Kevin Durant declared Zach Randolph the best forward in the league.

"You can’t stop him," Durant said. "He’s an animal . . . He’s the best power forward in the league."

Kendrick Perkins didn’t rubber stamp that endorsement. Perkins declined to name his top power forward, but it’s not Randolph.

“If he says so,” Perkins said about Durant’s opinion. “I don’t agree . . . I’m not going to give my opposing opponent the credit that I got to go against. So if Kevin says (Randolph is) the best power forward, then that’s Kevin’s opinion.’’

After being told in a news conference about Durant’s compliment, Randolph said, “Oh, yeah, I got to agree with that. Thanks, KD. I appreciate it.” Randolph also said that, overall, “I don’t get lot of respect that I deserve.’’

Certainly not from Perkins. Informed what the Boston big man had said, the 6-9, 255-pound Randolph told FOXSports.com:

“Perk’s good, but all Perk can do is foul me. That’s the only thing he can do. The best thing about his defense on me is to foul me . . . He can’t (stop Randolph). He’s too slow. He’s a big body. He can foul.

“I don’t think nobody in the league can stop me. Not only Perk. I tell Perk to his face. I already told him before.’’
Say it with your chest Zach!!!!

Not too sure on this whole best PF thing, but he's certainly better than more recognized names like Chris Bosh.

This is one of those things that comes up when you are playing the opponent in a series.. I don't think he is the best PF in the league, but he goes and flies under the radar that's for sure.

He's easily a top-5 power forward, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that he's the best power forward in the league. That right there is just Durant trying to help pass off why his team got so beat down by him. Top-5 yes, but best in the league? No, definitely not.
