Amare is from a family of Cons

[LavaLamp]

Sorry for the confusion.

JMarkJohns, your posts are always well-thought out and respectful. No need to apologize.

I give the guy credit for rising out of a bad situation. It takes strength to do that.

He doesn't carry himself well, he doesn't speak well, but maybe with some more time and education he'll grow up some more. If he's really trying I gotta hand it to him.

Even if I don't like the way he handles himself.

I agree with you duncan228. There are times when I don't like the way Amare has handled things/events.

and now you show yet again that your He-Man lovin ass is just as stupid as Amare.

I never disputed that he WAS going to college, ever. Stupid asshole.

It's great that he can accomplish being a history major at Arizona State. I'm sure that's ING HARD. Maybe Jake Plummer can offer some tutoring.

Alot of us Spurs fans refer to Amare as dumb and stupid for clearing the bench and berating our team. Thats all, its just sports smack. Every teams fans do the same thing.

The kid was moved from high school to high school, I believe a total of six in four years. Chances are you aren't going to get a first-class prep education doing such.

Also, that statement was made two years ago. And even then, he had enough sense about him to admit that he didn't know anything about Capone. Instead of looking more like an idiot by pretending to know something he didn't, he admitted it up front, and then took the info and learned from it.

He's been in classes for a year. If it's his first exposure to real education, then, again, give him credit for sticking with it. He isn't running from it. He's learning and speaking highly of his future as a college grad.

He wants to learn. Make up for what he never got. You can mock it, which you will, you can mock him, which you have, but the guy is worth over 100 million and he's taking time out of his schedule to go to school, even taking summer courses, if I recall right.

So, mono, continue to hate the kid based on his current situation based upon an upbrining from he couldn't control or change.

Poor guy. His upbringing was tough. I'm sure all the WWII vets still alive would love for you to regale them with tales about how hard a life Amare Stoudemire's lived.

This is about the extent of my sympathy for him -



And excuse me for being cynical, but I'm sure that professors at ARIZONA STATE are going to be really tough on a member of the PHOENIX SUNS.

Mono, are you smarter than a fifth grader?

This question is not meant to insult. If you've ever watched the show, you'll find questions which you don't know the answer to. It doesn't mean you are stupid, dumb, or that you have an intelligence below fifth grade level. It just means that you do not know the answer to that particular question. IQ and knowledge are two different things.

As for Amare, i've never met him or spoken to him but i suspect he is not dumb. He just doesn't yet know certain things that we expect him to. His background is different from most of our backgrounds. So, he does not know about the prohibition. He'll learn about it when he needs to. How many of us know about surviving in a rough neigborhood? What are the common sense do's and don'ts in a neigborhood like the one Amare grew up in?

It really is unfair to call anyone at all dumb or stupid. It's probably not true. and if you do happen to call a mentally-re ed person stupid, then you have done something not so classy.

Yeah I've seen that show. Not to be arrogant, but I knew at least 90% of everything on those shows, and I'd probably laugh if someone who knows how to post at an internet message board didn't know as much as I did, if not more.

P.S. - It's good television for people to be stupid and not know the answers to easy ass questions. It's called ratings. Not all "reality" TV is absolute truth.

Very true. Amare has shown me to have very little of either. I'll just say "hip check" and leave it at that...

but I don't think anybody will really believe that he is one just cuz the rest of his family is ed up.

You've been at SpursTalk long enough to know that's not the truth.

That all you got? Well at least it didn't involve star wars, thats at least an improvement.

What did I duck? The fact that you called Dirk heartless? At least he had the heart to lead his team to a finals appearance, which is more than can be said for Nash/Stoudamire.

Haha will this become another "Sun fan starts attempting really lame smack talk and then gets his ass handed to him for 15 pages" thread?

It's looking that way.

Although on the same token, I'm guessing that this is the exact same type of thing that happened last year between Mavs and Spurs fans, i.e. "Mav fan attempts really lame smack talk and gets his ass handed to him for 15 pages".

Yea but at least last year mav fans had something to brag about to spur fans. Sun fans are just bitter losers with no reason to be talking .
