    Another really poor comparison, obviously Shaq...

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (KMart @ Mar 26 2006, 01:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Everyone who enters the league has the tools to be great. You are given top tier trainers, top tier facilities, and access to tapes of players to study.</div>Amare has the tools and has shown he can use those tools. He has one of the best bodies in NBA, is extremely athletic and agressive, and has the winning mindset. If he can improve defense and learn new post moves, I feel he has the potential to be as good as Shaq. But, will he realize that potential? Doubtful.

    He does not have the potential to be as good as Shaq, let's just clear that up right now. Amare will never be a 330 pound battering ram who is unguardable.

    But he can be a 6'9'', 250 pound athletic freak that isn unguardable. He will not be like Shaq in anyway, but can be just as good in many ways.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Hm01 @ Mar 25 2006, 02:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Amare without a doubt. The guy can score 40+ pts in consecutive games. Problem is, Shaq hasn't really had a playmaker who can do all this for him.</div>oh my god. 40+? That was nothing to Saq back in the day. You obviously haven't been keeping up with the league until recently.
