Amare's Jersey Strip Down

[Chaz]

I just assumed he had stock in the undershirt company.

It's disturbing that Mike D'Antoni is making a spectacle of himself on the sidelines, trying to show up the refs on every call against the Suns.

Of course it carries down to his players.

It's going to hurt us in the playoffs.

Players won't bring it under control until the Head Coach does.

I think just the opposite. In the past, DAntoni's philosophy was not to complain about calls because it slows down the game. But we watched Pop and the Spurs work the refs constantly and guess what, it provides and advantage.

We've got to let them have it at every questionable call. The refs need to know that if they get it wrong against us, they are going to hear about it mercilessly. To do anything less, is to not be competitive in this league.

did anyone else see the golden state game tonight? stephen jackson was wearing the exact same under shirt as amare, and he took his jersey off right when the final buzzer sounded as well. very strange.

It's obviously Nike....not under armour (rofl @ it being under armour)

 

[PoolBoy]

he did a whole interview with EJ today wearing it, kinda funny...

 

[elindholm]

It's not one of those motion-capture leotards for a video game?

Ya know, after seeing his interview (no audio, tho) it dawned on me why Amare has to keep changing marketing companies.

He's just not marketable. First of all he's a walking cliche. "No doubt about it, yada, yada, yada". Cliche after cliche. He's not quoteable. And when he does get quoted, it just comes out wrong. "Kobe is the best player (that was last year when they asked him if Nash should get another MVP), I should be mentioned for MVP," etc.

Secondly, it freaks me out the way he stares into the camera all the time. Um...you're supposed to look natural, Amare. Not stare at the camera.

He's not 'natural.' (see above camera comment). He doesn't seem to have much of a personality. I've heard Leander and EJ say he can be very charismatic, but his public persona just doesn't convey that. He looks so much more approachable when he smiles but, for some reason, he rarely smiles.

No wonder Shaq gets all the endorsements and poor Amare gets none.

And no, I'm not hating on him (because I do love his game) but just an observation from someone who worked in PR/Mktg/Advertising for many years in NYC.

I love when he stares at the camera when he is being interviewed. So intense, it cracks me up every single time. At this point it's kinda his thing.

Little known fact DeAnna also though New Coke was a fantastic idea in her day.

JK...

Amare "No doubt about it."

D' Antoni "yada yada yada...we're good." shrugs shoulders =(meaning: good to go)

Chambers "That's good stuff."

Eddie Johnson "Young guys have to understand ...yada yada yada."


What are some other repetative quotes?

 

[Nash2Amare]

This subject was just an email on My45's pregame (Why Amare takes his jersey off..)


TC just assumed because of the Nike logo. Pretty obvious.

In a couple of years, this is going to be “Amare’s Brooklyn Strip Down.”
