Who would take on your team?

Both gifted athletes, Great Dunkers, Bad defenders.

Prime Amare.

Not nostalgia or Blake hating, just honest opinion. Prime Amare pre knee injury was something else. His stats might have been inflated playing in PHX and with Steve Nash and the run and gun offense but the dude was straight heat. That series vs spurs, Duncan had no answer Amare was too athletic

As sad as it may seem, most posters here never even saw prime Amare play. He was a handful. The guy was just insane. That being said, this year I feel like Griffin is playing really well and he's playing defense. I would say based on this year, Griffin but prime Amare was more exciting to me.

Dat Nash and Amare PnR

Oh man this is a tough one. Prime Amare was just so freaking nasty. Griffin has really made some strides this season though. Whew man I can't decide.

Prime Rib >>>>> both combined

Amare for scoring, blake for d and playmaking.
I miss prime amare so much, he was so exciting.

[alenleomessi]

amare was a better scorer but blake is a much better overall player

[Jailblazers7]

I'd take prime Amare. He was giving prime Duncan 37/10 and 26/10 in the playoffs during his Suns years.

I dnt think Blake is a good enough defender to take him over Prime Amare.

[wally_world]

Close but I'll take Amare. Amare had that wet midrange jumper which some might have forgotten. And in his prime he was an elite shot blocker. Blake plays better D and can pass a bit better, but not enough to make me take him over prime STAT.

[no pun intended]

Prime Amar'e. No question.

[G-train]

STAT, but Griffin isn't far off after this season.
Needs to show something in the playoffs like Amare vs Duncan.

[plowking]

Pretty close.
Amare was probably the better defender, he could at least get you a few blocks here and there. Probably a better pick and roll player, although Blake is quite good himself.
Blake is better at creating for himself though, and most definitely a better playmaker for teammates.

I don't know. This is probably as equal as it gets.
