Happy 44th birthday to six-time NBA All-Star, five-time All-NBA selection, 2002-03 Rookie of the Year and Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2026 member, Amar'e Stoudemire!

Stoudemire was of the generation of players making the leap directly from high school to the NBA, getting selected with the ninth-overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns. Joining a lineup with Shawn Marion, Stephon Marbury and Penny Hardaway, Stoudemire started 71 games as a rookie while averaging 13.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks-per-game.

Stoudemire would play the first eight seasons of his career with the Suns, ending his time there averaging 21.4 points and 8.9 rebounds before joining up with Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks in 2010. Unfortunately, he struggled to consistently remain on the floor for the Knicks and their attempt at a “Super Team,” to rival others in the Eastern Conference ultimately failed. 

Stoudemire played in the NBA until 2015-16 and logged one season in Israel before hanging up his shoes for good after the 2016-17 season.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to be named NBA Rookie of the Year since the Lottery era began in 1985 can you name in six minutes? 

Good luck!
