How far was peak Amare from peak Duncan offensively?

[Rocketswin2013]

How much better or worse?

[TripleA]

At his peak he was unstoppable.

i would take peak amare over peak duncan. Duncan is more role playerish with amazing longevity.

Peak Bosh was a monster before Lebald ruined his career

I wonder what numbers Duncan would put if he had prime Nash.

[TheBigVeto]

Very far.
Duncan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Amare

Amare - Nash = Trash

[Sarcastic]

Amar'e put up great numbers without Nash, and Duncan's teammates and coaches >>> anything Amar'e ever had.



Popovich, Manu, Parker, and D Rob compared to Nash and D'Antoni

Scoring wise, peak Amare was just as good as Timmy. But offense ALSO includes passing. When u factor that in, Timmy was CLEARLY better than Amare. As a TOTAL OFFENSIVE PLAYER, only guys like Barkley, Mailman, and KG are on Timmy's level at the PF.

In terms of scoring, peak Amare was ridiculous. He had a more than decent mid range game, no need to discuss his athleticism, and had very respectable moves on the post.

I remember a playoff game where he went something like 10 of 11 from the floor or something that crazy, and he certainly looked quite unstoppable on the court (not only shooting open shots). In terms of pure scoring, I believe peak Amare wasn't that far from Timmy D, and that's just a way of saying that peak Amare could score with the best of them.

However, as the prior poster said, if you factor in overall offense including passing, offensive awareness, plays in the clutch and other factors Timmy is far superior. No offense on Amare, but Duncan is just too great.

[Fire Colangelo]

Amare put up great offensive numbers without Nash.

Amare is someone that can put up 30, 35, 40 on you while Duncan is more complete on offense with his passing.

[HoopologyPhD]

Not that far, especially in fast break situations where Amare's athleticism was much better.

In the half court and ISO situations, Duncan was much better because of his post moves and shooting touch.

[FKAri]

Are people forgetting how poor Amare was in isolation situations?

He was an amazing pick and roll/pop player who showed even more versatility early in his Knick career but he was never a 'dump the ball to' player.

So far. Million light years awaayyy fromm youu . Lol what the ? Amare more superstarish player with amazing tiny longevity.
