Who was the better PF CWebb or Amare

[Whips-n-Chains]

Also, that infamous TO was b/c Webber was intentionally trying to throw that game b/c the guy that paid the Fab 5 was an infamous Detroit gambling boss with ties to the Mob. He also blatantly walked earlier in the possession and it wasn't called.

I'd take Blake Griffin over Amare
today and in their primes

 

[JesusFOREVER]

This. Webb would get in his head and miss free throws and turn the ball over. Suns dont get screwed in 07, Amare has a ring. Same can be said for Webb with the infamous Game 6. Amare maximized his ability, while I feel Webb, as great as he was, underachieved. Chris was supposed to be a multiple MVP, multiple championship winning player and he never got there. Webb shouldve been a 25/12/5 player for his career.

Webb had that ACL tear right as he was peaking

 

[JesusFOREVER]

Both are great but Chris Webber’s skillset at the 4 spot was just ridiculous, a true all around monster

Lol cmon that's crazy.

Mike Talley was the guy probably tryna throw the game. He was all city all state PG from Detroit who started at Michigan.

Rose and CWebb was stealing his thunder as young cubs when he was a star in high school.

Then they steal his thunder at Michigan. As a junior instead of embracing a leadership role who sulked and hated on the fab5. Eventually Talley fell out the starting lineup then out the rotation completely.

Starting lineup when fab5 first came was
PG Talley
SG Rose
SF Pelinka
PF Webber
C Howard

When the timeout happened there was only 1 player on the bench calling for a timeout and that was Talley. Everyone reaction afterwards was "no" while Talley was just like

Tryna find a pic online. But in the Fab5 documentary you clearly see Talley on bench signaling TO

It's close but I'll go CWebb

 

[Versa]

It comes down to whether you prioritize the versatility (Bron/Magic/Garnett) or being the best of the best at the most important skill in the sports - putting the ball in the hoop (KD/Jordan/Curry).

There's no real right or wrong answer, because both of them were elite, and both of them would have easily been champions if one or two things went differently in their careers.

If you have a great facilitator with shooters, you go grab Amare and win a ring.

If you have great finishers with shooters, you go grab C-Webb and win a ring.

I thought Amare had higher peaks scoring wise than he does, so I'm going with C-Webb. Otherwise I would have taken Amare. Versatility slightly is overrated in basketball. Give me the nikka who getting me the bucket. Rebounders, passers and defenders can be drafted.

CWebb, and not close. Amare for the most part, was just a high flyer. And his best years don't even compete with Webb's best stretch. Webber was far more skilled. But there's also a 10 yr difference, and the game drastically changed from when Webber player to when Amare was playing.

You can possibly say that Amare could've grown more outside of Nash/Suns, when he was primarily used as a roller, finisher. But you could also point to how Webber didn't have knees since '98, and Kings hindered his impact with the spread-around ball. But Webber was still better.

Amare was more than a high flyer and was a better scorer than Webber was.

The narrative about Amare has been that he was a dunker and roll man when he was much more than that.

He was one of the best face up bigs in his time, he wasn’t just good in pick and roll but pick and pop as well, his midrange was lethal, and he was an elite slasher/finisher/driver who got to the line a lot.

 

[ISO]

Amare knew where his bread was buttered and stayed in the paint for the most part.

Amare was one of the best midrange shooting bigs in his era.

He was a more efficient midrange shooter than Webber—knock down off pick and pops and face ups. He didn’t live there as much as Webber but he took and made plenty.

 

[ISO]

Webber was more skilled as a passer and never got the chance to play with someone like Steve Nash who would have gotten him easy buckets like he did Amare. I'll go with Chris for this one.

Stoudemire didn’t need Nash his talent speaks for itself he came straight out of high school for a reason.

His arguable best season came as the number one guy with Ray Felton as his PG.

 

[Left.A1]

Webber could handle the ball and playmake, he’d be kind like a suped up Paolo in this era.…id take that over Amare although hebeas great too

Career might not have played out like that without Nash though and the D'antoni system. Felton balled that season for the Knicks until he was traded playing in that system.
