The Long Await: Stoudemire's Bouncing Back

Amar’e Stoudemire will have a bounce back season in 2012-2013 season. The reason why is because Amar’e is very talented and a top power forward in the game. We can’t forget that he is in the prime of his career. Last year wasn’t the season that he expected or the Knicks at that but things happen. The money that he is being paid $20 million annual has strike a match in him and get the job done this year. This is a very crucial year for Stoudemire and the New York Knicks. I will go on the limb and say “Do or Die Season”.

Stoudemire had many setbacks last season with the back injury, the death of his brother and the non-existent chemistry that he doesn’t have with Carmelo Anthony. I think that this will change this season because it just has to guys. Amar’e will have a coming out party that we will remember for the coming years. My prediction is that he will be a 22 point per game guy this year. I also think that he will be an All-Star this season. I don’t have many question marks on Stoudemire and his will to play and win. The only thing that I think about is that back of his. When will the pain just go go away? That’s a question that we don’t have the answer for.

With the addition to Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd at the point guard position this will only help Amar’e get back to the game changer he once was back in 2010. These point guards aren’t selfish and they can run the pick and roll the way Stoudemire’s likes. This is going to be a fun team to watch this year and I can’t wait till the season starts to see what tricks Stoudemire pulls out his hat. Just don’t punch anymore fire extinguishers again! We damn sure don’t need you missing any season or playoff games because of that Stat. Do you think Stat will progress or regress?
