Amare Wants Your Love and Admiration
Published 3/18/2008 by Marcel Mutoni at SLAM Online
by Marcel Mutoni Since the Shaq-for-Marion trade went down, Amare Stoudemire has been playing out of his mind. And it is mostly thanks to his Herculean efforts on a nightly basis that Phoenix was able to tread water until The Big Cactus could be integrated into the system. With the Suns and Shaq having seemingly found their stride, Amare would now like some recognition. “I don’t know what it is,” Stoudemire said. “I hear everybody’s name mentioned as far as the top players in the league. My name is ...

... to play small center, a black hole on offensive. The fact is, these are outdated scouting, overstated memes, and evidence of a player not getting the credit he deserves. Amare may not be a legit MVP candidate, but you can only downplay his greatness if you qualify every aspect of his game. In short, it's more trouble than it's worth, and definitely a sign of some sort of bias. For his part, Shaq is trying to turn this moping into a pop culture-laden campaign for change.

Game-day links: Please, give Amare his due

... could list, but I'm going with Aldridge as my key. In that first meeting, LaMarcus was getting good looks inside, but couldn't hit a thing. He ended the game 3 for 15, and had 11 points. If he gets anywhere near his averages in that game, the Blazers probably win it. As for the other starters, Roy had 25, Blake had 9, and Martell Webster didn't even attempt a shot. When you think of MVP candidates you think of Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Tracy McGrady, and LeBron James. Amare Stoudemire wants you to think of Amare Stoudemire. Blazer's Edge asks for ...

STAT for MVP - Looking at the Candidacy of Amare Stoudemire

... “Amare Stoudemire is the best big man in the game right now. I didn’t know he was that good. But talking to him and watching him play, he’s the best big man in the game — at 25 — and I mean that.
