Amare Stoudemire annouces his retirement today :( When he worked with Steve Nash, their team work is unbelievable, Amare cut, nash passes, make a perfect, facial Slam DUNK!!!!!
Really Blake Griffin wishes he had Amare's mean streak. Griffin dunks over people, Stoudemire dunks ON people. Whether they want it or not. It was great as a Canadian watching Nash and Stoudemire, he's got to be in the top 10 maybe top 5 for explosiveness off the PNR. I mean in 2011, He beats Garnett off the dribble and dunks on him AND O'niel at the same time. Basically the PF version of Vince Carter.
Amare Stoudemire is criminally underrated. I always liked and had respect for him. Dude just showed up and played hard every night. Nothing but respect for him.
@@elhajjmalikel6266 … he is more criminally overrated and not even close to Shawn Kemp. Kemp had a little bit more of pure basketball skills. AS just dunked over ppl.
+laynebrock That doesn't affect his previous dunks. Shawn Kemp was the best dunker for a while then he got fat during the lockout. He's still considered one of the greatest dunkers ever.
Politics. To admire and acknowledge certain greats is to acknowledge certain eras and ways of doing things contrary to how they presently are or the agenda in place. Same reason Jesus isn't taught in school. It cripples the curriculum and agenda Stoudemire was special, he did it on a Sun's team that fast breaked but never won against defensive teams. To show his greatness as a big yet failures of that system ... is to highlight how soft and inferior, the dominating style of the league today Is.
He also had a two time MVP helping him alot with those sweet dimes. Made it easy for amare. Amare is good but I dont know about hall of fame. If he stayed healthy and played a more consistent career, no doubt hall of game. Its gonna be a toss up if he makes it or not
@@user-wg7oh3vg7u yeah I said he is good and can create for himself. Amare was explosive as hell and had incredible fast feet and great ball handling for his size. Dude was a machine no doubt but injurys and never being able to get a ring with Phoenix is why I dont think amare will make it
Mark Wilson couldn’t you say the same thing about Nash that amare also made it easy for Nash to get all those a assist because of his quick first step and finishing at the rim
Man.... I remember the first half of the 2010-2011 Amar’e was being talked about being MVP. He was playing out of his mind. One of my favorite players.
FR his presence at PF with TC at center was a fun thing to watch their 2 man games on both ends. Just strong physicality and LEGIT finishing at the rim from those 2.
He ate them all my goodness i love him when he was in SUNS with marion, nash, barbosa, diaw. Oh my favorite here when he dunked on Lebron James legendary! he ate him alive!!!!
This dude used to me amazing before his injuries sat him down. So many stars have injuries fuck their whole career up. Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Stoudemire, D. Rose, etc etc. But yeah, this man used to be a BEAST!
Watching this is 2021 just thinking how today there isn’t a player who embraces and pushing thru contact like this. Rather jump, bump defender in the air and fade away+float something up for a possible And 1
Jake Rojas uhhh the warriors are playing flawless TEAM basketball, leading the league in team assist/hockey assist and pretty much every passing category. always on top as far as FG %, and very rarely have multiple possessions with iso’s. also the warriors pretty much adopted the d’antoni offense with pop motion offense and gelled them together, so for you to say “shooting exhibition” shows you don’t know much
bojo perez “they were a complete package” i can tell you’re nothing more than a warrior hater from that statement alone. because the suns were one of the worst defensive teams during their peak, and curry would give nash nightmares given the fact that he was way worse of a defender than steph. also the warriors play defense and are usually top 5 in almost every defensive category for the past 5-6 years
Dawg, ppl forget just how REAL Amar'e was, man! He served up EVERYBODY offensively. Sure his defense may not have been "All NBA" but half of these highlights are of him AFTER he blew out his knee early in his career in PHX. Living in AZ I am to think of these days many times. Stoudemire is an all time top 10 PF in this league. That's real
If not for injuries he could have been one of the best pf ever to play . he could shoot too . stretch the floor . put the ball on the floor . go around you . dunk on you . send your shot into the stands . he was an animal . only guy ive ever seen shit all over kg and duncan every time they played
@@shundon5932 I mean just pure athleticism and bounce. Don't sleep on Kemp as an overall player. He was right up there with the best PF's in the 90s (Malone, Barkley, etc)
Stoudemire was a beast I still remember when he dominated Duncan in his prime Duncan said he scary how good stoudamire will become then that summer I think he broke his leg another special player that could have been great
I thought he was everything you could want from a big man.. Nash is one of the greatest dishers of all time there was no wonder they won 60+ games & Knicks shiiii knicks was just cursed always have always will..
