Amar'e and his D (or lack thereof)

I played HS basketball. If I had played D this bad, I'd be riding the pine the rest of the game. Amar'e does it? Superstar!

I am pretty sure that is just how it is drawn up...


and that is LOL awesome, he looked terrible.

Amare and D don't correlate. He plays no defense and can't get up like he used to. I'm out on this guy. Baby Shaq is now papa McGrady with absolutely no defense. He will be in China soon enough.

Amare is still considered a superstar? Just because he's being paid like one doesn't mean he is.

His knees are shot and was surprised to see last night that he was still able to dunk. That video is pretty funny though.

Once his contract is up, he should call it quits

I still think Harden's examples are worse, considering he's younger and healthy.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Ok I know Wade can't jump more than twice a week these days but those ass clowns at TMZPN really ranked harden above Wade? And Durant questioned it the other way around like it is Wade's choice to be better in a wheel chair than most of these young kids are in their prime?

I refuse to be some old geezer saying that these young whipper snappers can't hang with even the aging superstars (Prbly the Bird/Magic fans to the MJ class, then the MJ to Shaq/Kobe class then the Kobe to LBJ class and now the LBJ to I guess Harden D12 class? Curry and others?) but really there has not been any players in the last 11 seasons that look like the kind of superstars we have seen out of the LBJ class. I hope this next class gives us what I am waiting for...a chance to prematurely crown the newest GOAT...

No seriously I won't.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

...and I doubt that Wiggins will be as good as LBJ, just comparing their high school numbers he doesn't add up, but he will have a good advantage going to college for a year and coming up that way and I will wait til his career shows a projection, but if we can just get a Wade, Bosh...dare I say it Melo class that would be sick.

end derailment



can somebody gif that Amare D, that would make great hand history giffage.

Botslayer I agree. Until I saw harden play defense I said there is no way he's better than wade. I would probably take klay Thompson over him. Klays defense is close to being elite in the future
