Amare is on record saying that he's not even sure how close he is to 100% so there's no way we can really know. Still, two things lead me to believe that he was pretty close. 1) the fact that Dantoni played him 39 minutes and 2) The play at the end of the game where he jumped over Josh, caught the pass with one hand and dunked. You're obviously not remembering that game very well because he played above the rim all night and ended up with 25 and 13. That game was less than a month ago.

It was weird because Amare wasn't really playing above the rim in the first half for the most part that night. He seemed to be trying to finesse it a lot. But in the second half, he started dunking, and he was dunking HARD. And that one handed alley-oop he got with a minute left has to rank up there with some of the sickest dunks I've seen in person. If he's not 100% he's pretty close.
