Whoa! Amare really is fired up!

"I want to be Ron Artest," Stoudemire said, explaining the focus of his recent work on defense, along with efficiency in his offensive moves. "I want to be that guy you fear when you see him guarding you."

and he has the hair to prove it too...

Stoudemire's joy comes in finding more basketball potential to tap. Sporting a "frohawk" hairstyle....

yeah, i read this earlier

Amare has mostly been able to do what he puts his mind and a full effort to. That makes me pretty hopeful that he should be able to greatly improve his D by next season. Hopefully he realizes that rebounding is part of defense.

its certainly better than him pulling a Matrix and demanding a trade. Amare has the talent to be an MVP. But does he have the drive?

Does anyone worry that

his defensive role model is Artest and not KG or Duncan?

Off-the-court issues aside, I don’t even think Artest has been a DPOY…

Perhaps I’m splitting hairs, but it IS the offseason =)~

Amare is moving.

Amare's model

If he wants to model himself after the personality, well, of course you want Duncan or KG. If you want the intensity and versatility of Ron-Ron’s defense, he’s the model STAT wants. Imagine a quick-footed beast that can cover all three frontcourt positions and step out to the perimeter in a pinch.
