Rautins & Mason are quote on quote "Knicks" but Amare is a "fraud"?
It takes a fraud to know a fraud
Amare was our 1st top 10 star since Ewing. Ewing was amazing & my all-time favorite Knick but lets be honest; Ewing was great on defense but he was also surrounded by tough defenders in Oakley, Mason, Charles Smith & John Starks; something you know nothing about considering the fact your a Knicks fan from only the Houston-Sprewell era...
Amare is no Ben Wallace but he still ranks top 10 in blocked shots & leads NY in boards with NO help down low.
Give Amare a true C such as DeAndre, Nene, Chandler or even Dalembert & I guarantee Amare starts to look 10x better on the defensive side of the ball. Amare + a true Center? Our BIGS are then filling lanes, rebounding, blocking & contesting shots like bats out of hell. Wouldn't be easy to score against us down low & Amare wouldn't be left out to dry like a fool without front-line help anymore.
Amare changed the culture of our franchise & ranks #2 in scoring.
