Amare Stoudemire wants to play his entire career in Phoenix Suns

Less than a month after Amare Stoudemire left the door open to a possible change in his future team in the short / medium term, the Suns' power forward says he wants to play his entire career in Phoenix.

"Every place I go, how New York or Los Angeles, fans tell me to stay with them," said the forward of the Suns. "But I like being in Phoenix. Phoenix is a wonderful city I grew up here and my family. I hope that all ends here, although only the future will be decided.

"Right now, given the uniform for the Suns, and keep them loyal."

Amare Stoudemire may negotiate with the Suns this year an extension of his contract and his remaining two with the Arizona franchise, one of which can be disposed to joining the great summer of 2010, which will bring together many good players and are called to be one of the wildest summers in the history of the NBA. However, it is unknown whether Phoenix would prolong his contract.

Amare Stoudemire is giving them reason to think it over, as its value under the basket (12.3 rebounds per game in their last eight games). "I want to eliminate some bugs in my game, and rebounding was one of them earlier in the season . I talked with Shaq (O'Neal), because he wanted to catch every ball and I run, but the lack of bounce on my part became a problem. But it's settled. "

Amare Stoudemire has always been considered a player who could get double figures in rebounds, something only achieved now, in his position, Tim Duncan, Zach Randolph and Marcus Camby, now that it plays in center.
