THE OPPONENT

Amar'e Stoudemire has rounded into form, and Steve Nash never oozed out of the mold. Jason Richardson (pictured above, catching an invisible hard-boiled egg in an invisible catcher's mitt during his imaginary game of eggball) has cooled off significantly, which is odd considering it takes invisible hard-boiled eggs forever and a day to cool off significantly. I have the mouth scars to prove it.
