As tempting it was to put a player like Dirk Nowitzki here for taking the power forward position outside the paint and behind the arc, number wise, Karl Malone stands alone for scoring at the position.

Malone retired behind only Kareem Abdul Jabbar for most points scored in the league history and helped teammate John Stockton become the all-time leading assist man. Malone physically was one of the strongest men who has ever laced up a pair of sneakers and ran the floor like no other big man before him.

Similar to LeBron running down at a full head of steam, only fools and/or incredibly brave souls would dare stand in the way of Malone when he was putting the ball through the hoop. With a career average of 25 points per game and a .516 shooting percentage, The Mailman deserves a spot in this starting lineup.
