    I honestly believe this guy said that he don’t want Anthony, because he wants to be "the guy"…I think thats the main reason why he chose the Knicks in the first place, to use NY to get more fame/recognition and now that he is getting it with the MVP talk, endorsments, tv appearances…he wants to stay the man even if it means keeping just an ok team…They have a chance to upgrade big time and he would pass up wins for his ginormous ego. Thats just how he is.

    Incorrect.

    Your not gonna want anyone to come onto your current team and be the guy. Noone is ever gonna say " Well yeah, were a average team…bring in that superstar player…maybe he could make us better." Stats is alright and he’s speaking the truth, the Knicks are winning and the players on the team there gelling. He’s not gonna BEG for Carmelo.

    When did he say he doesn’t want Carmelo in NY? I highly doubt he feels that way, he shared the spotlight with Nash just fine.

    I read it a different way. I think what Amare is tryna say is that the Knicks don’t NEED Melo. Basically saying he has faith in his abilities as well as his teammates. I’m willing to bet a reporter asked him directly or indirectly if they NEED Melo

    holy lake show….i agree ^^^^^^

     

    Maybe Amare thought completely gutting the roster to bring in a selfish scorer who doesnt defend isnt a good idea?

    having Amare as their star player sounds like a recipe for disappointment in the upcoming years.

    No, you are incorrect. Players that actually WANT TO WIN do want other star players to join them; like Wade, LeBron, Paul, Melo, Rose, Westbrook, Love…hell, Kobe asked for Kidd. He is satisied getting the spotlight and being a boarderline team. Thats what they are.

    Noooo, he just wants to be the only one thats like that. He is the selfish scorer that doesn’t play D.

    And before the season started this is what Amare said

    I’ve talked to Carmelo Anthony that he needs to come out here," Stoudemire said. "I’ve talked to Tony Parker. Both guys are ready to join me if I decide to come here. So we will see if we can work it out.

    Sounds to me like He thinks the Knicks are better then he hoped and can win without adding Melo.

    How is this statement true……He is the true definition of a leader on a bad team prior to him coming.

    yea, lakeshow by the way he is talking it is obvious that he is indicating that he dn’t want Melo.. "we don’t need much" he says and this isn’t the first time he said they don’t need Melo. But they DO need much, much more…They are a playoff team thats first and out now…You need much more, Amare. That quote you shared was pre-season, he didn’t experience the MVP talk and spotlight yet, and now that he has, he dont wanna share it.

    But they don’t need more scoring., thats not a issue with this team. They need a big man and to play better defense.

     Coming from a guy with LeBron James as their avatar? Amare is giving it his all every time he steps out on the court, and is showing that he is a vocal leader. Maybe he’s smart with his way of thinking instead of being selfish. He likes this team, so why would he endorse sending half of it away when he could just be the man for one year, and probably get another star in the next two years, and keep the same team. Thats smart not selfish.

    To me Amare is being a good teammater and showing his current wing players that he is happy to be playing with them and think there good players.

    To me this a compliment to Fields, Chander, and Gallo.

    Steve Nash right now is the must unselfish star in the NBA. He could make any 4 of us look good on the court with him.

    So he’s selfish because he thinks the team as constructed is a team that can grow together without adding Melo??

    off wasnt lebron getting bashed because he left his team and thougth they wernt good enough now amare is saying he like his team and think they are good and hes getting bashed for it he WANTS to be the leader of this team not a sidekick like lebron is now

    and why would he say that he wants melo to the media that wud be a noob move encourage your teammates and give them support because wat if melo doesnt come. gallo chandler and fields would be thinkin amare doesnt like to  play with them and what not gallo is alrady so sensative u might start crying if amare said he want malo and that he needs melo to win

    but i think amare lied to the media here just to boost team morale i think he still wants cp3 and melo i think he is serious about winning

    someone said that amare was okay being next to another superstar in phx with nash

    to me this isnt always true

    amare left PHX to be the man in New York, im not saying he only left becuz he wanted to be the man.

    but personally, i dont think S.T.AT. is selfish

    Amare was actually willing to stay in PHX but they didnt wanna pony up the dough. He was ready to sign that contract and said as much plenty of times
