If I was his teammate I'd tell him to shut the fxck up and learn to take his own advice.

not exactly...he means everyone on the team collectively, he followed that up by using "we" a lot.

Amare likes to say "we" a lot but everyone knows he's not including himself. He doesn't take responsibility for not doing what he wants other to do on the court.

Why is he demanding they do things he doesn't? He doesn't use his brain on the court. He's a pretty low IQ player on the court. Insulting his teammates when he is probably worse will not win him many points or inspire confidence.

We need a better leader for this team.

I agree he doesn't have a very high IQ but I still think he was talking as a group not just other players. To be fair we don't know what the question was or how it was phrased. Amar'e will snap out of it, I've always said great players don't just lose it over night.

Relax, STAT is gonna come around. He looks like crap now but so does most of the league. He's too good of a player to continue this trashy play. It's evident that without a quality PG his play suffers. He's taken responsibility before too so don't act like he's always calling other people out without holding himself accountable. After the Magic game he blamed himself for getting into early foul trouble. Easy fellas.
Make the Knicks great again!

amare, you gotta start putting your butt into defenders bro!

i mean, we saw him make a couple of running hooks against phoenix, he probably could have a serviceable post game if he really tried . . .

Let's remember that he spent a large part of the summer resting his back and not being able to do anything.
