    if you count Vince Carter as a forward (I know KD had him as a guard) he is definitely on it.

    I consider him as a small forward more than a shooting guard. He certainly belongs there as you said.

    I would put Lebron at the top,and Pierce 2nd. Paul had achieved more than McGrady even before KG and Allen joined him. Tracy is 3rd, Melo has made a breakthrough now and might move up on the list. I added VC, Tracy and he are roughly in the same boat IMO. The rest of the list is fine, but I put Finley as a 2 guard. It will be interesting to see how well does KD do in the future.

    This is a tough one, because after the first 5 or so there aren't a whole lot of standout players at the SF position. KD had Vince listed as a SG, so I'm not including him.

    Here's mine:

    1. LeBron James
    2. Paul Pierce
    3. Tracy McGrady
    4. Shawn Marion
    5. Carmelo Anthony
    6. Peja Stojakovic
    7. Ron Artest
    8. Andrei Kirilenko
    9. Richard Jefferson
    10. Tayshaun Prince

    Granger is doing very well right now and Durant is even better,but the reason I didn't put them on the list is because their progress is more recent. I can't argue with your reasoning. :)

    Key word decade.

    If he would've said last 3 years than you would be correct.

    You think Durant/Granger are two of the top 10 small forwards of the last decade? What did either of them do before 07-08?

    Finley and Jefferson have accomplished more.

    If Grant Hill wasn't so injury prone, he would be in the top 10.
