Prime Amare Stoudemire VS Current Blake Griffin?

Prime Amare was a baaaaaaaad man *Stephen A voice*

Prime Amare. There is no defensive advantage to either. With Amare you get a better midrange shooter, a very strong dunker, and a better free throw shooter.

Amare is pretty much Blake with a better face-up / shooting game.

Id take current blake griffin. Amare was a better scorer but blake is a better mid range shooter, just as athletic, equally effective in defense and a better playmaker than amare. Close but ill take blake coz HE is better overall player than prime amare.

In what world is Blake even a GOOD midrange shooter? Commentators cringe and suggest he take a higher percentage shot every time he puts one up

Since this year. Commentators constantly mention how much his improve jumpshot is now and he is shooting a respectable percentage from mid range.

Prime Amar'e was a better scorer than Griffin is, and has a better face up and midrange game. Griffin is better playmaker, rebounder and better in the open court. He may be a better defensive player, but not enough to win me over.

Also, Griffin never played well in the playoffs. Granted, he was hurt but Amar'e in his prime was awesome in the playoffs. But we'll see how Griffin will play in the upcoming playoffs. Griffin has been playing very well lately.

Griffin isn't a bad defender any more. He's improved on that front. Better defender than Stoudemire ever was. Better than Kevin Love and other PF's.

Prime Amar'e was a monster, he was at times unguardable and could literally take over a game in ways I haven't seen Griffin do. What a shame the injuries have been

Well even when he lost all of his hops he still had 30 point game after 30 point game as Knick not long ago....that alone shows how great he could of been before his surgery. He would of had the speed and mid range shot. Would of made him unguardable.

STAT all day, and that is not even close!

Blake Griffin has been known as the poor man's Amare Stoudemaire since he entered the league, so you know whos better already.
