GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Hands down, the shocker of the night had to be the play of Amare Stoudemire, who finished with 29 points on 14/19 shooting. The basic story is fantastic enough: surgery known to end careers, season starts out rocky, Amare roars back to make the All-Star game. Along the way, he went from freak athlete to well-rounded competitor, spoiled kid to thoughtful adult. During tonight's game, though, Amare looked better than he does during most Suns contests. In the scheme of this year's Phoenix team, Stoudemire spends most of his time down low, drifting out for the occasional jumper. Usually, Steve Nash's absence means failure for Amare. But in the All-Star Game, Stoudemire brought the ball up the court, slashed through the lane, and confidently shot from the outside. Yeah, he was trying a little too hard in the end to walk off with the MVP. Though seeing as he was up against acting point guard Kobe for those honors, you can't blame him for being a little over-assertive.
Stoudemire is not a traditional big man. This was abudantly clear whenever he tried to guard the mighty Dwight Howard in the post. Howard, almost as exposive as Amare ever was, and is the real future of the center position. Apparently, though, there's a lot more in store for Stoudemire. Howard might grow into the next Shaq, but Amare has a good shot at succeeding Karl Malone.
