Rebounding: Stat and Bosh are even Jump shots: Bosh, Amare struggled last year hard to give him a "fair" rating with his shot off most of last year Finishing/dunking: Slight edge to Amare Post game: push both rely on faceup game Amare prefers to use a quick first step and Bosh uses it to, but their post moves are not that deep. I will change my mind if his time with the Dream worked. Defense: Slight edge to Bosh but neither are great Speed: Amare Agility: Amare

I think we were pretty much in agreement, I had Bosh as a slightly better rebounder, but you pretty much said everything I was trying to say when comparing them as well.. Neither have a great post game and neither play great defense..

To the guy who said Amares play has declined throughout the years must hav not seen Amare before MELO came. If Chris Bosh played with MELO his numbers would be terrible. No easy wide open jumpshots. If you watch Knicks games you can see how umcomfortable Amare has been since MELO arrived.

Yeah I'm sure injuries had nothing to do with it?.. Despite Melo being there or not it's Amare's job as a "superstar" to do something about it.. In 2011 Amar'e was at his career high for FG attempts, I don't think Melo was taking THAT much away from him.. Are you also going to tell me that Melo is the reason that Amar'e isn't as explosive as he used to be? Doesn't move as quick or jump as high? Or that his FT%, rebounds, and blocks are down?

Bosh seems to be transitioning ok playing behind not 1 but 2 superstars

No what he is saying is with melo amare is not getting any open looks because he dose not pass the basketball. If you watch Knicks games melo is often isolated leaving amre fewer oppertunitys to get open looks. Stat should bounce back this year with Kidd and Felton aboard to set him up for more open looks.

I hope he does bounce back, I've always liked his game.. I feel like some of you may think I don't like him after this argument lol but that's not true at all

Coming from a Jazz fan, I am very disappointed that Raja Bell is rated a 71. He had a terrible year. How is Gordon Hayward not at least a 73?! Burks is rated ahead of him?!

And yet, BOSH'S NUMBERS ACROSS THE BOARD WERE BETTER THAN AMARE'S LAST SEASON. End of debate.

First of all, are you high? Pau was clearly the 2nd option. Their post game almost always went through him. How do you think Drew got most of those easy looks? Because Pau is such an exceptional passer.

Amare's numbers suffer because the All-Star that he plays with isn't that great of a passer. And their team takes FAR too many 3's instead of working it inside. LeBron takes pride in sharing the ball (almost too much). Bosh gets so many easy looks because people are worried about the other two, they would rather worry about shutting down LeBron and let Bosh try to beat them.

Guaranteed... if Bosh were in NY his numbers would be WAY down.
