Well, in Amare's case because he started off the season averaging about 14 a game and looked pretty bad, early on. He also sat out a few games because of his knee and most Suns fans thought that was going to be a lingering issue this year. He also has a rep for being a poor rebounder.
For Manu, it's just surprising he doesn't get a little bit more respect (I'm sure it has something to do with the flopping issue) for all he does. I really think there are only 2 wings in the league who have more (positive) impact on the game than he does. A lot of it doesn't show up in the stat sheet, and yet those are some crazy numbers.
