What An Idiot

From ESPN:A left hand laceration will force Amare Stoudemire to sit out Game 3 of the New York Knicks-Miami Heat first-round playoff series, the team announced Tuesday evening. He is listed as doubtful for Game 4, scheduled for Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
Stoudemire suffered the laceration on the inside of his palm, on the side of his hand closest to the pinkie, after punching a glass case containing a fire extinguisher Monday moments after the Knicks' 104-94 loss to the Heat.
"He didn't haul off and punch the glass; he hit it out of frustration," a person who witnessed Stoudemire hitting the glass surrounding the fire extinguisher told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard. "He kind of slapped it, but with a closed fist. He said he thought it was plastic instead of glass.
"Half of his hand was just hanging off. It was really bad. Blood was just squirting out. That's why they had the paramedics come in, because they thought he might have punctured an artery because of how much blood was coming out."
A second league source said that amid the chaotic scene in the locker room, people could be heard calling for towels to tend to the injured Stoudemire, who already had bled onto the floor.

If the injury is bad as they say it it is, Stoudemire may have damaged some nerves or tendons in his hand.  As some who cut a tendon while opening a soup can about 25 years ago, if he cut a tendon, he will spend a couple of months rehabbing and a nerve will be even worse to rehab.
I would say Stoudemire stupidity would be the number 1 stupid thing in the NBA so far this year, but there have been so many stupid actions by players, that Stoudemire has some strong competition.  Like Ron Artest being suspended for 7 games for elbowing an opponent in the head.  The 1 saving grace for Stoudemire is that the Knicks have no chance against the Miami Heat, so his stupid injury will make no difference in the play off series.
