Amare Stoudemire: Is He Holding Back the Phoenix Suns?

Now before you ask me what drugs I'm on, hear me out. We all know what a great player Stoudemire is. We all know he can score.  We all love his SportsCenter highlight dunks. But, where is the defense he keeps promising? He obviously has the tools to be a great ball stopper. The problem is that he is a ball stopper on offense.
