Neither of them is at the point where they can be the focal of a halfcourt offense. I would take Kevin Love over Blake slightly. Blake is flat out terrible defensively. Kevin Love at least seems to try.
Did you read the article? Neither, because IMO Dirk and LA are both better, and no one ever talks about them.
The article asked which of the 2 was the BEST power forward in the league. Well obviously neither of them are, hence the mentioning of guys who are BETTER than they are. Love is so great, he almost has his team at .500 this year. In his 3rd year in the league, he brought his team all the way to a 17-65 record.
Name me a PF that played the athletic game like Griffin that maintained for more than a few years. Injuries and age take their toll. Think Kemp, McDyess, and Stoudemire.
You realize Stoudemire has been playing for 11 years now right? And he ain't done. How about KG, Josh Smith, Dwight Howard (he is an athletic big man so i included him), Chris Webber did his thing for a long time... Sure injuries can and might take a toll, but to suggest he has 4-5 good years left MAX? That's just crazy...
I realize he just won a title and all, but you guys mentioning Dirk realize that he's already entered his decline phase, right? The championship certainly improves his legacy, but it shouldn't affect his current standing among his peers.
Wow I was looking for a 50/50 split. Its just a matter of time before Blake jumps too high and comes down on an ankle.
You would HAVE to watch basketball to see that Love isn't as good as his stats would indicate. If you didn't watch basketball, you'd think Love was an all-time great.
His team is basically playing .500 ball in the West with a bunch of rookies or young players. He's playing awesome.
I don't like Blake Griffin at all and right now I consider Kevin Love a piece of trash. I'm curious to see how he reacts when asked about what he did to Scola.
Kevin Love is better. Neither is a good defender, but Love is more skilled on offense and a better rebounder.
Aldridge doesn't do video game dunks or put up amazing stats but he's a "go-to" scorer. When the game is on the line you can go to him over and over again. I just love watching bigs that are dependable post scorers, it makes things so easy for everyone else.
