    damn you have issues man. there were a ton of other people who thought that crossover was funny. do they all hate yao? and just cause amare said it was one of the funniest things he saw from his rookie year then that means he wants yao to fail?

    yeah amare is cocky and he thinks he is better than yao but it doesn't mean he wants yao to fail.

    go live in your fantasy world.

    First of all, he did not say it was the funniest moment, he said it was the best moment.

    Secondly, he did not just laugh at the incident. He did not let out a hearty chuckle or guffaw. He rolled around on the bench in complete hysteria for what seemed like minutes. They cut back to him several times after it occured, and he continued to animatedly roll around on top of his teammates. I interpreted his actions as attempting to show Yao up, and obviously I'm not the only one. Bringing it up at the end of the season further indicates that that was his intent.

    Even though it is wrong, I do feel a lil bit giddy inside to see amare in his current state now. His arrogance, or maybe just way he smirks just pisses me off.

    I am just a hater I guess.

    That was 4 years ago. Look at where Yao is now. Has Amare said anything else during that time?

    People know how to keep grudges....

    Hate him or not, I still wanted him healthy to battle with Yao for many yrs to come.

    Well, there still appears to be confusion of "funny" with "favorite."

    Another article:

    If you think he's humbled.... think again. He's still the same arrogant ass we've come to know.

    That is not very good news if you are an Amare lover.

    As they say, character matters ...

    Judging from that article he screwed the Suns in a royal way when he signed that contract.

    Looks like Robert Sarver is still pissed off about it.

    Sarver is another moron though so I dont feel sorry for him.

    I'm sure they have ins. to help defray the costs of his contract, but he does take up a roster spot...The Suns are still good w/o him, but would be better if he were 100%, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen...

    Frustration of Sarvar. Looks like Sarvar is a whole lotta pissed he got fleeced by Amare. First he screws them over financially, not he is being a punk and not giving 100% for a comeback.

    Amare knew he had knee pains. How convinient that the knee be examined right after a multi-million dollar contract was signed. Microfracture...chronic artheritis....

    Of course I dont blame him for doing so. He would be stupid to pass up on the offer of millions and take a full exam before signing the contract.

    Robert Sarvar's claims that the Suns knew about the problem before hand makes the Suns organization look even more stupid.
