of all time PF's?

At this moment I'm convinced Aldridge is the goat. /upsethomerrant

 

Poor Dirk. Completely forgotten.

 

For the ENTIRE history of the league... off the top of my head, I'd say prob in the 25-30 range....

 

Dirk and McHale

 

Shouldn't there be two Malones? Or was Moses a C?

a top ten list:

I used to find his angry face after every made basket stupid.

 

Bottom of the top 10 I think. Just going off the top of my head.

 

Where the **** is Dirk on that list?
Also not even top 10. Overrated, soft, inefficient, choker.

 

A Houston forum where Elvin Hayes isn't mentioned???? Be ashamed.

 

CWebb was really good but there have been a lot of very good power forwards.

I wouldn't take him over Duncan, The Big E, Mailman, Chuckles, McHale, KG, Dirk

I think Blake, LMA, Love, Unibrow will pass him if they continue

Question is, do u take him over Sheed?
Rodman?

 

he'll be in the no ring category. forgettable.

 

He deserves mention, but let's ease up on mentioning McHale. At least until the next game?

 

Webber was kinda soft, not a great defender, and had a reputation for disappearing in big games. Probably top 25. There's a lot of players that I'd at least consider taking over him in their prime for a championship push, even though they may not be as well known or produce great of stats over a career (such as Rasheed Wallace, ZBo, Jermaine O'Neal, Pau Gasol, etc.)

 

I am a former Kings fan and seen enough of Webber's games to make a valid assessment. I think he's on the same boat with Griffin; I don't know about Love...certainly not on the same boat as Aldridge. Aldrige is a hell of a shooter. Chris Webber's shooting take is streaky at best. There are times he missed and brink tons of shots. But his much better at backing down and doing that hook shots. He's excellent in terms of rebound due to having big hands almost like Randolph.

 

talent wise webber was up there. but injuries and a bad attitude at times held him back a little. he's a great tv personality though.

 

Whenever I rank NBA players I use 1980 as the starting point as that is the earliest I feel I can go back and compare all players. Onto the ranking.

Chris Webber falls into the top list of great power forwards who carried or co-carried their teams in their prime. This list includes.

Kevin McHale
James Worthy
Karl Malone
Charles Barkley
Shawn Kemp
Chris Webber
Kevin Garnett
Tim Duncan
Dirk Nowitzki
Pau Gasol

So we can begin with placing Chris Webber in the top 10. Now who can we clearly say was better than Webber? For me that would include McHale, Malone, Barkley, Duncan and Garnett. That taker Webber out of the top 5. So I think a fair comment would be to say he is somewhere between 5 and 10 when it comes to best PF's of all time. I wouldn't include Love and Griffin just yet because they are still in their first 5 years or so in the league. Aldridge is an interesting one as he now has 8 full seasons under his belt but I think what he does in the next 3-5 years which will most likely be the remainder of his prime years will determine if he breaks into the top 10. At best right now he's a Rasheed Wallace type and he didn't crack my top 10. But he has the potential to move up.

 

Let's not forget he should have a ring if not for fishy officiating

 

One thing about Webber: I would be fine calling him the best passing PF ever. Webber, Miller and Divac allowed Adelman to play that "Princeton" offense.

James Worthy was not a power forward. It was mainly Kurt Rambis then later AC Green.

 

Elvin Hayes should be on these lists, and a pretty good case could be made for Dennis Rodman.
