Amare suffers torn iris

From ESPN.

Of particular note: "Stoudemire, who will miss the team's public scrimmage on Friday, will likely wear goggles when he returns to the court -- possibly Sunday -- and might wear them for the rest of his career."

Now, the article says it wasn't anything too serious and that it wasn't as bad as if it had been the retina or cornea, but if it's so minor, why is the next 10-12 years an issue?

I'm hoping that somehow Amare will channel some kind of bizarre Bo Outlaw psychotic defensive energy because of the goggles, if nothing else. Or maybe a Kurt Rambis vibe.

ed note: Let's not forget that it was the new tougher Boris Diaw that inflicted this injury. I am glad to see Boris get more aggressive. I hope he would do so with out a) injuring our star player and b) resorting to scratching and clawing to make a point

Perhaps....

he can go with a whole badass mask thing such as those in the game Army of Two, crazy Judge Dread helmet, or at least some cool WWI aviator goggles.

 You know….mix it up a bit.

Amazing

Yup that is exactly the kind of stuff STAT should rock.

Someone please put up the pic of the Army of Two masks to contrast with the one above. I’d do it but at work I cant access media pages like photobucket.

You guys are amazing…hahaha. Our star player is hurt and somehow you guys make fun out of it. Hard times have toughen us up!
As far as I’m concerned he should wear the Darth Vader mask.

Hah - after microfracture?

We laugh at anything short of amputation.

Amare is moving.

I can’t wait to see the goggles he has designed.
