I'm going to take my homer goggles off and tell it like this. Most Suns fan would probally rather have Bosh than Amare. Amare is a great player but not a franchise player, Bosh is that just look at Toronto. If Amare was gone here like the 05-06 season the Suns could do fine without him but the Raps focus is Bosh.

Now there are a few things Amare is better at, if he's on your team he will have a highlight dunk every single night something you wouldn't get from Bosh. If you're looking for a complete player Bosh is the guy, Amare is good if you have another superstar player to compliment but I just can't see him being a leader...

thanks for being honest but i'm going to keep my homer glasses on and agree to everything u said but amare studamire is pure garbage. Deep down amare is a bootleg dwight howard with a jumper and less size. He's a good role player but without nash he'll be an advance version of that warrick dude. For any of u who thinks amare is better just look at the facts the knicks want bosh in 2010 not amare.

The only thing that's a "fact" is that you have absolutely no basketball knowledge.

Well Amare may not be a franchise player but he's not that bad, the guy was averaging like 20-8 a year before Nash came to the Suns. Amare is definately better than Warrick, Amare is on the same level with players like Carmello and Al Jefferson, solid players but not franchise players.

[TASTIC]

Bosh hasn't done squat yet - the guy has mad skills thats for sure. He and Calderon could be Nash + Amare 2.0

Ask almost any GM - ie guys in the know - and they'd take Amare by quite a bit I think.

1 Tie...Bosh is hardly a defensive beast
2 Tie...Amare's numbers may be inflated by Nash, but Bosh has an equally impressive J and ft%
3 Bosh
4 Bosh
5 Amare
6 Amare

I think Amare COULD be the better defender and better rebounder, but his heart's just not in it.

Amare has not done **** also...all f'ing around aside amare is one hell of a player but is not capable of carrying a team solo.
1. Bosh...leadersihp makes him the better overall
2.bosh...bosh can do it all, amare finally learning how to extend his game, the jumper is new to him, bosh came in the league with that jumper
3.tie...they bosh suck
4.bosh when amare gets to 10 rpg in a season we;ll talk
5.amare
6.amare...bosh is a half court set kind of a guy..amare can catch lebron passes and slam it home no need to work on his offense.

[lilfishi22]

I'm no Amare homer so Ima tell it like it is

1. Bosh, while Bosh ain't no DPOY, at least he gives the same amount of effort on both sides of the court.
2. It's a tie in a lot of ways, but I would give it to Amare purely on the basis that he puts up better offensive numbers, despite having played with Nash for most of his career.
3. Bosh, like Tastic said, Bosh ain't a defensive beast, but he boxes out at least.
4. Bosh
5. Amare
6. Amare, because he doesn't need the ball in his hands as much as Bosh.

How is STAT pure garbage? While Dwight is a better player because he plays both ends of the court, you can't say Amare is a bootleg Dwight. You could just as easily said Dwight is a bootleg Amare with no offensive game other than dunks. Both comments are ridiculous because they are both wrong. Comparing STAT to Warrick would be like comparing Melo to Jeff Green.

There's a thin line between being realistic and a hater. You just crossed the line.

Hard not to be impressed with Bosh after the Olympics. He was clearly the best big man on our team. Just a crazy efficient great player. But jeez, Amare and LeBron? Just as a pure basketball fan, how cool would it be to see those 2 together in D'Antoni's system in New York?

Something the average fan doesn't know about Amare... probably his hands. The guy seriously never misses a pass. Everyone talks about how Nash makes Amare great on the pick and roll which he does, but Amare has unreal hands and catches everything and it allows him to be so special.

[lilfishi22]

^ I forgot about a fact the average fan don't know about Amare. But yeah his hands are huge and he can pick up bad passes off the floor and be up for a dunk in a second.

1. bosh
2. it depends on the offense style of the team but il take bosh for one reason, he can create his own shot
3. bosh
4. bosh
5 amare
6. amare, lebron is a great passer and amare is a great finisher.

[boshjonesford]

Raptors fan hear

1)This year bosh is better but last year Amare was better but you do have to consider the fact that amarie plays for a better team.

2) I would say Bosh has a better offensive game considering the fact that he puts up more numbers and doesnt have a great point guard like nash to pass it to him.

3) This one is tied their both bad defensivly but if i had to choose i would probably go with Amare

4) I gotta give this one to Bosh

5) Amare for sure, bosh sucks at blocking shots

6) no difference ether way is good, Amare is a good finisher but so is bosh (olymics games with lebron) Bosh has better range and can run the floor a bit better in my opinion but they are both equally good with Lebron.

[eastsidecrossover]

Thank you rsavaoi. That is one of the lamest takes I have read Mary. Screw the vale, its straight up Mary for now on.

Tastic had a strong take also.

Honestly, both players are about even. Neither has lead their team to the finials, and have strengths and weaknesses to their games. I would like to have either one of them. However, I would say Amare has the edge as a player. He has made first team all nba and has received some votes for MVP. Bosh has had his name mentioned, but has not made the all first team. So, that is why I’m going to give it to Amare. If bosh was on my team, I would not be mad that we did not have Amare.

Thing is, as of late, the Amare haters are getting stronger in this form

I never said I hated Amare, he's a great player but is he really a franchise player? If the Raps didn't have Bosh they would be a lottery team but if the Suns didn't have Amare they probally still could make the playoffs.

If given the choice between Bosh and Amare be honest would you really take Amare over Bosh?

[DaDragicShow]

Of course Amare is a franchise player without Nash he was averaging well over 20+ppg.

[rsavaj]

Of course Amare is a franchise player without Nash he was averaging well over 20+ppg.

PPG means nothing. Stephen Jackson is averaging 22 ppg, does that mean he's a franchise player? Zach Randolph, Ben Gordon and David West are averaging 20 a game, does that mean that they're franchise players?

Amare plays on one end of the court; by definition, he's not a franchise player. He's shown flashes, as in that Indiana game when he played a complete game, but too often the other parts of his game get neglected in favor of putting up points.

I was responding to the post by thegame10, not Maryvale's post.

[Purple Palace]

Amare's jumper so far: 47% eFG
Bosh's jumper so far: 40% eFG

Amare led the league in And 1's last year by a large margin and had a lot more dunks than Bosh. Amare's the better finisher, but Bosh is very good at finishing as well.

Nash only plays on one end of the court as well. Both players are great offensively and poor on the defensive end.
