Knicks Fan @DrewAustin and Knick @AmareIsreal Debate on Twitter
A heated Twitter debate between Knicks Fan @DrewAustin and @AmareIsreal. Drew Austin had a gripe with Amare Stoudemire attending the Heat vs. Celtics game as he felt it was disrespectful to Knicks fans and the rivalry.
- **I know I spelt Stoudemire wrong, in the URL, I just have no idea how to edit it in Storify once it is published.
- Below was the original tweet that went viral last night and was re-tweeted countless times. Demonstrates that a large group of people had similar feeling as I did when we saw Amare Stoudamire sitting front row at the Miami Heat game.
Really hate that @Amareisreal is sitting court side at a heat game. I hate modern day players! No chance #Ewing wouldve went to a bulls game- How you going to sit and root for the team that eliminated u from the playoffs. Damn @Amareisreal, that's awful.
- I slept on it. Trade @Amareisreal! He went to cheer on the Heat after they eliminated us. Ewing Oakley Starks spirits turning in the rafters
- The tweet above was what what I sent this morning, in which right after I started seeing DM responses from Amare Stoudamire.
- @amareisreal I can't DM you a response unless you follow me. Can you honestly say that my gripe is not legitimate?
- @amareisreal You had to feel uncomfortable being there. Knowing this would be frowned upon by NYers, a city with an old school mentality
- @amareisreal I just want an honest answer. Do you think KG is going to attend a Heat finals game if they lose this series?
- @Amareisreal last thing 2 say, stop goin to games n playin dress up, work on ur post up game. U got a few years in this league make em count
- @Amareisreal in response to ur DM to me "wow bro, you really think I was cheerin for the Heat" yes I do, Y be there. Hit a park 2 watch ball
- @Amareisreal I really wish we could take this debate public instead of DM. But you wouldn't. So I'll respond here because I can't DM you
- In reply to "I got more then a few. Don't worry about me. You have much more to worry about then another man." - @Amareisreal
- @amareisreal Im a Knick fan, I could care less 4 u on a diff team. I doubt u were a fan b4 u were pro, bc ud respect the nature of a rivalry
- @Amareisreal once u put on that jersey, i support you. I HATE the heat. U should too. Respect your fans.
- @Amareisreal u want and deserve respect. Legit. Then respect your fans that want more. We don't like the heat. We hate watching them move on
- @Amareisreal so we have to sit there and watch our superstar enjoy a heat game front row. #cmonman ur better than that
