VIDEO: Amar'e Stoudemire whiffs on block attempt

Amar'e Stoudemire said earlier this week that he feels dominant again for the first time in a while.

This probably isn't what he had in mind.

The block attempt and volleyball spike were honorable, and you could even say the hops were encouraging for a guy whose knees have failed him over the years.

The result? Not so much.

Stoudemire finished with six points, three rebounds and a block in 14 minutes of action Wednesday, as the New York Knicks fell to the Boston Celtics, 106-86, in their preseason opener.
