    Also to add to mine, I'll also say Elton Brand and Eddy Curry, but Curry seems morel ike he's just big, he doesn't play so strong.

    No mention of Brad Miller? When Shaq took that cheap shot at him, I was just waiting for Miller to turn around and kick his fat a--. We all know he could.

    Also, Shane Battier is pretty damn strong. It's not like he's a short guy either. He's about 6-9. He absolutely dwarfs Jason Williams at 6-2. He looks like a skinny SF on television, but in person he looks like a professional bodybuilder.

    p4p, earl boykins benches the most in terms of pounds:body weight... in terms of on the court tho, i'd go with marbury p4p, and ben wallace overall

    Mabury, Big Ben, and steve francis is pretty strong. Ben has a hell of a work ethic he had to work hard for everything he has today and is damn sure not quiting now. Marbury using a quote from marv albert is like a little pit bull he is not weak at all very built. Also KG is very strong he doesnt look it because of his size his arms dont look three times the size like most strong peoples do, but he has picked up his gym work ethic the past 2 years.

    No question the strongest player in the league not named Shaq is Danny Fortson. I have never seen someone 6'8'' or shorter move people the way that he does. Many people call him dirty but that is b/c he's so strong that all his fouls look like flagrant fouls. If he played on the right team (and got himself into good shape) he would easily lead the league in rebounds. He averaged a double double with 12.5 rebounds in 28 minutes in the 2001-2002 season.

    Other than Shaq? Well, I'm going to seperate by position:

    PG - Baron Davis
    SG - Kobe Bryant
    SF - ?????
    PF - Karl Malone
    C - Ben Wallace

    AI is a two guard not a point guard. He hasent played point since his first two years in the league. He only plays point in the all star game because he isvoted to start every year with tmac and tmac being taller plays the 2 and AI the one this year will change though AI and francis in the back court imo.

    I always saw Eddy Curry and Amare Stoudemire as really strong especially considering that they have both just come out of high school. Ben Wallace is a beast though.

    As far as being the toughest, there is no doubt that AI is one of them, he goes all out every night and sadly, it'll catch up to him eventually, but I hope not anything too serious. I don't like Karl Malone, but I have to put him up there too since he never misses a game that he can play in, and he'll play hurt if he thinks he can. In Utah, he never seemed to miss any games. But he's from the old school where players would try to play every game, every year (ex: Larry Bird).
