Safe prediction: Amare Stoudamire will be the best player in the league over the next 5 years. As good as some of the guys are right now, that guy is a freak. Well, maybe second best next to Lebron.



Ummmmm ever hear of two guys named Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan. He will NEVER be as good as them. Garnett played on one leg the whole season and still put up 20+ points 13+ rebounds 5+ assists and almost 2 steals and blocks per game AND is a first team defender. And Duncan is just too fundamentally good for Amare to be able to pass up with athletisism (spelling sucks I know). Amare will never be as good of a rebounder as those two or be able to hit the outside shot as good as them either. Also he will never be as good of a passer as KG, who is the best passing big man in the game. Also, both TD and KG make the people around them better. Amare needed Nash to get to the level he was this past year. Don't get me wrong, Amare is a good if not great player but he is not the second best player. Another thing to look at is KG almost NEVER misses a game, he played a few years ago with a broken finger on his shooting hand, had knee problems this past year and you never heard him say a word on it. Most of the time it didn't come out until after the season was done. Top 5 in the league right now is KG, TD, Shaq, Lebron, Kidd (but he is only going down).
