Is it Amare or Amar'e? When it comes to this Stoudemire fellow who just committed to signing with the New York Knicks, how do you spell his first name?
↵To be honest, I had never seen Stoudemire's first name spelled with the apostrophe until the last couple of days. Did I miss a request from Stoudemire to become Amar'e instead of Amare? Somebody help me out here.
↵By the way, our friends at Posting and Toasting have put together a nice analysis of how Amare (Amar'e?) impacts the Knicks, especially if they end up trading David Lee.
↵Stoudemire is a great scorer, but the rest of his game leaves much to be desired. Lee excels at many of the small things Stoudemire has never done well.
