Amare could have been an ATG if he had been willing to work harder. He never rehabbed his knee injury properly, which is why he was never the same afterwards while guys like Steve Nash flourished after microfracture surgery. He also never really developed his game. Most players try to develop their games as they get older, add a new move or shot or defensive wrinkle. Amare never did. His game stayed the same through most of his career.
