While I haven't heard too many grumbles about Duncan, it should be noted that many people have chided Shaq throughout his career for being an indifferent rebounder too often, and for not putting up 14/15 per numbers and settling for 10-11 per.
I'm not blaming Amare for everything, but like I said, perception is part of the opinion and I've seen plenty of plays where Amare is standing free, out of position, nobody boxed out, and not even jumping on a play not that far from him.
Again, the organization, coaching and system factors in, as, like you said, he was demanded to carry a team by playing out of position for most of his career, and, his dip owner balked every chance he got at putting/keeping a reasonable C on the roster to help balance out Amare's downside. I could in' spit in Sarver's face for selling off Gortat all those years ago. I said it then and it's proven now, Gortat was exactly the C perfect for helping to offset Amare's rebounding woes, while having the offense to keep up with D'Antoni.
Amare is to be credited more than he ever has been for his comeback from two career-threatening injuries. Lesser players (Googs/Penny) simply quit and collect their paydays.
I'm also pissed at not being able to draft Noah. Goddamn Atlanta. Amare/Noah owns. !

Don't remind me of how perfect Amare and Gortat would be. Gortat was the missing ingredient they always needed, a tough center who wasn't afraid to call his lazy ass teammates out.
^ Gortat is polish, scro. You might be overestimating him.
Tbh I'm Polish and Russian, some Polish people know how to put in det work
wattaboiut the younger gasol bro at memphis...he seems legit
Lol no..above average at best
hes certainly starter material but prob will never be an allstar.
Drummond to Prep School. If the rule doesn't change, he's definitely going to enter next year's draft.
in the 20th century the game favored big men but it's changed alot if you persist to play a center-oriented game you may as well assign your scouts to europe, euro league got some hardcore s there tbh
The league has declared war on centers. They won't let them loiter the paint, so they've grown happy feet and cannot refine their game. They're permanently compromised.
I don't get this at all. I thought there were concerns about him graduating on time, but I saw an article saying he did. Are his SAT's horrible or something? Does he or his family think he's not NCAA material? This decision is ridiculous if there isn't an SAT problem.
I thought Drummond was in the class of 2012, how is he gonna enter the 2012 draft?
He has graduated. He's taking a postgrad year in HS.
Cousins will be a stud and has center size and is skilled
high school 5 year plan
I really hope this guy's SAT was , because the other explanation is he wanted to play with his AAU friend. How do you graduate from one high school and then transfer to another?
I know a kid who did that, but in his case he wasn't nearly good enough to be going D-1 and didn't have the money for college.
Why Drummond is doing it who in knows.
DeAndre Jordan?
he has the potential but doubt he has the discipline or motor to reach superstar status.
Roy Hibbert?
Drummond to UConn, now, this season, last minute... Big time pickup. Crazy.
Best college for him to go to, IMO, as Calhoun, in on the downslope, coaches up big men.
Supposedly UConn is out of scholarships, so is he paying his way, or what? Still, who cares about $10,000 for a year of school when you're going to be making millions in a year? I'm really happy for Drummond to be going there; I think this will be much better for his future.
If there is an NBA season, the Suns should tank hard for this guy. I don't even want them winning a game.
