am I the only one who thinks Amare's offense game is a bit overrated as well? Not saying he's bad, he's certainly a great offensive player who has developed a nice little shot, but he's benefited so much from Nash on offense... his low post footwork is not that great, imo, so what happens when Nash gets old (very soon, I predict a sizeable drop off in Nash's production this year) or when Amare can't jump over everyone?

He's proven a capable scorer without Nash, he can face up and blow past anyone and attacks the rack viciously, drawing fouls and finishing well. He also has a sweet jumper to draw defenders in, he's not a back to the basket guy, but he's a very capable scorer, and he's shown that when Nash goes out (though the suns offense goes to **** with Barbosa at the helm)

Plus, I figure you were only five or six when Barkley was winning MVP and went to the Finals.


Well Im 24 now so do the math. What year did Chuck win MVP?

1993.
