Really you guys are talking about fashion?
I am pretty sure I know exactly how this went down:
- Designer was looking for an NBA player to be the $ behind her NBA-centric designs
- Designer found Amare or his agent, gave a pitch about it being a business opportunity
- Amare put his $ behind the project in exchange for a split of the proceeds once he was entirely recouped, and got a creative credit
Notice they say "Designer TEAMED UP with Amare...". I guarantee she did most of the work.
You really think we think this is about "fashion"? Hah!
I really don't care if Amare spends his every waking, non-playing hour pondering what color of pink to mach his suspenders too!
This is the equivalent of Derek Jeter pimping his ass out, and building up his "brand" (ah, yes, Amare and his love for his "brand", more on this later) and wallet.....by teaming up to design and spread Boston Red Sox paraphenalia!
Dude, saying that this designer "did most of the work"? Like that absolves Stoudemire in *any* way! Of course she did most of the work -- Amare is a ****ing fool, and ostensibly an NBA power forward for the NY Knicks. I have no doubt that he *doesn't* possess the actual abilities of an actual renaissance man to dabble in the arts and excel!
This is so simple....a so-called New York Knick superstar, who constantly *talks* up about being a true Knick, and being all about the Knicks and the Knicks winning.....TEAMED UP to build a piece of clothing, celebrating an arch-rival (and yes, teaming up is possibly even *worse* than him actually having the ability to design some t-shirt that he was actually able to get a buyer for).
This ****ing fraud walks on water to pull a stunt like this, and not be mercilessly flamed and called out.
Can you imagine Paul Pierce TEAMING UP to HELP build a New York Knick shirt, worn by New York Knick fans......:couto: And to be worn by LaLa, while Melo beasts down Pierces and other Celtics' throats!
This isn't just absolute stupidity that he would let this happen (and make it for MIA!), or that he is a fraud of a ****ing Knick who speaks more double-speak than a character from Animal Farm...it's a complete combination of the two.
It shows such a lack of class, awareness, and dignity that it's nearly mind-boggling. And when you factor *this* into everything else surrounding this fool and his fraudulent politiking to the media, and gimp defense and game? Hah...This is the true penultimate to him just telling NY Knick fans to suck his dick while he rides out the rest of his already-bloated, 20M/year deal.
