Blake is the best forward in the league, he's too fast, too strong, and too athletic, incredible player, future MVP, and definite all-star legend.
Blake Griffin has somehow reached an entirely new level of dunking that I'm not sure has ever been seen in history.
Best dunker in the NBA he should be number one on this list
-
Chris Bosh

Chris Bosh does everything for the Miami Heat and without him the team wouldn't have made it far. He does everything. P&Rs, Posts, Dunks, Mid-Range Shots, Three Pointers, Layups, Rebounds, and Blocks. This is a player you would need on your team to be good
Scores, rebounds, defends, hustles, all as a "third wheel. " No one will give him credit for his work, but he'll keep working hard.
Bosh's ability to shoot face up any where on the court is unbeatable He can block shots rebound and of coarse he can score

Fadeaway jumper - impossible to stop. Great leader on and off court. Can be marked by Dwight Howard and still land bucket after bucket in his face without too much effort.

Kevin Garnett
Kevin Maurice Garnett is a former professional basketball player who spent 21 seasons in the National Basketball Association. He played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics, and Brooklyn Nets. Garnett is widely regarded as one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history.
He is all around players... Specially when he is in timberwolves.. He plays point guard, forward and center.. He does the offense and defense..
Most complete player ever at his position. He can shoot, pass, rebound, and defend his postion without a help defender like no other ever has.

Pau Gasol
Pau Gasol Sáez is a retired Spanish professional basketball player. He played 18 seasons in the NBA for the Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, and Milwaukee Bucks. He concluded his career with FC Barcelona in 2021 and was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2025... read more
Pau Gasol is a great Rebounder and maybe a mid range Shooter.. He is most Definely top 10 but not top 5.. This reason is because he lacks post defense look in anygame and any high light he is to little for the big powerfowards these days. Chris Bosh is even better chris bosh is basicly the best far as defense and maybe scoring. Only person who could be better than Chris Bosh is Blake Griffin. Only reason people like Blake is because his highlight dunks and Chris is Average more points 18 Points a game when Blake Average 17... All together like I'm saying Chris Bosh is First And Blake is second and pau Should be last because if you look at all the rest of these players... He's old and lacks defense..

A very athletic player with a tremendous dunk ability is definitely the top 10 power forwards of 2012. This guy put up 18 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assist, 2 blocks, and 1 steal almost every game during 2012. This guy fills up his stat sheets unlike most power forwards. I am surprised this player couldn't make it to the All Star team. SO UNDERRATED.
