The Greek monster Antetokounmpo has dominated the power forward position for many years. Among the active players, no power forward can shake Antetokounmpo's position. Not only does he have wild athletic ability, his static talent is also impeccable, his skills are also getting better and better every year, and he has absolute dominance on both ends of offense and defense. The 30-year-old Antetokounmpo has scored 20,538 points. He is targeting historic power forwards. How many points did Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki and Malone score at the same time? The difference is not small.

Antetokounmpo was a draft in 2013. His career started at a low point. The rookie season also started from a substitute, and the average average of 6.8 points is also mediocre. However, he made rapid progress, becoming the fastest-progress player in the fourth grade, and since then he counterattacked and became a superstar. He has been selected for the Best Team for seven consecutive seasons, and has also achieved a Grand Slam in MVP, championship and FMVP. He averaged 24 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game in his career, with a total score of 20,538 points, and his performance was impeccable.

is also 30 years old, and Duncan was also a star in the league back then. Duncan's offensive end is not as aggressive as Antetokounmpo, but his lower limit is more stable and his team-leading performance is better. At that time, he averaged 21.8 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. However, Duncan was an older draft and entered the NBA league after graduating from college. So at the age of 30, he scored 16,288 points, which is still much inferior to Antetokounmpo.

Looking at Garnett, the Wolf King was the earliest all-round power forward, and he also has the ability to organize, control the ball and shoot. Compared to Antetokounmpo, Garnett's ball-holding offense is much worse, and his long-range shooting ability is better. However, Garnett is a player with strong defense and weak offense, and his performance on the offensive end is far inferior to Antetokounmpo. Before the age of 30, Garnett averaged 20.5 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, and his total score was 19,041 points.

Nowitzki is also a legendary power forward. His offensive skills are perfect. He is the player with the most comprehensive offensive among the three legendary power forwards. He has sharp offense at low posts and historic shooting ability, and his offensive end has always been very stable. Before the age of 30, Nowitzki averaged 22.7 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, which was also a super giant. He scored a total of 19,084 points at that time, which was comparable to Garnett.

Last look at Malone, a famous evergreen player in history and a benchmark for power forwards in the 1990s. Ma Long has excellent physical talent, and his offensive end is sharp and he also has good central shooting ability. As a legend of the Jazz team, Malone has also won all the honors he deserves in addition to the championship. Before the age of 30, he averaged 26 points and 11 rebounds per game. However, Ma Long entered the NBA at the age of 22, so he only scored 19,050 points in total at that time, which was also inferior to Antetokounmpo.

It has to be said that Antetokounmpo, who was 30 years old, scored more than legendary power forwards such as Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett and Malone, and the gap was even quite large, which was surprising.
