Amare Stoudemire’s nickname is STAT. It is an acronym for Standing Tall and Talented. Stoudemire has been doing that his entire seven-year career but this year has been doing that at an MVP-caliber level.
The discussion appears to be a three-way race between Chris Paul, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant but recently you might want to add a fourth candidate. To be truthful, I’m late ...
Suns Spot Nuggets 22 Point Lead Before Winning by 15
20secondtimeout.blogspot.com 4/1/2008 — The Phoenix Suns pulled off the third biggest comeback in franchise history, rallying from a 22 point deficit to defeat the Denver Nuggets, 132-117. Amare Stoudemire posted game-high totals in scoring (41 points) and rebounds (14), shooting 12-22 from the field and 17-19 from the free throw line. Is Shaquille O'Neal playing Pete Rose to Stoudemire's Mike Schmidt?
Shaquille O’Neal Knows His Role; Steve Nash Has Almost Perfected His
thebasketballjones.net 4/2/2008 — Coach D’Antoni : Here’s the play. Steve, you bring up the ball. Amare, set the pick for Steve. Shaq, get out of the way.
The pick and roll at the top has always been the Suns bread and butter, but then Shaq arrived, and that butter made ...
Allan Houston in Phoenix, Doing ... What Exactly?
myespn.go.com 4/3/2008 — This afternoon there was all kinds of chatter that Allan Houston was working out for the Phoenix Suns. Could it be a comeback? Could that vaunted Phoenix medical staff restore Houston like it has Amare Stoudemire, Grant Hill, Shaquille O'Neal, and ...

Lots of talk about Amare. Fun stuff. 2:36PM Nice recap of both teams. Mike Breen has really grown on me. Nowitzki is wearing a brace that's molded into his shoes.

Amare Has Nash’s MVP Vote —
SLAM Online
by Marcel Mutoni
You could make a compelling argument that ever since Shaq got traded from Miami to Phoenix, Amare Stoudemire has been the best player in the League.
With apologies to Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James, but Amare has been on an entirely different level over the last two months, and thanks to his superhuman efforts, Phoenix has an outside shot at ending up with ...
Nash is Passing the Torch —
Bright Side Of The Sun
OK, no more annoying comments from me about the USAC crowd giving MVP props to the "wrong" guy last night. Even Nash agrees that Amare is now the Suns' MVP. From Paul Coro's latest : "I pass the torch to STAT," two-time MVP winner Steve Nash said, referring to teammate Amaré Stoudemire. "He's deserving." He's also got a lot more to say, but I don't want to steal too much of Paul's ...

Amare Stoudemire is out for a minimum of eight weeks after aggrevating his left knee in practice today. MRI results have not been released, as Amare is waiting to hear from his doctor to determine if surgery is the best action to take.

Every now and again there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the L. Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list. Maybe there's something to this whole "playing with Shaq will make Amare Stoudemire 's life easier" argument (though, mind you, it has absolutely nothing to do with Shaq's ability to run the break ). Stoudemire exploded ...

41 points, 14 boards , pure dominance in a Phoenix comeback over the Nuggets, 132-117. No one will be saying Amare Stoudemire is the MVP this year (too many other, better candidates), but the way the Suns are meshing now with Shaq and Nash is something to be afraid of if you’re gonna face ‘em come playoff time.
Normally I wouldn’t care about any game featuring the ...

The Denver Nuggets shot 52.7% (48-91) and still lost by double digits to the Phoenix Suns! How you ask? Well mainly four guys, named Stoudemire, Nash, O’Neal, and Bell.
