Amar'e and the "Bittersweet" Return
January 8, 2011 Leave a comment
This past off-season, most of us probably thought that Amar’e Stoudemire leaving the Phoenix Suns and signing that mega five-year, $100 million deal with the underachieving New York Knicks would inevitably be perceived as an “epic fail” moment.
The Knicks are actually winning games and looking like an NBA team, for once. They are the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference and have a 21-14 record. Stoudemire, an early MVP candidate, is second in the league in scoring at 26.3 ppg.
Last night, Stoudemire continued his dominance with 23 points and nine rebounds in the Knicks 121-96 stomp out of his former running mates Steve Nash and the Suns.
Could this be a sign of things to come for the Knicks? Or are we getting ahead of ourselves?