As a Suns fan seeing Nash and Amare in a pick a roll was a thing to beauty! The 7secs or less Suns team was the most exciting Suns team I have ever witness.
Some people forget how awesome he was early on. He was literally the dunk king. He led the league in dunks as an undersized PF / C. I personally see Zion being a little more like Amare in how he will be able to score, than anything else. Amare was basically all athleticism, and only refined his game due to injuries. I forsee Zion being similar in impact for his team, and possibly only scoring on the same type of plays. I doubt Zion will be a great, but an Amare Stoudemire career minus the injuries is not bad at all. Without the injuries Amare was on his way to superstardom, and was doing great in NY with Felton before Melo. Kinda miss this era of basketball.

If Nash hit the pocket pass to Stoudemire you already knew what it was.
MyPartnasAndMe it was a waste of time to jump with amare at the rim.
Yessir before Lob City it was Nash and Amare
Yeeouup 💯👍
@Πολεμάω Ελεύθερος was that english
Well well well
That first announcer was saying savage before savage was cool. That makes him a savage in his own right
for real
today the word savage is used for saying whore(rhianna)
RedLightning17 Tom Leander tha GOAT
haha yea, that saying had to come from somewhere,
RedLightning17 indeed. I'm Wisconsin Lonnie and I approve this message ™
man he was dunking on everybody in the league amare was the real deal in his prime
true. and kenyon martin
There was no one who could guard him, nor could he guard anyone.

Earl Alexander ñ0
Diamonds Finest people forget amare constantly put up 40 on the great bigs of our generation...Duncan dirk Garnett the list goes on
He was also a pretty good shooter from mid range
He was my shawn Kemp of my era thanks stoudamire you will never be forgotten
Exactly not so much in terms of style but power? Definitely Shawn kemp esque
Shit, you might see him again. Plus I heard he's in the best shape of his life.
I always said to myself that he was shawn kemp in the 2000's and he was one my favorite players from the 90's! They both should be in the hall of fame

I can't understand why he isn't ever mentioned with the great dunkers because he clearly deserves to..
because injuries ruined his career and now he's retiring
+laynebrock That doesn't affect his previous dunks. Shawn Kemp was the best dunker for a while then he got fat during the lockout. He's still considered one of the greatest dunkers ever.
man he posterd alot mfs
I be saying it all the time!!!....never mentioned when it comes to the games best dunkers, NEVER!!!

It cripples the curriculum and agenda
Stoudemire was special, he did it on a Sun's team that fast breaked but never won against defensive teams.
To show his greatness as a big yet failures of that system ... is to highlight how soft and inferior, the dominating style of the league today Is.
One of the best power forwards to ever play the game.
yeah, he was awesome!!!!!!! hope he has a good time in Israel!
The absolute truth. Never let anyone convince you otherwise
Let's just face it, the man was just born to play basketball.
all u guys smoking crack
@@archun23 look at his early career numbers. 3rd year was averaging like 26 and 9
That suns team (pre Stoudemire knee injury) was so damn mean. Stoudemire was an absolute beast. So fun to watch.
Amare was nasty. Underrated. That Sun's team was fun. Times passing too fast..
They were my favorite team to watch in 04-07, they couldn't get passed the lakers or the spurs...that's the only downside.
