<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <div class="bi">Stoudemire Now A Captain</div> <div> <span style="font-style: italic">Nov 7</span> - The Suns lost more than an All-NBA center as Amaré Stoudemire sat out the past two games with a sore right knee. They were without a captain.</p> </p> Stoudemire will turn 25 on Nov. 16 and has matured to the point where he has joined Steve Nash and Shawn Marion as team captains.</p> </p> "He's taken ownership of the team and shown the ability to really do what's best for them," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He's shown leadership and hard work. It's only right to reward that. He and Shawn and Steve will lead the way for us." -- <font color="#000000">Arizona Republic</font></p></div></div>
I like Stoudamire but a 25 year old with these many injury problems isn't comforting.</p> Good for him making captain though.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GArenas)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> After continuesely reitirating his dislike for the Suns, why is Shawn Marion a team captain?</p> </div></p> </p> He doesn't dislike the Suns. He just thought it was time to move on. Wish he said it back when we tried to trade him to Boston or anywhereelsein the KG 3 way deal.</p>
I also like Amare, but I notice Phoenix seems more efficient on offense when Diaw is in the starting lineup.</p>
I think that Amare is a good captain. And as for Marion he was just upset because he loves Phoenix and doesn't want to leave but is being considered in all of these trades so he is just getting sick of it. But Amare will be a good Captain even if he is not healthy. a captain is not only on the court but off the court and in the locker room. And I think that he would be awesome in all three categories!!!</p>
