    I must say, Blake Griffin is so sick right now (did he really have knee surgery last season?). So I tried to look back at how Amare was before his Microfracture surgery, and they look pretty even athletically to me. Which one were the more explosive athlete?

    I hate to say it because I’m a huge Amare fan, but it’s gotta be Blake. He is in a league of his own right now for athletic bigs.

    Most people are gonna say Blake because what he’s doing is recent. But Amare was banging on ALOOOOOT of people as a rookie and beyond as well. He had many many sportscenter highlights so i agree its about even. No clear edge

    Not even close. Blake Griffin has the crazy trainer dude. He trains him on a mountain, lolz. I remember last year his trainer warned people this was gonna happen b/c of Blake’s work ethic. He seemed serious and looks what’s happening. We are talking more like Shawn Kemp ability.

    I would give pre operation Amare a slight edge but not by much. I think People forget how cold Amare was when first came in.

    I think Griffin’s explosiveness is more similar to a young McDyess before the injures then Amare.

    I don’t think Griffin gets up as high as Stoudemire did, but Griffin is a stronger/more powerful athlete when attacking the rim. I also think Griffin’s second jump is a lot better.

    Overall, Griffin is the better athlete.
