He was virtually unstoppable all throughout the season and the playoffs.  He averaged 37 points a game against a very tough defensive team, the San Antonio Spurs.  Amare Stoudemire, the youngster that went straight from high school to the NBA will almost certainly get a 6-year max contract this offseason.  At least, under the current CBA the max is 6 years.  Well, anyway, he has certainly earned a max-contract, whatever it may be.  

He brings in the fans and he wins games, add to that he is only 22-years of age.  But the Suns should remember another talented young athlete, who, after suffering a knee injury requiring many surgeries to repair, was never able to return to form.  When Antonio McDyess lost his amazing jumping ability, his numbers went from solid to mediocre.  Upon his recovery, he was never the same player.
