Premature to call Amare a lock for the MVP lead after one game?
Maybe.
But 22 points on 72% shooting, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal looks pretty darn MVP-like to me. And let's not forget the all important clutchiness of making big shots when it matters most. Oh, and only 2 fouls as well.
It is undeniable.
Amare Stoudemire is the leader in the MVP race two days into the 08-09 season.
Being Dunked On
MVP! MVP! MVP!
