He's not a bad one on one defender, his help defense (besides the occasional block) is really bad, like dumb founded bad.. Now Nash who has never ever been known for his defense, is a two time MVP under the same coach who knows very little about defensive schemes. But like some have pointed out (LJ and Houston) under a defensive minded coach who has a much better understanding, your not going to see the absent minded mistakes that poor defenders make because you will be practicing defensive rotations, instead of switching every time the ball moves from player to player.. You won't see Amare guarding his man, then as soon as the ball moves, he's some how guarding a PG, or amare letting his man (who can't shoot from deep) drag him way out on the baseline and opening up the paint, or amare playing defense with his back turn from the ball handler..
