That should, and will, happen regardless. I still love him and am very excited to see him go into the Ring of Honor. History will remember his career as a Sun first and a Knick second regardless of where he signed his final ceremonial contract. SP: Agree with Kellan. Not even this. JC: Meh. He's a Sun and should be in the ring of honor.
I do think this speaks to a larger problem with bad blood between the team and many of it's all-time favorites It just seems like a vexing pattern of things ending less than cordially. I'm also not terribly happy if it's true that Amare wanted to come back to Phoenix on a one year deal and the team rebuffed him. What would the harm in that be? Amare has always been a hard worker and good teammate. The Suns kept Markieff Morris around to start last season but Amare is going to poison the well?
What about the somewhat overblown value of a mentor? It's not like Amare would have stolen minutes that teenagers Chriss and Bender absolutely need right away Oh well, at this point I don't really know the whole story SS: Amare was an interesting player, both on and off of the court. So much ability, yet ultimately an incomplete player since he never learned how to contribute on defense.
Still, he was a joy to watch, and I loved rooting for him while he was here. KO: At least 75 percent of this was Nash, but watching these teams taught me so much about spacing in basketball and how defenses move. On offense, however, the combination of he and Nash showed how unstoppable the pick-and-roll can be when it has the right players doing it. Jacob Padilla tweeted earlier how the two had the perfect skills for the play and I agree.
So fun to watch. ML: That he tried on defense. I wrote about it back in I think if you look at how Stoudemire approached the game and his life, he was always trying to improve. He wanted to be one of the greats and knew that meant playing both ends of the floor. I absolutely love the guy. He overcame an incredibly difficult childhood and family life and grew into a great man.
He had his limitations on the court to go along with his brilliance but what stands out is what a good, honest, and decent person he is. Amare gives zero shits what people think about him and has been keeping it long before that was a thing the rest of the world started to appreciate.
Even that silly and self-appointed Sun Tzu moniker was Amare trying with all his heart to become a better leader for his team.
He was never afraid to fail and never burdened by expectations. In that, he is a very unique individual in the world of elite athletes and real estate moguls. One specific interview Amare gave really stands out for me all these years later for its honesty and insight that I failed to appreciate at the time. Stat was still recovering his eyesight when he talked about his relationships with his various coaches.
I read this now and feel horrible for mocking him. His words, by the way, resonate in light of current coach Earl Watson. You want a coach that you can really hug and hold and high five and really have fun with. He helps out with his dad's landscaping company.
And he likes to play basketball with his best friends, but just for fun. When a group of older kids start disrespecting his boys on their neighborhood basketball court, there is only one solution. Amar'e must step in and use his athletic ability and intelligence to save the day.
This experience leads Amar'e to realize that basketball is his true passion. Amar'e is just as versatile in his off the court life as he is on. He is devoted to several charities.
