I've already discussed the monster night that Amare Stoudemire put up against the Indiana Pacers ... twice, in fact. This video shows how much fun STAT was having in the process. After an absolutely posterizing dunk on Jeff Foster, Amare celebrated a little by thumping his chest, which is something that the much smaller Travis Diener did not appreciate.
Amare blatantly flops after the semi-shove from Diener, and is laughing the entire time. You know, like anyone else who watched this and thought it was a little odd that Diener might be able to have that type of physical effect on someone who's nine inches taller and out-weighs him by roughly 75 pounds.

I absolutely love the chest pounding followed immediately by the exaggerated flop. The NBA - where men acting like gorillas and panty-waists all at once happens.

Oh god Amare, that was lame! I'm not even sure Vlade Divac would have flopped there ;)
Take it from Steve Nash, this is how you get respect!! LOL!!

it's loose, but isn't chest pounding while standing over someone considered taunting and warrants a technical?
now, he was facing backwards, but Diener did the right thing.
