Think Amar'e Stoudemire was fired up to play basketball again?
Stoudemire was 8-for-11 from the floor for a .727 field goal percentage in his 35 minutes of play during the Knicks' opener on Christmas Day. He achieved a percentage at least that high only four times last season, and two of those came in games in which he played less than 30 minutes.
JPP joins elite company
Giants second-year defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was selected to his first Pro Bowl this season after compiling a resume that included 15.5 sacks, 63 tackles, six passes defended and two forced fumbles. But it's also a historic season for Pierre-Paul. Only Gibril Wilson (92), Myron Guyton (75), Pepper Johnson (74) and Terrell Thomas (70) had more tackles in their second season with the Giants.
