Player of the D.A.Y.

Early!

By Sam Rubenstein

I’m running late, and supposed to get on train and go O.T., so the Player of the D.A.Y. comes early. Allen Iverson is still a 76er. For now.

Even though it was against the Bobcats, Amare Stoudemire takes the trophy. 22 and 12 on 8 of 11 shooting, with two of those points coming on Okafor’s head. For a guy who’s rehab was one of the stories of the offseason, his return to dominance has been pretty understated. He’s not back all the way, but he’s a big part of the Suns 10 game winning streak. The Manchild is on the road to recovery.

I think maybe Amare’s slow but steady assent back into NBA elite supercede’s Kob’s 34…After all, he IS coming back from microfracture surgery. Every pain free dunk is newsworthy to phx followers Although any time the Lakers beat the Spurs its news. One of the most understated rivalries of the past 10 years. And if it comes at the expense of Bruce Bowen aka Bone Collector aka Bruce Leroy aka Brucie B, its all wood. Im wondering if TIMMUH!’s gettin his touches though. 16 and 13..He seemed to be groovin and I know the Lakers frontline aint stoppin him anytime soon.

i am THE spurs fan, but even i cannot deny the fact that the lakers played a sickeningly great defensive game in the 3rd… but that’s all that i’m giving them props for — kobe scoring 34 pts isn’t anything special anymore

Just this. i think that Bowen should be renamed from Bone Collector to Ankle Collector. Cuz I am sure he broke more ankles than anyone and I mean literally. Peace
