New York Post "It wasn’t so much J.R. Smith who looked sick, and it wasn’t so much Amar’e Stoudemire who looked rusty, it was the rest of them. Neither Smith nor Stoudemire conjured up memories of Willis Reed limping through the Garden tunnel for Game 7, but don’t blame Game 3 on either of them. Blame the..." May 12

New York Post "Amar’e Stoudemire actually was one of the few Knicks who didn’t play badly on the offensive end. Stoudemire scored seven points in 8:56 as he made his return in the Knicks’ 82-71 loss to the Pacers Saturday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Stoudemire struggled rebounding the ball, collecting..." May 12

New York Post "A slim and sleek Amar’e Stoudemire raced down the floor looking to establish position with his back to the basket. James White fed him the ball. Stoudemire turned, put a head fake on Earl Barron, and exploded to the rim, using an up-and-under move to convert a basket. It came during an informal..." May 11

New York Post "The worrisome prospect of Amar’e Stoudemire being as rusty as a 1962 Indy race car is not the only issue the Knicks carry into Bankers Life Fieldhouse tonight.

Bergen Record "The Knicks have said that if they made it to the second round Amar’e Stoudemire would join them. But Wednesday, the prediction was no longer quite so solid. "He’s making progress, but he’s not ready to play in this series," coach Mike Woodson said before Game 5 of the opening-round series...." May 02

Bergen Record "If Amar’e Stoudemire wants to play again this year, which he does, the Knicks oft-injured forward needs his teammates to perform now more than ever.

April 22

ESPN.com "New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson has all but ruled out Amar'e Stoudemire for the team's opening-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics.

March 11

New York Daily News "You never know how these things work out, but you might have seen the last of Amar’e Stoudemire.

It’s not..." March 10

New York Post "Amar’e Stoudemire took the money and the Broadway stage, just before LeBron James decided to take his talents to South Beach, and announced, “The Knicks are back,” and even though everyone knew that was not the case, it was something — a shining light of hope at the end of a long, dark tunnel that..."

New York Post "Amar’e Stoudemire was feeling his oats all day, perhaps knowing he would again be needed to be “The Man’’ with Carmelo Anthony out last night. Though coach Mike Woodson still didn’t start him, Stoudemire did not disappoint. Stoudemire dominated again with his second straight 22-point game as..." March 07

New York Post "Carmelo Anthony went down and Amar’e Stoudemire rose up.

New York Daily News "Amar’e Stoudemire’s ceiling was immeasurable when he first entered the NBA and began establishing himself as an elite power forward.

New York Post "In only 22 minutes last night, Amar’e Stoudemire poured in 22 points. That has a pretty good ring to it.

February 25

There was nothing wrong with them that being at home against a team that entered with its own four-game losing streak, a record of nine games under .500 and a schedule that had them playing the tail end of a back-to-back wouldn’t cure. So what if the..." February 25
