This past offseason the New York Knicks have made some big moves to improve their team. The last few years has been full of heart break and pain for Knicks fans. It seemed like in every close game, or games they had a lead over 10 points, the Knicks would find a way to lose it in the fourth quarter.

| Amare Stoudemire |
This season is different though. The Knicks signed power forward Amare Stoudemire this offseason and he has provided an immediate spark that the Knicks needed to start being considered as a legitimate contender for the NBA title. Stoudemire is averaging just over 26 points, 9 rebounds and over 2 blocks per game and was a stand out favorite for the East in the all-star voting this season. Amare has been a stand out performer this entire season by setting the Knicks record for most consecutive 30 point games this season with 8 in a row.
Amare will be the first player for the Knicks to be announced a starter for the East All-Stars since Patrick Ewing did it the early 1990's. Tonight the Knicks will face the Miami Heat which will showcase East teammates Lebron James and Dwayne Wade.
yes, the knicks are relevant again. amare is a beast. but i think gallonari is the key to the knicks playoff run. that's a big 3 for real. Felton, STAT, and Gallo.
