| | Power forward (basketball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. |
 | | One example of an effective power forward who did not fit the standard physical description for that position was Dennis Rodman, who was able to out-rebound and defensively shut down rival power forwards despite being only 6 ft 6 in, 210 lb (1.98 m, 95 kg). |
 | | Likewise, Charles Barkley was widely considered as one of the most dominating power forwards of his time as well as one of the most unique, despite being officially listed at only 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) and reportedly closer to 6' 5" or 6' 4" (1.96 to 1.93 m). |
