Prior to Game 3, I submitted a few questions to NBA.com as part of the Blogger Q&A with Kenny Smith. On the heels of two substandard performances by Amare Stoudemire in L.A., one of the questions I posed to Smith was whether or not he was playing himself out of a max contract with his performance against the Lakers.
D’oh! If you don’t like the question, Kenny, pick a different one! Come on!
But I still wonder — even though Stoudemire will almost certainly sign a max deal this summer, is he really worth it?
