Interesting choice on where he's attending, from his Twitter.

"Just enrolled at the University of Miami. Working on continuing my education"

If he's insistent on putting his hands though glass, he'll need that education to get another job...

Thats going to be this off seasons personal project. Last off season was video entertainment and fashion.

Go for yours amare. You better be ready for next season. You better come with that aggression and passion. Play like one of the top players at your position again. Or you are really going to be depressed when the boos are on you.

While Carmelo took all the heat this season, amare flew under the radar with one of his worst seasons as a pro. Not only were his numbers down. Not only did he miss the all star team. He played like a guy with nothing to gain.

Meanwhile, Carmelo is publicly disagreeing with the type of shape his coach thinks he's in but says he dont disagree.

Lin is out getting hammered with landry. While they appeal the CBA to get him paid.

Smith is on twitter. His father is his spokes person. Telling the world he is broke.

Woodson is changing agents.

And im stuck making excuses as to why my team was tossed early again.

Am I wrong for wishing we had the type of players that were committed to winning year round? The type of players that crawl under a rock and disappear for weeks after being eliminated from the playoffs? Like those guys who play in the city amare goes to school in?

Or like the defensive player of the year. You know a winner who hates losing. Whats his name? Tyson Chandler. Oh. Wait............. never mind.

I find it interesting because our team just lost to Miami in the playoffs and him announcing he's attending Miami University seems, at least to me, rubbing it in. I wish him the best though.
