Never

I have no ill putrid feelings towards Amare. Unfortunately, injuries got the best of him. He was never complacent or gave up on his rehab when he did get hurt. You always saw him working out and training. Hell, he even opened up his game and adjusted when he lost his athleticism later on in his career.

As fans, we can never be upset with him for contract he was given. He was healthy when he signed with us and had a Hell of a run. If we were in his shoes, we'd all do the same thing.

I'll always appreciate Amare for what he did for us, because if he never came here we probably wouldn't be where we are now. No Melo, no Rose, no Noah, no Porzingas, no Phil. We would've been a team without any direction or hope. I know we haven't won much these past few years, but I'd say we're in a much better place now than we were back when Isaiah Thomas was running the team.

I'm glad to see Amare has finally come to terms with his career and hopefully he can start his new life after basketball. I know there will always be a place for him in the Garden and eventually everyone will someday also appreciate Amare.

As the say goes, "Once a Knick, always a Knick"

I respect it but his best days were with the Suns.

He was too filthy :x

Agreed

Surprised that Amar'e chose us over the Suns

Not that I am complaining tho

Even though his defense was a pain in the butt but he gave his best as much as he can

Amare probably chose us because we're the only team where he was the leader but then Melo came

That's my guess....

 

[sharpshooter718]

signing of Amare had me refreshing my fb page like we was back in 2010... wtf

he's good for 12-15 mins a game

Stoudemire blocking LeBron is one of my favorite Knicks moments in recent memory

Either that or redeem after signing with the Heat

I won't be surprised if Amar'e wanted to work for the Knicks in the future: Knicks business operations representative just like Larry Johnson

 

[redd spyder]

Agreed

man those mia vs nyk games were real fights.

Is the GIF of him dunking on LBJ still around?

Or has it been wiped off the face of the planet along with all other LeBron dunk ons?

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Wow, shout out to Amar'e. I always respected how he embraced the City before the ink was dry on the contract. He welcomed the burden of being a leader of this franchise.

That 1st half of his 1st year was special. Legit MVP candidate.

My dude always came across as a stand up guy. I suspect he might try to finesse a Herb Williams/Allan Houston role with Dolan.

*salute* to STAT.

 

[Master Zik]

Oh I see now.

Whatever.

His best moments were that block and scoring a bunch of points a few times.

 

[art vandelay]

NOOOOOO STAT!!!!!!!

 

[you go boy]

when amare signed here i was like yes the Knicks are really back... i was truly a fan of his when he joined this team... didnt know too much about him on phoenix but i was disappointed when he left here... it was like he just wanted his money so he came here then when the team struggled he wanted out of here... i just didnt appreciate that but other than that i respect his game and enjoyed that first year he was here

I'll never forget that moment. I was with my dad in the living room watching. Amare blocks LeBron and my dad and I are jumping up and down giving eachother high-fives.

Man, that was an awesome game.
