And lol at thinking Amare should be higher, let alone much higher than McHale. You obviously don't know much about NBA history at all. I will break it down for u in simple terms tho.
Offense:
McHale >> Amare
Rebounding:
McHale >>>>>>> Amare
Defense:
McHale >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Amare
Man, you think McHale is God or something.
I agree with your overall point about McHale>Amare, but thats due to Amare's defense sucking so much.
First off, the Celtics played at a significantly faster pace than the Suns. Not the Suns fault as the entire league simply played faster back then, but still lets realize that this impacts their numbers.
Secondly, in their primes McHale played more minutes per game. If you look at their stats per 36 minutes it helps Amare.
Yet depite all that, Amare still put up better rebounding numbers than McHale. Amare has pretty much proven to be a 9rpg type of guy(seasons of 8.8, 9.0, 8.9, 9.6, and 9.1). McHale had one season of 9.9 and otherwise was lower than that in every year. And if you really want to see Amare's dominance then look at rebound rate, where he kills McHale.
With regards to offense, last year alone Amare put up 26.7 points on 65.5% TS%. McHale never topped either of those numbers once in his 13 year career.
At best you could argue that these two were comparable in these categories and that defense pushes McHale over the edge. But instead of doing that you present your opinion as absolute fact without providing any real evidence. And then you wonder why I call you a homer(its not just giving your opinion....its stating it as a fact as if you know you're right when in fact the stats don't back you up much at all).
