Erick Dampier can post up Amare.
Really?
When the people say Dwight Howard could be the most dominating force in the league, I strongly disagree with that. I like Dwight, his size and strong play is very impressive, but I think Amare is the better of the two.

He was unstoppable so many times in the season, a lot of games, much more than Dwight, and Amaré is the 2nd leader points in the league per 48 minutes.OK? not Dwight.
And Amaré hasn't a bad ego. When Shaq came to play in Phoenix some stupid people thought Amaré would be a stumbling-block to Shaq addition. They were wrong. Not jealous, not ego. Amaré is a really good teammate and the Suns love him.
Some people guess Amaré defense is his weakness and I understand why they saying that. Only one stuff of his play that I want to see improved is his defense.
Obviously, he isn´t the intimitador that Hakeem was or Shaq is and his patience is lower than other great post player than Duncan, but he's willing to work an his defense 'll improve day by day.
Amaré also is great in playoffs, Howard has not proved that.
If Amaré plays in the playoffs as well as he did in the season, the Suns'll win the ring. I don't doubt it.

Erick Dampier can post up Amare.
I can post up Amare.
Seriously, Amare's #s went up because he can't be doubled with Nash and Shaq on the floor. Before anybody starts slobbing this guy's knob for what he does on one end of the floor only, ask yourself what Kobe and LeBron could do if they were never doubled.
Well... Kobe won 3 rings, and still was doubled a considerable amount of the time. Hate to see what he could have done if he also had a PG like Steve Nash... lol
does amare's name really have the accent over the "e"? if that's true, that just makes him even douchier.
Sadly Duncan will prob be left off the first team
Amare is the most explosive scorer from the forward/center position since and in prime Shaq, and his offensive is so skilled from the perimeter, few can even compare. However, I think averaging 5 more rebounds per game is more impressive than the five more points.
It'd be tough for me to say who I'd choose, but I have no issue with Howard over Amare for 1st-team. Howard is a center, Amare is a forward. Now that Amare's moved to PF, he's highly unlikely to get another 1st team All-NBA until Garnett and Duncan severely diminish, and it will likely always be a toss up twixt he and Dirk for the second forward spot. Unless Beasley puts up college numbers in the NBA. Then it will be James and Beasley at the 1st-team forward spots, and Dirk and Amare on the 2nd-team.
And Mono, yes, Amare added the accent after his second or third year.
Amare.
is this a joke?????
DH >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Amare
Is this a joke?????
LOL at the accent, what a bag.
Amare is not better than Dwight. I would love to see Amare on a team w/o Nash just for a couple weeks. I am really curious to see if he is as good as people think.
Kobe would be averaging like 45 points a game.
let's not forget amare's matador defensive tactics. he has all the physical tools to be a great defender but he is just terrible on d.
Imagine Dwight playin next to Nash. LMAO amare is so overrated
scary...
Dwight over Amare because what would Amare be without Nash?
If Amare put in some effort on guarding other big men he would be something but if Dwight played with Nash he'd be unstoppable. It's not just about scoring. Dwight is such a defensive presence because he grabs so many rebounds. Point guards drive into the lane and they see Howard in the paint and they go
Dwight doesn't have an accent mark in his name but he does have 'D' in his name.... that's all he needs.
I'm not going to argue that Amare doesn't benefit from Nash, because that would be absurd. But what most people fail to realize, is that Amare has developed his game to fully complement the skills of Nash. Howard can't dribble drive off the 20-foot screen and roll the way Amare can. He hasn't the handle. Howard can't step out and hit the 20-foot jumper at all, let alone with the consistency that Amare can.
Just because Howard is big and athletic doesn't mean he can do what Amare does with Nash. Howard isn't even as skilled offensively as the second-year, 20-ppg sans-Nash Amare. He has a handful of power moves in the post. I think it's great he's developing and has already proven his worth as a shotblocker (2.2 DH to 2.1 AS) and rebounder, but Amare is FAR more complete offensively.
I think overall Howard may be a slightly better player, but Amare can do things with Nash offensively that no other big man in the League can. That's the truth. You can diminish all you want, but Howard has been in the League for four seasons now and is just now averaging the ppg total that Amare averaged in his injury-plagued, sans-Nash second year.
Nash makes Amare great by putting him in position, but Amare is so skilled, it no longer matters where he gets the pass, or what he does with it after he receives it... more often than not, it's going in. Whether it be off the dunk, off the hook, off a runner in traffic, spotting up from 20 or off the dribble-drive, it's going in.
With Howard, you'd be limited to the first two options.
That makes sense, and you are probably right.
I would just like to see if he is really that good. Switch Dwight and Amare's teams for a couple games and see what happens. Do teams double Amare much?
Not that much anymore. But here's the thing, if Howard can't hit the 20-foot jumper, nor drive off the pass, then teams won't respect his pic, therefore they'll play lax and with hinder Nash's game more than Nash will be able to improve Howard's. At least that's as I see it.
Nash doesn't get doubled off the pic, because Amare is too damn good and has too many options at his disposal for simply scoring.
Amare averaged 20 ppg as a second-year big man. He was constantly doubled. His percentages suffered, but he was also developing his mid-range game at the time as well.
On offense, if anyone takes Howard over Amare, then they haven't watched the NBA at all. I won't fault anyone for selecting Howard over Amare for other reasons, including as the better overall player, but to say Howard could do what Amare does if only he had Nash is just foolishness.
Howard in two games against Amare this year put up 34 and 18 in Orlando and 30 and 23 in Phoenix.
And BTW, Dwight>Amare. Not even arguable.
