Switch Amare with Bosh over the last seven seasons and Bosh's career looks more successful and Amare faces all the problems Bosh has had here of being a lone star. Give Bosh Nash and Marion before and now Nash, J-Rich and he has a much more successful personal career and team career over the past 5 or 6 seasons.
You have to be good to be the second best player on a stacked team and leading that stacked team in fg% rebounds and ppg and blocks per game. Amare was putting up numbers that were nuts. Before his microfracture he was a freaking beast. Still is a good player, so fun to watch.
Bosh is just a boring player.
What does this have to do with anything. Is Duncan a fun player to watch. I'm not comparing Bosh to Duncan aside from the fact that neither have an exciting game to watch, but they can get the job done.
Bosh has put up good numbers on a crappy team. So what. There is no doubt in my mind that he would put up good numbers if he played in Phoenix. I'm sure Amare can up good numbers on a crappy team, and I doubt his numbers would be as good as Bosh's if he were on the Raps.
As bad as the raps were this year, as little as Bosh had to work with (a lazy Hedo, a timid Bargnani, an injured and less effective Calderon, a rookie starter) he still had this team in 5th place before the allstar break, after the worst of our schedule was over. Had he not been injured in the last few games, the Raps would have made the playoffs.
And had he not injured his knee, we would have fought for and finished either 5th or 6th.
