Amare Stoudemire Phoenix Suns home jersey dating to the 2005/06 season. The white dry-fit jersey is lettered "Suns" across the front and features the number "32" on the front and reverse. "Stoudemire" is lettered on the reverse above the number. All front letters and numerals are appliquéd in purple on orange tackle twill. All reverse letters are appliquéd in purple. Situated on the left front tail are a "Reebok" label, a "50" size tag, a "2005-2006" year tag, and a flag tag that reads "+4 Length." An NBA patch is located on the left breast and a Suns team patch appears on the reverse above the name. The jersey is completely original, with no alterations, and displays light use. The Phoenix Suns drafted Amare Stoudemire out of high school in 2002. Their decision proved to be the right one, as Stoudemire was named the NBA Rookie of the Year at season"™s end. Today, the talented power forward remains a key member of the high-scoring Phoenix Suns. Stoudemire suffered a knee injury prior to the 2005/06 season. Although he returned to the club late in the year, he only appeared in three games, averaging 8.7 points per game during his limited time on the court. The 2005/06 season was the last year in which Stoudemire wore number "32," as he changed to number "1" in 2006/07. Graded A5 by MEARS (no post-1987 jersey can achieve a higher grade than A5 without additional provenance). LOA from Dave Bushing & Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $200. Estimate $400/$600.