2005 - Joe Johnson busted eye socket.
2006 - Amare Stoudemire injured all year.
2007 - Robbed by the Spurs and League in WCF.
The Suns had no defense.
Yeah cause the NBA made those players leave the bench, (laughs).
@@roderickkearns3647 thats funny, they say the same about the rockets today.
I wish I could go back andi relive these times and really appreciate the kind of basketball I got to watch as a kid.
Ashon Parker blame scrawny beta males who care more about their brand and not being losers rather than love of the game ... for what is now NBA
@@jakerojas5888 on
He should get in the hall of fame. He was unstoppable in his prime he was the youngest player ever to score 50 in back to back games.
He also had a two time MVP helping him alot with those sweet dimes. Made it easy for amare. Amare is good but I dont know about hall of fame. If he stayed healthy and played a more consistent career, no doubt hall of game. Its gonna be a toss up if he makes it or not
@@markwilson8507 i agree with you about not thinking he's a hall of fame player but don't act like he couldn't create for himself

@Jìnx Jiggsaw same here🙌
Man.... I remember the first half of the 2010-2011 Amar’e was being talked about being MVP. He was playing out of his mind. One of my favorite players.
amare use to shit on any and everybody.. these ain't even his top dunks
Lmao no bullshit! His best dunks from his bum years 😂
They can't be cause they average af
2kool 4U he dunks on everybody the same tho it’s funny as hell 😂😂😂
Him & Marion setup by Nash: DUNK FEST
That's what I'M sayin
Amare was posterizing Kevin garnett on a daily
Facts
When he dunked all over Tim while he was hurt... DISRESPECTFUL! 😂🤦🏾♂️
lol yep
@Crazy Ep L
Hella disrespectful
@Πολεμάω Ελεύθερος que?? Lol
Damn that first season or two in NY, them Knicks were good, and Stoudemire was a BEAST
00Mindi00
He was dropping 30 point games like it was nothing then Melo came back and fucked everything up
FR his presence at PF with TC at center was a fun thing to watch their 2 man games on both ends. Just strong physicality and LEGIT finishing at the rim from those 2.
He got that hall of fame posterizer
Anderson Varejo was always in somebody highlight
Dude makes dunking on some of the NBA's biggest players look like kid play , legendary
One of the most underrated Power Forward w/Power💪🏿💪🏿
Power, agility & hops, if there was a meeting @ the rim Stoudemire was going to win
He ate them all my goodness i love him when he was in SUNS with marion, nash, barbosa, diaw. Oh my favorite here when he dunked on Lebron James legendary! he ate him alive!!!!
This dude used to me amazing before his injuries sat him down. So many stars have injuries fuck their whole career up. Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Stoudemire, D. Rose, etc etc. But yeah, this man used to be a BEAST!
He always was one of my favorite dunkers.. Glad someone finally gave him the recognition he deserves 👌👌
He was deadly in the pick and roll
Amar'e stoudemire is one of my best NBA players the man is a beast
Amare would murder it in todays game
still remember that dunk over Josh Smith most vicious sounding dunk ever bruh
I would say Stromile Swift dunk over Tyrus Thomas was more viscous.
czcams.com/video/V7_vpXoUxv8/video.html
I'd say Stat dunking on Shane Battier was hilarious and embarrassing
I'm split between that one and the Kandyman one.
2007 PhX Suns Amazing memories thanks u STAT.
Also thanks for this video
That suspension vs SAS... smh
Elevates and Detonates! 💪
I was at that Phoenix Suns Game vs Spurs he went off! I never seen somebody play that good in my life!!
STAT. Was a beast when I was growing up wish he got a ring
Nash and amare Best pick and roll ever
Stockton and Malone
Right strider????
He was a baaaaddd man!
Absolutely most powerful.dunker ever in the history.
