Here we go with high expectations, not from fans that know this team well, but the rest that either believes these empty words or uses them to meassure them during the next season.

I think Amar'e is the least that should be talking. Of our "so called" big three, he has to be the weakest because of his unexisting defense, lack of rebounding, inconsistent scoring, lots of turnovers and lack of mental strength highlighted by a fight with a fire extinguisher. As mentioned above, this is a pretty weak attempt at avoiding a trade, which would've been easy had he played up to his potential an respected the team by not injuring himself during an already uphill battle with a better team.

I wish the Knicks were like the Yankees in regards to talking vs. backing up your words. You may like or dislike the Yanks, but guys like Jeter and Mariano represent all of what's good about sports: respect, class, dignity, accountability and consistency. They've had their bad season, yet they never of sight their purpose and never disrespect the game with empty talk and no action.

I agree. Stat needs to STFU and bring it on the court. All he did this season (and especially in the playoffs) was make every fan who cares about Knicks hoops lose respect for him. If he continues to be a do-little big mouth, he will go on perma ignore.
