Two tweets, and a quote represent what happened between Amar'e Stoudemire and that damn fire extinguisher.
First, from Amare:
I am so mad at myself right now, I want to apologize to the fans and my team, not proud of my actions, headed home for a new start
— Amar'e Stoudemire (@Amareisreal) May 1, 2012
Then, from the internet prophet that is Dragonfly Jonez:
Punk ass Amare beating up fire extinguishers and shit. Fight yo nose (redacted).
— D'Brickashaw (@DragonflyJonez)
Finally, Charles Barkley from Inside The NBA:
"Why didn't he (Amare) hit the thing (fire extinguisher) the other day, when they lost by 35? They only lost by ten today." — Charles Barkley
Amare, you've clearly lost your damned mind. Do better, and go be a father to your kids, man. Here is your morning reading for Tuesday.
