The Polls are Closed. The Results are in. Amare is your next MVP!

by Seth Pollack on Nov 5, 2008 8:30 PM MST in Phoenix Suns Commentary

With 6% of the games reporting we are prepared to call this race for Amare Stoudemire, your next MVP.

Check out this SICK line from MVP Elect Stoudemire:

49 points on 17 of 21 from the field. That's 81% my friends. 81%. Did I mention 81%? Now that's historic.
15 for 15 from the line (that's 100% for the math challenged)
And don't forget the defense: 11 rebounds. 5 steals! and 2 blocks.
Then there's spreading the wealth around with 6 assists.

What's more, Amare's best all around game of his career comes on the 2nd night of a back to back. On the road. I am going to go out of a very firm limb here and suggest that this is best individual game we will see all season by any player.

81% shooting! PLUS 5 steals 2 blocks and 6 assists!

Now that's dominance that we can believe in!

Don't Overlook the Full French

14-5-5 playing with Stoudemire. And they said they said STAT never gets a Full French Effort to go along with a big game.

Mmmmm ... Guinness

Funny Thing

He was probably the best player on D, too. Porter just couldn’t pull him as the game was too close and he was important on both ends.

Mmmmm ... Guinness

Word on the Street

After that performance, don’t be surprised if Amare leaves to join Obama’s transition team…

Pretty funny 49 doesn't get you the high score for the night

Tony Parker got 55 in a 2OT game…

Suns Re-ignited.

No matter

Stat got the performance of the night and season so far over Parker.

Those stats are silly ridiculous. I came over here to see what you guys were saying about Stoudemire and his 49. But even a homer like myself would have to say that Amare’s night is better than Tony’s 55 and 10.

Amazing performance

Stoudemire had a huge game.

ESPN has a stat up that’s kinda cool. Amare is only the 8th player since the 1986-87 season to get at least 40 points, 10 caroms, 5 assists and 5 steals.
