Lil Wayne is down with Amare MVP

August 30, 2011: In honor of Mr. Wayne releasing his new music record album, "Tha Carter IV", re-posting this classic from 2008.

I might be the most un hip person in North America (except for this Canadian guy) so I was surprised when Urb Magazine contacted me to point out that I have something in common with hip hop icon Lil Wayne.

After I figured out what Urb Magazine was, I was happy to learn that Mr. Lil and I both think that Amare will be the next MVP.

He even threw up a def music jam about it...

"I come through the lane and straight dunk like Stoudemire/Amare reminds me of I-uh/He's a Phoenix Sun and I am fire"

That's straight dope right there.

Here's more from Wayne's season previews because you haven't read enough season previews until you've read the definitive word from Lil Wayne. Word up yo.

If the Phoenix Suns earn homecourt advantage for the first round of the playoffs, Amare Stoudemire will win the MVP. If Shaq and Nash each play at least 60 games, STAT will easily win the scoring title. That’s certainly a lot of Ifs for an aging team with a new coach and system, but Amare has always found a way. And now that dude is wearing goggles? Expect a career high in both points and blocks, especially when that new coach is defensive guru Terry Porter. Despite the knee injuries, Amare’s first step is still explosive…and when complimented by an ever-improving outside game and Shaq’s presence (however decaying), expect STAT to be unstoppable in 2008-2009 and crowned the MVP for his efforts.

Bottom line: As a Suns fan, this writer has no choice but to make this prediction.

That's not a bad prediction given the events that preceded.

Amar’e dominated next to Shaq under Coach D. Many fans including myself thought Amar’e would have a career season in 08-09, but that was assuming Porter was going to continue using Shaq as just a role player. I don’t think anyone expected Porter to make 36 year old Shaq the #1 option because how could someone do something so stupid?

Shaq made Shaq the number 1 option

Achievement is its own reward, pride obscures it.

The guy is

a frickin genius. I do like his rap music. He could probably qualify for the suns general manager. No experience but sings well.

Seth, you're totally hip and with it.

You even know what “dry humping” is.

"Maybe I’m old school," Nash said, "but I signed a contract to play here and I want to honor it. I feel like I owe it to my teammates and the city and everybody to keep battling until they tell me it’s time to go." STEVE (God of Basketball) NASH

Lil Wayne might be one of the worst "musicians" our species has ever produced.

Ever.

Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."
