Episode 119: Amar'e Stoudemire with Gerald Bourguet

Jim is joined by the lead Phoenix Suns writer for PHNX Sports Gerald Bourguet to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former NBA big man Amar'e Stoudemire. Jim and Gerald first discuss the time Stoudemire posturized Anthony Tolliver in 2010 and his 37.0 PPG performance in the 2005 WCF (11:20). Then, they compare Stoudemire to HOFer Chris Webber, debate the significance of Stoudemire's five All-NBA appearances, and rank him against the best centers of the 2000s (21:40). Finally, they discuss whether or not playing with Steve Nash in the seven seconds or less offense hurts his HOF (40:32), before reaching a final verdict on whether or not Amar'e belongs in the HOF (42:59).
