The Twitter incident with Amar'e Stoudemire is another case of careless fan and player/celebrtiy interaction.

The thing that makes me laugh is the way the kid went about the situation.

He states that he is a huge New York Knicks fan, but does not hesitate to get the NBA star into trouble, by retweeting the conversation he and the baller had.

The people over at Yahoo.Sports.com took the time to go through the player and fan's interaction.

So what I don't get from the fan is why he would broadcast the tweet, especially knowing the way Commissioner David Stern has a chokehold around players in the league.

Simply an example of an over excited fan getting retweeted by an athlete. Later on after Amar'e apologized, the fan said this, which just makes him look like a complete freeloader.

People seem to forget one fact, players are also human. 

Imagine if after Amar'e's reaction, Commissioner Sten would have decided to suspend the player instead of giving him the $50K fine? Then how would this fan expect the player to come back and make a difference in the team?

Now, I am by no means defending Stoudemire's words or actions.

At the end of the day he is an example to the youth and the people that follow basketball. After this altercation, he looked like a bigot.

Players have to find a better way of disregarding comments that are distasteful to them.

There are plenty of athletes on twitter who simply mock those "fans" that try to insult them. Atlanta Braves' relief pitcher, Peter Moylan, retweets the messages people send him and, maybe, rights something funny in relation to the tweet.

Amar'e seemed to put out his 2012 frustrations on this fan who lured him into a trap. 

Just like athletes have to take care of themselves in public, they will have begin making smarter decisions through social media networks. 

Let's be real, fans are not going to stop talking and NBA players are going to stay in touch with those who support them.
