Default RE: Ranking the game's best power forwards (Dirk #3)

Amare most definitely is a 4. Really, he doesn't even come close to resembling a center. Amare is a center like Yao is a power forward.

Sorry, Ape, but Amare's got a bit to go before he's in Dirk's class IMO. Just like Dirk had to improve his defense, and passing before he could be considered int he same class as Duncan and KG, Amare must do the same. Really, at this point, I'd rank Amare right below Jermaine O'Neal. Amare's an absolutely incredible athlete, and is phenominal off the pick and roll, but that's about it. He's still gotta learn how to vaguely grasp the concept of defense, pass, dribble, and keep developing that midrange shot.
