Similar to LeBron James this week when he drove to Quicken Loans Arena, Amar'e Stoudemire was denied access to the players' lot at U.S. Airways Arena when he drove himself to the game from his Scottsdale residence as a member of the Knicks in January.

"They wouldn't let me in," Stoudemire told the Daily News. "It's not like I left on bad terms."

Stoudemire says he was surprised but not upset by the action taken by the Suns.
