I am a dwight fan, and he is a beast right now, no doubt. I still love amare. his numbers are down right now, but this is a guy who came off of knee surgery, lost some of that athleticism and still made 1st team all NBA last year, if I am not mistaken.
I like amare better, because he still is a great athlete, and his skill level is superior to dwight. It is a close call for me, but amare is such a fantastic player, even off the ball, he does a lot of things right. He is a no frills, throw back player. His jumper has gotten better at that too. watching amare and nash play together is what basketball is all about...
This isn't about preference of player it's about who's dominating games and playing his position as such. Amare isn't even the best power forward in the game yet alone most dominant. He doesn't take over games and he's somewhat of a slouch on the defensive end. And talk about throw back so is Dwight. He's a no nonsense, say nothing, total professional and goes about his business quiet yt very loudly. His athleticism is off the freakin charts and here's a reminder San Antonio @ Orlando last yr....
"Dwight had to go up and touch the clouds over Timmy and get it one-handed and put it in," the Spurs' Brent Barry said. "It was a remarkable play."
It was the first game-winning shot of Howard's career at any level and finished off a night in which he scored 30 points and had eight rebounds. He also blocked three shots, including one by Spurs guard Tony Parker with 0.8 seconds left to set up the game-winning play.
"Thank God we have an unbelievable athlete capable of making an unbelievable play like that," Magic coach Brian Hill said. "Everything had to be perfect, starting with the pass and Dwight just finished it off the way only he can."
Magic rookie J.J. Redick added a season-high 16 points, including a critical three-point play in the final minute.
"That was just freak athleticism," Redick said of Howard's play. "We've all seen spectacular lobs and dunks, but I told him after the game: 'Dude, I've never seen anything like that in that situation.'"
Added Spurs coach Gregg Popovich: "That was a fantastic catch by a really dynamic young player. But Dwight was great the whole night. It was a fantastic win for Orlando."
Both game winning/saving plays
 Offense
 Defense
Dominant
Not to mention this is a guy who touched 11'6" with one hand and dunked the ball with the other hand wit ease in the dunk out last yr and can kis the rim with his lips. His athleticism is way off the charts.

yea, I have to agree with you, that picture is sick!! I mean that play is unstoppable, because there is no one on this planet that could have stopped that play, maybe vince in his earlier years could have gotten up there, but duncan was helpless on that play..
As far as amare, he dominates in a different way, he has gotten beyond having to put ip big numbers to dominate, that is what I mean. And he is the best PF in the league probably behind duncan. Amare does dominate, because everynight, there is no matchup for this guy. As far as his defense, he is blocking 2.2 shots per game. I don't think he is slouching that much......
But yea, right now, Dwight is the most dominant... there is no one else, doing what he is doing now.... Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
