those things once they work so hard to get a star

Amar’e Stoudemire clearly is barely keeping it together as he’s suffered most with the acquisition of Anthony. Whereas the Knicks earlier this season were a team being built around Stoudemire’s game, now Stoudemire, an early season MVP candidate Coach Sunglasses, has been left to find a different game. And maybe someone in his family to chant MVP for him. His most recent coach, Alvin Gentry, called him the game’s best pick and roll player. But with Anthony, most of Stoudemire’s plays come now on isolations. And Stoudemire’s game isn’t to create and beat you off the dribble, like Anthony’s. It seems an awful fit. Stoudemire is a career 54.5 percent shooter. In the last 10 games, he is shooting 43.2 percent and under 50 percent since Anthony arrived. He has shot below 40 percent in three of the last five games. Stoudemire still is getting his points, so he’s becoming a volume shooter, taking more shots to get his average and thus making it two isolation players. You never say never, but those are two players who do not seem to mesh Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses. And still without a point guard and center.
It’s difficult to see where the Knicks’ future looks very much beyond being a second tier playoff team. No surprise, but Anthony already has been booed off the court after a loss. The obvious—if generally unspoken next step—is now that you have them, would you trade one? The same question will come up in Miami this summer if they don’t win: Will they try to turn Chris Bosh into a center and point guard Armani Sunglasses? No one ever does those things once they work so hard to get a star.
