Amare Stoudemire vs Blake Griffin

[SpaceJam2]

Amare was a beast but injuries really took a toll on him.

Blake is good but has never been the beast that peak Amare was. One year Amare averaged 25 ppg with a TS of 65%. Blake can't touch that.

Are you joking? Blake did 24-10-4 with TS of 58%

No i am not joking. Amare's TS was 7.6% higher (led the league that year btw). That is a huge gap.

Blakes current TS of 58.1% ranks 30th among power forwards.

Amare's career average TS of 59.7% >> than Blakes career year.

I take Blake 100 times out of 100. His ability to expand his game, even after his athleticism started taking a toll was exceptional.

You Gotta Go Blake . Amare had some instances of being better then blake, but it's not enough.

[highwhey]

Blake tbh, even if I don't like him. Amare also benefited from playing with Nash. You can say that Blake benefited playing with cp3, but we can see that Blake can do really well without him, and still it's not the same as playing with Nash.

umm, STAT left to NY and averaged 25ppg without Nash...

Amar'e has better shooting percentages tho. his mid range jumper was money. not to mention he could actually block shots.

[highwhey]

How so? Blake has had a better impact according to advanced stats. Amare was known for being not too interested in defense, Blake gives much more effort at that side.

Interestingly, Blake's career high is the same as Amare - 50 points.

yeah Amar'e wasnt a great defender, but he still managed to block shots. had a 2bpg season and averages 1.2bpg for his career.


meanwhile, blake averaged .5 blocks for his career.pretty pathetic for an athletic 6'10 forward.

Amare was giving Duncan the business in the playoffs

This was probably his last true highlight

an underrated part of his game was finishing through contact. i always felt like his body control was right behind lebron's. dude could drive into the paint and finish no matter how much contact he took.

[highwhey]

Blake is a lot better than people act like hes been....ive heard idiots act like he was a bust. But Amare?

I saw Amare take over too many games in the old school "Give him the ball and get out of the way" fashion to take Blake over him.

this. and not just any games, he was a whole different beast in the playoffs. he'd go on scoring rampages against the elite defense of the spurs.

he could score on anyone.

Okay, very true here didn't realize Blake was that bad on defense

[tanibanana]

Blake by a decent margin. And if Blake continues to evolve or at least sustain his new approach of the game. Blake by a wide margin by the end of his career.

[DOUBLE DRIBBLE]

Blake is a terrible defender. He
