Amar'e Stoudemire became another victim of a bigger name, even in a winning effort. Kobe Bryant was given the MVP, yet Stoudemire, in only 21 minutes, totaled 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks in a blowout win.

On 14 of 22 shooting, Stoudemire's 50.8 PER is both unbelievable and understandable at the same time. In line with his efficiency, Stoudemire produced 0.2 win shares despite limited minutes and recognition.
