Amar'e Stoudemire said players are "not budging" on their stance of getting 53% of basketball-related revenue, and that the focus should remain "to keep the game competitive."

Stoudemire also has reservations about how new rules would change the play on the floor.

"By changing certain rules, it's going to make the game not as competitive," Stoudemire said. "It's going to make players more selfish, shoot more, (try for) better stats for themselves as opposed to (helping the) team."
