ha that may be a bit overboard. i thought big things were in store for this guy when he destroyed tim duncan in i forget which suns-spurs series.
since he's come into the league he's gotten MUCH better as a shooter. Much like, David Lee actually.
BUT
I can understand the dog part. Lamar Odom had 19/19 in 30 minutes.
Maybe we're asking for too much for Amare to be the 1st or 2nd option on offense AND hit the boards.
but if he just is a scorer and doesn't really
- block shots
- rebound
- defend
then how is dude worth max $ and max years?
Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please
