Knicks' Stoudemire: Lakers' Gasol Is 'Still Soft'; Bynum Tweets Back
NEW YORK (WFAN) -- Amar'e Stoudemire, don't hold anything back. Tell us how you really feel.
During an appearance this weekend, Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg asked Stoudemire: "People used to love to throw it out there that Pau Gasol was soft ... what's it like actually having to go up against Pau Gasol?"
"He's still soft, you know what I mean," Stoudemire replied to laughter. "He's a good player, but he has also help down there with Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum. Those 7-footers down there. So he has a supporting cast."
Rosenberg then posted the clip to YouTube, where it's now drawing the ire of Lakers fans --- and at least one player.
Bynum, Gasol's teammate in Los Angeles, tweeted in response: "The NBA is a weird place! How can a man that plays 0 defense call a 2 time champion soft?"
"You think scoring the ball in a D'Antoni offense makes you a great player?" one commenter asked. "You put me in that D'Antoni offense I could average 10 points a game."
Amar'e may have a chance to test Gasol's strength on the court. That is, if the Knicks can manage a run to the NBA Finals.
Do you think Amar'e was out of line? Sound off in the comments below...