My Goodness! He did have the most SAVAGE dunks!👀👀😂
Pick and Roller badge on Hall of Fame level
He was broken on 2k during the PS2 days. Jumping from the free throw line mid game
Watching this is 2021 just thinking how today there isn’t a player who embraces and pushing thru contact like this. Rather jump, bump defender in the air and fade away+float something up for a possible And 1
Watching Nash, Richardson, Iso Joe, Marion, and Amare is and will forever be better than watching the Warriors.
Sam S because at least it was real basketball in context. Warriors is shooting exhibitions with rules to keep them comfortable and protected.
@@jakerojas5888 Greatly said. Mainly a shooting exhibition who takes FULL advantage of NbA rules including no hand checking.
Jake Rojas uhhh the warriors are playing flawless TEAM basketball, leading the league in team assist/hockey assist and pretty much every passing category. always on top as far as FG %, and very rarely have multiple possessions with iso’s. also the warriors pretty much adopted the d’antoni offense with pop motion offense and gelled them together, so for you to say “shooting exhibition” shows you don’t know much
@bojo perez u just completlynfoget the other ide of the ball? The warriors play defense. The suns didnt.
bojo perez “they were a complete package” i can tell you’re nothing more than a warrior hater from that statement alone. because the suns were one of the worst defensive teams during their peak, and curry would give nash nightmares given the fact that he was way worse of a defender than steph. also the warriors play defense and are usually top 5 in almost every defensive category for the past 5-6 years
How can you show him dunk on the "Kandi Man" and not show Stephon Marbury’s reaction? Classic
Dawg, ppl forget just how REAL Amar'e was, man! He served up EVERYBODY offensively. Sure his defense may not have been "All NBA" but half of these highlights are of him AFTER he blew out his knee early in his career in PHX. Living in AZ I am to think of these days many times. Stoudemire is an all time top 10 PF in this league. That's real
come on dude he was a center
Love Amare, STAT ✊🏽❤️ Respect from a Lakers fan, u were a great competitor against us
If not for injuries he could have been one of the best pf ever to play . he could shoot too . stretch the floor . put the ball on the floor . go around you . dunk on you . send your shot into the stands . he was an animal . only guy ive ever seen shit all over kg and duncan every time they played
Power Dunker.. Amare had that quick 1st step. More powerful version of James Worthy
He was humble man, somebody with this talent you would think he would be big headed being physically advanced.
One of my best of best..power forward his prime...
One of my favorite dunker of all time amere stodaumire.
So glad for these clips because sometimes we forget how certain guys were just amazing until they are not longer playing.
was a fan of Amare because of what he did in his prime. Man I miss that feeling.
Stoudemires dunks are insane !!!! gotdam ! this man highly underated... gotta be in my top 5 PF all time, as a rookie in some of them dunks too wtf
Man I miss him
NewYorkLoyal 81 me 2 bruh one of my all time favs
We miss these kinds of plays intodays game.
#32 Amare (Pre-First Knee Surgery) was a beast, right up there with Kemp and Blake!
He's past them Brodie... STAT had an unbelievable low post game and was a better defender and rebounder than Blake
@@shundon5932 I mean just pure athleticism and bounce. Don't sleep on Kemp as an overall player. He was right up there with the best PF's in the 90s (Malone, Barkley, etc)
great hands, solid footwork, strong finish, neat and clean.
my boy said he can return he has plenty in the tank still I believe it just watching these old highlights fr
I think Amare is like a jacked James Worthy
Haven’t watched an amare highlight vid in a few years but this popped up and now I’m in my feelings. Best dunking 4 ever, could finish on anybody.
3:30 send that to espn claiming LbJ never been dunked on,
Jordan Crawford dunked on him.
Lebron dipped last sec
Damn boi amare caught sum bodies more than i remember 🤣🤣🤣
Stoudemire was a beast I still remember when he dominated Duncan in his prime Duncan said he scary how good stoudamire will become then that summer I think he broke his leg another special player that could have been great
Hell naw dude he fuck his knee in that summer they lost to spurs when he blocks Duncan ball out the rim
Amare Stoudamire got those "make you do a stink face" kind of dunks.
