San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan was once known as the best power forward in the game and will be known for the foreseeable future as the greatest power forward ever.  But there's no denying Duncan's game has slipped some in recent years, mostly due a bulkier knee and an advanced age.  On top of that, the power forward position hasn't been this strong since Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Chris Webber were on its way up and Karl Malone was at the tail end of his career.  As a result, Sean Deveney of Sporting News has ranked Duncan sixth among power forwards in the league.
