If you've ever played basketball - at any level - you know the best way to defend your opponent is to actually, oh, I don't know, face your opponent.

What don't you want to do? What Amar'e Stoudemire did Tuesday night against the Pistons.

Now let's really go deep into this and see Stoudemire frozen in time, staring off into space with seemingly no care in the world:

People on Twitter were not happy:
