21 Quotes by Amar Stoudemire

It's going to be great when everything gets to jelling. It's more me adjusting to them and being able to their style of play. I've been out for a while and the game has changed a little bit. I've just got to touch it up a bit.

It's been over a $100 million summer for me.

That kind of scared me a little bit, ... I'm known for my powerful dunks, but I've never done anything like that before. It was kind of like one of those old Shaq moves where he yanked the backboard all the way down. It didn't quite come all the way down, but I was surprised I broke it like that. I've never broken a backboard before, let alone an entire basket. I'm only 6-10, 250. Guys who destroy backboards are 7-3, 360. I'm a slim, powerful dunker. It wasn't my intent, but it sure felt good.

Not really. Every game I feel I have to play 100 percent, regardless of whether it?s Yao Ming, Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett .

I'm ready to go. I'm really trying to win a championship this year. That's what I'm striving for. There are a lot of new guys and there have been some huge changes, but I think it's all for the best to help this team become a champion.

I'm sure I've asked a little too much of it. It's just a little buildup, but it's a warning to make sure I'm ready before making the next step.

I'm never surprised at the healing process. It's all God-given. If the mind can conceive it, you can achieve it.

I'm thinking it's supposed to be getting better and better and it's not. I can't get any lift. I'm not getting up on my jumper and running-wise, there is pain now.
