Just wondering, have any of you seen Amare play in the summer league games? I have watched a few myself along with some highlights and I have to say he looks like hes in great condition. His moves around the basket are improving, hes slowly getting back his speed but for now is playing good in the post.Even in the team USA practices I watched he was doing pretty well. I don't even think this is the good Amare, hes being precautious to make sure he doesn't have another injury and returns at full force. What are your thoughts on Amare and his comeback?
I've been scared. I bet he improved his passing, shooting and low post moves but without his jumping ability and him being worried about his knee I'm not sure how good he can be.

Sounds like he's going through an Antonio McDyess phase, except Amare will actually get his knee back to 95-99% of what it was. If McDyess still had his phenominal athleticism combined with the finesse game he's developed, he'd be a perennial all star, like what Amare is about to become.
