This is Stoudemire’s fourth career NBA Player of the Week honor and the first won by a Suns player this season. He also won the award on Feb. 26, 2007, Dec. 13, 2004 and Nov. 22, 2004.
The 6-10, 245-pound center wins the award for a week in which he averaged a team-high 28.5 points, a team-leading 13.5 rebounds and a Western Conference-best 3.25 blocks. STAT posted a season-high tying four consecutive double-doubles, including back-to-back 30-point, 10-rebound efforts in the week’s final two games for the first time since April 5-9, 2005. In the final three games of the week after the Suns’ blockbuster trade for Shaquille O’Neal on Feb. 6, Stoudemire averaged 30.0 points, 14.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks.
The six-year NBA veteran has made 30 consecutive free-throws, tying the longest streak of his career. The stretch includes a Feb. 8 win over Seattle in which he made a career-high tying 15 free-throws on 15 attempts, two shy of a single-game franchise record for consecutive free-throws made. Stoudemire’s two free tosses with 7.5 seconds remaining in the Suns’ 108-107 victory over Washington on Feb. 10 proved to be the game winners.
A three-time NBA All-Star (2005, 2007, 2008), Stoudemire is averaging team-highs in points (23.1, 7th-NBA), rebounds (9.4, 20th), blocks (career-high 2.35, 6th) and field goal percentage (career-high .587, 5th). During the week, STAT surpassed his blocks total from all of 2006-07 (110) with a game-high four blocks against the Wizards on Feb. 10. STAT’s 2.35 blocks are the third-most in franchise history and the most in 20 years (2.40, Larry Nance, 1987-88).
Owners of the best record in the Western Conference, the Suns (36-15) are a season-high and conference-best 21 games above .500. Phoenix travels to Golden State to face the Warriors (30-20) on Wed., Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. Phoenix time at ORACLE Arena on TNT. The game is the second of six consecutive nationally televised contests for the Suns.
