	Basketball - MSN Encarta
		Today, the standard basketball is generally orange or brown in color, with an outer cover of leather or nylon and a pebbled (indented) surface to help players grip and control the ball.
		The power forward (4 player), who must be big and strong, primarily concentrates on defense and rebounding.
		Whether basketball is played informally on playgrounds or in organized fashion in leagues, it is played with essentially the same set of rules, which have stayed generally consistent since the game's invention in 1891.

	Power forward (basketball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power forwards play a role similar to that of center in what is called the "post" or "low blocks".
		Power forwards can be imposing presences on defense, but they usually defer to the center in terms of blocking shots and general intimidation.
		In the NBA, a typical power forward is between 6'8" and 7'0" (2.03 to 2.13 m) in height and 220 to 260 pounds (100 to 120 kg) in weight, and is often asked to play center in specific game situations or when a particular team lacks a taller player.

	Power Forward Or Tight End? • Liter of Cola - FOX Sports Blogs
		Power forwards on the other hand, have great size, Great power in the paint, and often have speed to burn from running up and down that court.
		Many Tight Ends currently in the league play a little basketball in their spare time, and the position of choice, is of course Power Forward.

		For a generation of NBA basketball, the power forwards were strictly ruffians.
		Wide bodies with forearms like legs of lamb, they were there to rebound, keep the high-flyers from getting into the lane and to protect their own stars with a willingness to bludgeon an opponent's face over any issue.
		Some of that is because of the declining contributions from the small forwards, but mostly it comes from the exceptional big guys.

	Battier at power forward could be answer for Rockets \| Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
		But it is a strong indication Battier will see significant time at power forward with the Rockets, rather than his customary spot at small forward.
		When Battier is not matched up with the best power forwards, there also could be time at the position against small forwards now playing power spots, another sign of the position he will play.
		All that said, in some ways it won't matter what position Battier plays, he plans to play either forward spot roughly the same, which he said is why he does not like to define himself by a position, or much of anything else.
