According the East Valley Tribune Stoudemire proclaimed that he:

"I can't help it. I just can't leave the court," Stoudemire said Friday after another one-on-one workout with Suns assistant Phil Weber. "I guess you can call me ‘a bask-a-holic.' "

That’s right – you heard it here (3rd or 4th) that Stoudemire is addicted to basketball. Thank goodness. For once we have a star who actually cares about more than just the $$$ in his back pockets. He went to on to say that:

"We were 2-2 and this guy Stoudemire wasn't able to play," he said, smiling. "I think everyone knows that changed things. Everywhere I go, people are coming up and saying ‘Amaré they (expletive) you. They stole it.' "

Damn straight – and “they” for anyone who was in a black hole for the past month or so is really “he”…David Stern.

And YES. Suns fans are bitter.
