There was a brief period of time before the Knicks traded for Carmelo that Amare was dominating, but once Melo came that all ended.

For now, it appears Amare will have to dominate the bench, but at least he is getting healthy.

“I feel better than I did two days ago,” he said. “I hope I feel better tomorrow and two days from now. I’m going to continue to try to improve and get to 100 percent. I’m still working towards that.”

He said he’s on pace “to return back to dominance.”

Good luck with that STAT.
