They don't play dirty, and I appreciate that. They are y a lot, but most of the time they have good at udes and play fair.
TD, I was reading your signature. You know, if I remember the Suns were winning the game when Amare did his push ups.
I remember watching that game and thinking it's over, the Spurs wouldn't allow that.
I think Amare learned an important lesson there.
Amare with another class line.
A 5 year old came up to him, prob about a few days after the Spurs eliminated the Suns, and asked him for an autograph.
Mind you he said this to a 5 year old.
"I dont do not damn autographs"
I lost all respect for him after that.
It's too easy to criticize athletes and celebrities for turning away autographs.
If you seen Punk'd with Dirk, to think that probably happens all the time. Imagine being hounded day and night for your name to be written on something or a photo to be taken.
Not knowing that if it's an adult it will likely go up for sale somewhere.
I remember Eminem telling a story about how people would wait outside of the bathroom stall he was using to ask for his autograph.
People think celebrities and atheletes "owe" them. It's a crazy world. Just because they have money and make it because of the fans spending their dollars.
Does that mean Taco Bell employee Joe owes you a taco because you see him at Wal Mart and you recognizes who you are?
oh horse in .It's too easy to criticize athletes and celebrities for turning away autographs.
It was a 5 year old.
Only a in blind homer would defend that punk ass.
that is a horrible analogyDoes that mean Taco Bell employee Joe owes you a taco because you see him at Wal Mart and you recognizes who you are?
source?
It's the same in context. The only difference is that Taco Joe is not a celebrity. That's it. His money is made the same way. Not quite as much, about a $5/hr difference I think.
I'm not defending what Amare did, but rather rationalizing it. He probably doesn't have second to himself. Every corner he turns is a fan wanting, asking, demanding.
The same for all celebrities. if you are lucky Barkley will toss you threw a window.
By the way Amare also steals his neighbors newspaper. Not only does he shun kiddies from getting his name on a piece of paper, he also steals newspapers.
BTW, when I was 15 and my brother was 13, we went to a few baseball games.
Michael Jordan was playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions at the time. My brother and I, my brother had a broken arm mind you, happened to come upon him after the game, he refused to look our way and sent a guy to make sure we wouldn't get close.
I went to a Cubs - A's spring training game in Mesa when Harry Caray was alive. He flat out refused to sign the seat cushion I bought to specifically have him sign. A waste of $20 and a 16 yr old kid's broken heart.
Yet I understand those situations. I was probably the 100th person at least to ask Harry Caray for an autograph. I was probably the ten millionth person to ask for an autorgraph from his airness. No biggie that they said.
a friend of mine who is a pastor, at the carnival at the church he works at, that was with the boy during the carnival.source?

michael jordan was a classic asshole, the jordan rules and other people who have followed him around have proven that.
Now there is some heresay.
I like Amare and all the Suns, although D'Antoni looks like he is going to start crying everytime he doesn't get a call to go his way. They have also made me a lot of money this postseason whipping up on Memphis and Dallas.
