I think he was done once he hurt his back dunking in the pregame against the Heat. He hasn't been healthy since. His issues are health related and as he has said, he never learned how to play d.

You can't say "injuries nonwithstanding", injuries define anare's career. Having a "system coach" and "system players" wouldn't keep him from totally breaking down.

have you not seen his defense? I personally think he is the absolute worse defender there has ever been in the NBA. I have never seen a person be confused so many times by a simple pass or simple pick. That does not even include the Amare special defensive play. The point at the player driving to the hoop and yell pick him up. The only problem is that is the guy Amare should be guarding.

I heard someone say something about Amare that I had to think about but I came to the conclusion that it was accurate. The person said that Amare has always been a terrible basketball player. The thing is that he had exceptional athletic ability that covered a great deal of his lack luster overall game. For example, he blows a defensive assignment he would just run down the player and end up with a highlight block. With that advantage now gone we are left with the low basketball IQ player.

yes he was never taught defense. that is clear. when you make the leap from high school there's a higher probability of not coming to the nba with sound fundamentals. and lets face it when you have nash hitting you with pocket passes in stride and rhythm you can get away with an awful lot, especially as the decision-making is out of your hands. he was a GREAT finisher.

i knew this when he came to new york and kept insisting that he pick up his assists. he never really found teammates that were open when he was doubled and tripled. that is the kiss of death for a team, as we have seen similarly with melo. but then lets remember he also had a severe eye injury and that wearing those goggles surely impairs what limited peripheral vision he might have had to see an orange and blue jersey.

one wonders how garnett got his defensive and passing instincts.
