You were the MVP of a game with plenty of dunks. What can you say about it?

Amare Stoudemire: The athletic skills we've shown in the game have been amazing and it all has brought a great show. But, well, that's what the All-Star is about and that's what we've done here. Just scoring a lot of points in the best fashion.

What play did you like the most?

AS: I think the two between-the-legs dunks. Both LeBron's dunk and the one Tayshaun Prince did after that one.

It's going to be a tough second part of the season for the Suns in the Western Conference. There are no playoffs for you this year.

AS: Whatever we accomplish, we are going to do it by working the hardest we can to win games. Even though we are not going to be in the playoffs, you have to develop a good chemistry on the team and go from there -- next season and in the future.

In that future, it seems you are going to be the star in Phoenix, right?

AS: I like the role of leader. It sounds good to me. I'll try to lead my teammates to the highest point possible now that I'm OK physically.

But there's a lot to improve.

AS: We'll do that, we'll improve. It's just a matter of time. Being patient. Michael Jordan said that to win, you have to lose first -- and that's it. Give us time.
