The most exciting and physically gifted player on this list, Stoudemire is preposterously athletic considering he is 6'10" and 250 pounds. Stoudemire is a perfect fit for the Suns, where he is able to hit mid-range jumpers, blow by bigger defenders, and finish at the basket with powerful dunks as well as anyone in the league.
Stoudemire has had two seasons of over 25 PPG, and has lost little off his vertical leap or explosiveness despite knee problems throughout his career.
Still only 26 years old, Amare is improving, and should be good for 20 points, 10 rebounds, and at least a couple of plays that bring the fans to their feet every night for years to come.
His team might not have had the success yet as some other players on this list, but Amare will likely play in at least a couple of NBA Finals before his career is over.
1. Tim Duncan (SAS)
Although he may not be as exciting to watch as some of the other stars in the league, there is almost no denying that Duncan is the best power forward of this generation and possibly of all time. Methodical, consistent, and fundamentally sound, Duncan has a career track record that is nearly unparalleled by anyone who has played the game.
Using his size, intelligence, and bank shot, Duncan has won four NBA championships, three NBA Finals MVP Awards, the NBA MVP in 2002-2003, and has career averages of 21.6 PPG and 11.8 RPG. What's truly remarkable is that, after a decade in the league, Duncan is still a dominant force and should keep the Spurs title contenders for the foreseeable future.
