Uhhh, I would rather him hit nothing and not betray his team by eliminating his contributions for the rest of the playoffs. He may have just cost his teammates a championship. Looks like he has a ways to go.
Which would have been all of two games.
It was a very, dumb thing to do, as Stoudemire has admitted.
My main response was to the other poster derisively calling him a “tough guy” for hitting a fire extinguisher that can’t fight back. The implication was that a “real” tough guy would punch a human who could fight back. (Think Meta World Piece of &$^% visciously elbowing Harden).
As for the championship, after going down 2-0, it didn’t look like that was happening anyway.
At any rate, if this is the worst thing he ever does, he is OK in my book.
Stoudemire did not cost his team a championship. When the Knicks acquired Carmelo Anthony aka Mr. 1-on-5, THAT’S when they lost their championship hopes.
Any team who thinks they can win a championship with Carmelo Anthony is high off their a**. Carmelo is the most selfish and overrated player in the NBA.
You win a championship through having a team. Having Carmelo automatically disqualifies you on the “team” aspect.
