The official Amare Stoudemire appreciation thread

[MaryvalesFinest]

Ok we all know he's not comming back, question is will he walk or be signed and traded anyway it's been a good 8 years of him in a Suns uniform so post your favorite Amare memory.

I still clearly remember that dunk in 2002 over Olawakandi and the reaction on Marbury's face, classic Amare.

yea cool amare...i loved him when suns were up and coming, but just not gonna get us over the top as our number one. still...

You suck at defense, rebounding, bball smarts, knowing what it takes to win...

When you look at amare, he hasn't really improved AT ALL in any phase of his game since adding the jumper to his game in 04 05. NO post move whatsoever, all he can do is face up and go right

HOPE we can S/T him for some young guns and a good piece

Whatever happens with this team, I'm looking forward to next season.

[LV-Suns]

I thank him for the last 8 years of great basketball. Not looking forward for all the trade drama this coming off-season. Hoping we are not going to sign him to the max like he is demanding, Miami can have him.

[Mjee]

We need Amare....we should get rid of barbs and sign either andre I or Rudy Gay...but starver wont do it so...... my fav moment is when he blocked Tim Duncan's slam at the buzzer a couple years back!

Twas a great 6.5 seasons of Amare (missed season with MF surgery, missed half season with eye injury) and I'll be sad to see him go. He gets crapped on by average big men and he gets out rebounded by guys a foot smaller than him but I'll miss his thunderous dunks and ESPN highlight facials.

If we come to an agreement with a reasonable deal, I'd still welcome him back but our FO should know that we need more defensive help.

my favorite moment was when nash had that oop to amare way back i think like four years ago against the mavs in a close game with about a minute left. i probably only remember it because i was in india then and woke up at 5am to watch it, but it was definitely a great play.

[Wayne Kerr]

amare...
cant wait till you are gone.

[Black Jesus]

One of the greatest pf's of all time. One of the greatest 2 man game of all time (nash). One of the best dunkers of all time, just no fear. Respect for his maturity, never in trouble though his whole immediate family always has been. Just a great player. If he were to have been traded to cleveland, LA would be getting sweeped in the next week to come.
