Amare seems more skilled (offensively) and stronger, but yeah, Nance was clearly the better leaper and probably faster up and down the floor. Quicker . . .mmm . . . Nance should win there too, both laterally and to the hole.

Amare was a more dominant player offensively and about 10 times stronger than Nance. Nance was a better defensive player and I think he was also more athletic. That being said, Amare is pretty daggone remarkable considering his size.
