Blake Griffin has shown he can be an All-NBA performer.
Tony Bradley is pretty good.
I became real good friends with John Stockton and Karl Malone and am still good friends with them to this day. It was always good to go see them and then play with them in the 1996 Olympics as well. I idolized John Stockton at the time, I tried to model my game after him.
I'm a big-guy guy. I look at guys like Shaq, Ben Wallace, guys who play inside and play tough. I don't pay much attention to the little guys; I like the big guys who do the dirty work.
I'm kind of a dirty guy, a little Bill Laimbeer-ish. Those are the guys I used to watch growing up. I used to watch Karl Malone; now I watch Boozer and Elton Brand and try to emulate those guys as much as possible because those guys are about the same size as me.
I don't have the five positions anymore. It may be as simple as three positions now, where you're either a ball-handler, a wing or a big.
I love Karl Malone.
I have always seen Drogba as the example to follow in terms of a centre-forward. He was strong and scored loads of goals, and he was a quality player.
My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was.
I've been watching the growth of Auston Matthews, for instance. If he were playing 20 years ago, we'd be saying he's Mario Lemieux-like. He's 6-foot-5. He skates great. He's got unbelievable hands and a hockey IQ.
I'm good friends with Tim Duncan.
The height of my athletic achievement was in 8th grade when I was the point guard for my Jewish day school basketball team. We played in a public school league and, amazingly, went undefeated. I say 'amazingly' because our power forward was 5 ft. 6 in.
I like to watch a lot of Kevin Durant, Brandon Ingram and Giannis Antetokounmpo - those tall lanky wings that can handle the ball and shoot it.
Anthony Davis is cool.
I think, growing up, I was seen as the perfect power forward. For a long time, I thought maybe I was supposed to be a basketball player.
Tim Duncan is one of the greatest power forwards in the history of our game. Being younger and just watching him play, winning championships, that was always cool to be able to play against him.
I heard the other day that I'm the skinniest power forward in the league. I might be the skinniest, but I'm damn sure not the weakest.
We are trying to get away from those traditional centre, power forward type things.
Bernard King is the only guy that ever scared the hell out of me.
In college I played power forward because I was one of the biggest guys on the team and my versatility allowed me to do that.
Shawn Kemp was the player that I grew up watching, when he was with the SuperSonics.
More and more teams are, in the vernacular, 'going small,' with only one big man down deep. Good grief, the position of power forward is in the process of going the way of short shorts.
I play everything but point guard.
I feel that playing the stretch four is an advantage for me because I'm quicker than most power forwards. I can shoot the ball well. I'm efficient, so I can use that to my advantage.
Pau Gasol is one of the best big men in the game.