Wish he would have stayed in Phoenix or NY never picked up Anthony.
V. Scott melo and injuries ruined his career. I wish he teamed up with lebron and got the ring he deserved
This era's Shawn Kemp for sure...
I’d say it was Blake
I just finished reading his book "stat"and havent watched his highlights till now. Good for him he made it
He was always one of my favorites ,if his knee injuries didn't slow him down he would still be a force
Amar'e Stoudemire would dunk on anyone 💪🏾
One of my favorite players
I laughed the whole time watching this 😂😂😂
Michael Jackson says you are not alone.
A pure beast!
One of my all time favourite players
The best POSTERIZER Ever!!!!. It's So tragic people forgot him 😭😭😭.
I thought he was everything you could want from a big man.. Nash is one of the greatest dishers of all time there was no wonder they won 60+ games & Knicks shiiii knicks was just cursed always have always will..
As a Suns fan seeing Nash and Amare in a pick a roll was a thing to beauty! The 7secs or less Suns team was the most exciting Suns team I have ever witness.
Was wondering when someone would have made a video about that beast!!
Suns was my team and Amare was my favorite in NBA 2k3 when I was 10. Almost never watch him live but he is my hero. Greetings from Turkey💪
one of the best..❤️☝🏽️ amariiiiiiii
Gotta love the commentary with Stoudemire playing 👍🏻👍🏻
One of the best at the time.
First Amare Stat. video that I’ve seen done right. Wow. Miss watching Amare throw down monster jams when he was with Phx. Go Suns!
Some people forget how awesome he was early on. He was literally the dunk king. He led the league in dunks as an undersized PF / C.
I personally see Zion being a little more like Amare in how he will be able to score, than anything else. Amare was basically all athleticism, and only refined his game due to injuries.

I doubt Zion will be a great, but an Amare Stoudemire career minus the injuries is not bad at all. Without the injuries Amare was on his way to superstardom, and was doing great in NY with Felton before Melo. Kinda miss this era of basketball.
One of the best finishers in pick n roll.
Great DUNKIN' video.
The year is 2021: I look back and think, remember when star power forwards were badass MFer’s? That was the best
ppl forgot how hard he dunk on lebron
Willie Gordon bro he never got dunked on by LeBron. lol im a fan on lebron but he did get dunked on by stoudemire Frfr i aint gotta lie
Earl Alexander yes he did, look it up. Lebron dunk on Amare Stoudamire and Amare has dunked on Lebron as well.
Earl Alexander he has they have both dunked on each other
Note how he doesn’t use that offhand to clear out the shot blocker, that’s pretty impressive.
he was too good at putting it on the floor and finishing with either hand for that off hand swatting nonsense
I can't believe that suns team couldn't win a championship together 😢😢😢
Lakers..
Spurs too
they were the best offence there but it was the last days of defense and defense used to win when it mattered the most.
Before his injury, he was one scary dude. I remember him dominating t im Duncan when Duncan was 1st team all defense
I miss amare in phx. Him and nash were and epic combo. Too bad injuries plagued his career.
Stat was literally taking people's heart
His 2004-05 season was one of the greats in dunking
Miss those days. Sweet assists too by mr Nash on allot of those.
He is the best dunker for me ever
He really drops people damnnn!
Man amare is a beast and the commentators are super funny
KG done fell to num 3 on my forward list 2000 and foward
He is the best power dunker of All-Time.
U won't see these big man dunks nomore they got everybody shooting jumpers scared to touch the paint.
I didn't know Amare posterized Lebron. How the hell is this the first time I am seeing this?
NBA and NIKE protecting their money man from embarrassment.
if amare played and he had good passer it is certain that any1 under the rim got posterized
Stat and Duncan was always a good duel. Stat and Aldridge matchup was second best.
