Amare owns 4 out of the 10 top plays

6. Amare Stoudemire moves along the baseline for the reverse in traffic. (past Tim Duncan - fakes a pass goes around)

4. Stoudemire packs down the putback with authority. (Shaq-like, knees guy in back)

2. Stoudemire sends the game into OT with the bank shot. (gm 1 vs SA)

1. Stoudemire rattles the rim with a one-hand jam. (over Kandi man)

They could have just the ''Amare highlights'' if they included some of the increidble blocks, the behind the back dribble to finger-roll against the Celtics or the reverse windmill against the Celtics.

That block he had on the blazers early in the season was awesome. I forget which Blazer it was, but the went baseline for a dunk and Amare went up with both hands and grabbed the ball and brought it straight down.

I think that it was Patterson, not 100% sure but I have it taped.

Yea I have to agree, he has some monster dunks, but I think he had alot of UNBELIEVABLE blocked shots... Stuff nobody does...

It was Zach Randolph. Amare Stoudemire was much more aggressive defensively earlier in the season. It seems it was a conscious effort to stay out of foul trouble.

Joe Mama "It seems it was a conscious effort to stay out of foul trouble."

One thing FJ seems to have learned from Skiles was to give guys the hook at the first sign of foul trouble and then let them languish on the bench for the rest of the game. You'd think it was some kind of a crime to let a guy foul out.

Hey, I just figured it out... that's what FJ was doing with Big Jake the whole last third of the season and the playoffs - keeping him out of foul trouble. You can't dispute that he was a resounding success.
