Is there a difference between 2005 Amare and slim Shawn Kemp?

Amar'e's place = "it was OK"

Kemp's place = "it was delicious."

I don't think so. If anything, Amare is being overrated. The dude is a face up power forward who shies away from contact and post play. So, Amare's quick and athletic, he still wasn't ever as strong or as explosive as Kemp. As for Basketball IQ, I wouldn't go bragging about Amares either.
