Im thinking people are forgetting how good stoudemire was.......
I seriously believe he will be 80 percent(maybe more) healthy.
Hes had MONTHS and MONTHS to recover,he has til october and hes only 23-24, Webber and penny were nearing 30 when they had the injury. I also believe the more freakishly athletic u r,the better u retain most of it.
The one thing you notice is his confidence,and FIRE.
He is not gonna turn out like mcdyess,hes bigger, and he has that intangible of not settling for being passive.
Amare really was about to become the most dominant big man since Shaq in terms of offense. He really couldn't be stopped. People forget how good he was.
Averaged 37 points against Tim Duncan in 6 games IN THE PLAYOFFS.
Dwight could be more like a Tim Duncan or David Robinson type of big man.
Amare has a lethal intent, much like a Shawn Kemp or Karl Malone. He's more physical and athletic than most NBA Big men and that's why Amare is a major threat. good thing nobody had to deal with him this season.
I think you can compare him to Karl Malone more....
hes no webber, but his instincts are what set him apart. yea he has the athletic ability, but to b able to see angles,and holes in the defense is something you either have or dont....
look at barbosa,hes fast,can jump so can devin harris,these guys get swatted.
Swift and Warrick are freaks and they get swatted a whole lot...
hard to block someone wen they rise up quicker off the ground....
Marion is another person who is RARELY blocked or outjumped, Ive laughed the times wen they play the pistons, Marion gets off quicker at jumpball then ben wallace a couple of times.
I think most people have forgotten how good Amare and TMac are due to this season of injuries. Hopefully, they'll both make them remember this coming season.
Amazing Amare mix
