![]() Just spit up my drink reading this. Amar'e trying to position himself as Mr. Optimist in his contract year. Sorry, he may be trying to motivate, but it is coming of as homerish.
http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/60201/amare-atlantic-division-still-wide-open Still, Amar'e Stoudemire views the Atlantic Division as "wide open" at this point. “With Toronto and [DeMar] DeRozan being hurt now, you never know how that team is going to end up. Brooklyn’s not playing great. The division is still open,” Stoudemire said after the Knicks' loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday night. "We've just got to turn this thing around." I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!

What do you expect him to say? Yes we blow balls? Or admit they are tanking? He is saying the right things. Why be negative in a situation like this? He and the team have nothing to gain from it.

Sorry, he may be trying to motivate, but it is coming of as homerish. Wha? His options for speaking are not only chocolate or vanilla. He can say Pistachio for all I care. He lacks any nuance in those statements, so yeah it comes off as Homerish. I'm not prosecuting him for it. It just sounded silly. I don't expect him to say things like "we're gonna catch Toronto gosh darnit" when the team needs to focus on winning a single game. I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!
