A sight for Suns fans' sore eyes
06/05/2007 06:48 PM
Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw were back on the court Tuesday.
Once the Suns finished up their draft workout, Stoudemire and Diaw took to the court. Stoudemire did some one-on-one work with assistant coach Phil Weber while Diaw, fresh off a Rocky Point trip, got in some exercises with strength and conditioning coach Erik Phillips.
From then on, Stoudemire and Diaw both worked out with Weber for about a hour on ballhandling and shooting and pledged to return together Wednesday to do it again. Stoudemire was really getting after it too, as if it was training camp. He had taken a much-needed break since the end of a season in which only a suspension sidelined him and his surgically repaired knees.
Arizona State University's new BMOC (STAT is taking a couple of summer classes there; he said he is interested in history) also was coming off an appearance on Fox Sports' Best Damn Sports Show Period on Monday night.
With the help of friend Brett Hansen over at FSN Arizona, here were some of Stoudemire's comments from Monday's show. He had a tough chore following Jessica Alba but he held his own.
On whether the Spurs are dirty: “I think so. I think there are times where they are – they get dirty out there. But, it is the playoffs, so I guess you to live with it. I think they definitely had a few dirty players out there on the court.”
On whether the Suns would be in the NBA Finals if he had not been suspended in Game 5 of the conference finals: “I think so. I think game five is definitely one of the most important games of a series and with me not being able to play in game five, it definitely hurt us. We definitely had a chance to win still, but I wish I could have played that game and it probably would have changed the outcome.”
On whether the NBA should have looked at the rule (leaving the bench) subjectively: “I was going in more as a peace maker type of a approach. I caught myself too once I stepped on the court – I caught myself for a second because I didn’t play last year and I forgot about the rule and I was just reacting off of a natural reaction. I think you should take a look at it (the rule) and try to tweak it -- you can’t change it too much because you want to keep teams away from the altercation.”
On his summer plans: “I am going to summer school at ASU. I always wanted to go to school, but it was so easy for me to not go to school once I got drafted out of high school. My summer has been so hectic from World Games and different types of events going on in the summer, it was always tough for me to go to school. Now I have a chance to go back and I am going to go ahead and give it a shot.”
They just won't give up, will they? I am so ing sick of their whining bull .

You mean he wasn't checking in? Ahhhh... it.
Stay near the bench.
pos no te di go <<<<(spanglish) <<<
hilarious
Whatever it takes to sleep at night, Amare. Just keep telling yourself it's not your fault, that you had a natural reaction that no one else in 10+ years has had, and that the Spurs are dirty so that you don't have to focus on the fact that you lost the crucial game 6 when we were down a man. Whatever it takes to sleep at night man.
lol @ him saying he was gonna be a peace maker........ bull , no one runs out on the court to be a peace maker, there was enough ppl already on the court to do that, he was gonna go in stephen jackson style and he knows it
and i guess he forgets he has a ass dirty teammate in raja bell
amare is a , i used to like him, but i can't stand when players run to the media and whine.........
I think these comments show the difference between great players, and Amare, because we all know great players wouldn't be making these statements.
Of course those same great players probably wouldn't have left the bench.
It's funny that he is still trying to make excuses, saying he didn't play last year, which is irrelevant because the rule has been in place for a lot longer than that...
Amare is a chump.
Amare will forever be remembered as a woosy...He is probably my least favorite player in the entire league .. Yuck!
Amare's always been a whiny . Imagine if he played in this era:

That ing pansy wouldn't last 5 minutes.
So..Amare missed the playoffs last year, and that's why he didn't know about a rule that's been in place for many years?
The Suns will never win with excuse makers like this as their core.
Lol.
I disagree. I think if someone from the Suns had cheap-shotted Tony Parker in front of the Spurs bench then Duncan would have been on the floor. , he went on the floor during the potential or non-altercation earlier in the game (Bowen had to pull him back), so obviously he would have done it during the real deal and especially for a top player. It's just a natural human reaction. The point of the rule is to prevent fights, so it succeeded; flexibility should be applied to its enforcement, as it was with Duncan, taking into account whether the player actually joined the altercation or caught himself after the initial, instinctual response. These aren't robots they're human beings.
I'm surprised you guys are arguing this. I would have thought you'd have liked to beat the Suns full strength rather than have an asterix next to your le.

He certainly thinks a lot of himself.

Ummm...I thought he was "checking into the game."
Time.
To.
Move.
O-N!!
Let the punk wish ..He's not in the real world ....

I thought the spurs beat them at full strength as well!!!!! game 1 game 6
Why are Phoenix fans disguising themselves as Celtics/Jazz/Cavs fans?
sHUT THE UP AMARE
Raja Bell isn't exactly Mr. Nice Guy. I guess playing physical in this day and age is playing "dirty". What I still laugh about and find ironic is that after Horry's foul, the altercation started because Bell, Nash, and other Suns players ran over to Horry and had to be separated. Horry was walking away to the bench.
THERE IS NO ING ASTERIX. WE WON GAME 6 FAIR AND SQUARE. SO SHUT THE UP.

They are pussies, just like the Suns players.
The only thing clear out of all this is that Amare Stoudemire doesn't have the mental toughness to be a champion.
So, he's in the right city.
