PrintI know you will be as surprised as I am that Amare felt the need to pimp Amare's favorite player for the All Star game.
When Chris Bosh did this last year it was novel and funny. This is just kind of pathetic and not in the least bit surprising. To be fair, it is kind of funny and tries to be self-deprecating. But still...
Amare listen. If you want to be an All Star play your game on the court. We all know how great you are and how much greater you can be. Defend your man. Rebound the ball. Play smart. Be a leader. Dominate the ball when it's called for and play within the team system when it's not.
Over produced video's aren't going to help your cause. In fact it kind of makes you look silly. And needy. And unappreciative of your fans and your own skilz.

Well
If he comes out of this season looking overall better on D and rebounding on both ends thens I wont sweat things like this. We’ll see though.

I think there should be a "Meh" option on the poll, because that's how I feel.
Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."
that's option 2

he didn't really put in the effort
simply casting barbosa as the afro-wearing friend would’ve made this about 800% funnier.

I thought it was Barbosa initially; it saddened me when I realized it wasn't.

Missed the mark completely
Self-deprecating humor is an art. This vid probably needed focus groups before being released.
Everything must go.
funny how stuff hits and misses
I agree, this was a miss, and not a little miss at that. (I just said “little miss” in my post about amare :-)
Ok, here’s a video that hit the mark, different humor, but, good I think,
