Amare Stoudemire on Entourage

Back in January we posted the rumor of Stat appearing on HBO's Entourage, and here is the clip...

Amare: Foot Locker Educators 2 Commerical

Its funny that NIKE gives STAT the props of a OG in these commericals yet that can't find a correct signature shoe for him. Last season Amare rocked the nike huarache 2011, which arent even Basketball sneakers(they fall under the Cross-Trainer Class). In the past I've posted kicks that NIKE would have liked to had made the sig shoe for him but they never worked out for whatever reason.

Amare says chances of playing abroad are "High"

With the 2011-2012 season in jeopardy with the lock-out is Amare ready to take his talents across seas?

"All the clubs have called the office inquiring about me," Stoudemire said. "Teams from Israel, China, Turkey, Spain. A lot of countries have been calling."


"The chances would be high" of playing elsewhere in a lockout, Stoudemire said. "They'd definitely be high. I just want to make sure I'm healthy and totally 100 percent before I make that type of commitment. As of right now, we're not entertaining offers. I'm still trying to get (my back) right."

From the Knicks fans aspect, you don't want STAT participating in any unnecessary games that could further delay or re-injure his aching back. But with reports of Kobe, D-Rose, and others receiving an immense amount of cash for a few games abroad you really couldn't be to mad at the guy.

Amare Stoudemire is Rapping Now?

So while most Knicks fans are still nauseous from the roller-coaster season, Amare has found some "other" interests during the downtime. Besides vacationing with singer girlfriend Ciara(nobody is mad at that), he seems to have found a new love, rapping?

The power forward recently appeared on the remake to the team's theme song "Go New York Go," which also features producer Swizz Beatz and teammate Carmelo Anthony. The Daily News reported that Stoudemire hopes to link up with Swizz once again, as well as with producer Lil Jon and Fabolous. He may release music before the NBA season begins in the fall.

I swear I will bump his mixtape non-stop throughout the season if he can make "Winning" and "Knicks" rhyme.

Melo, Amare, and Chauncey Reflect on the Season and look ahead to the Future

How much, if any should the Big 2.5 have input in this off-season's roster moves? Seems like James Dolan may be inviting them into the "Big Boy Conversations" this summer.

Amare should play Friday, Billups Doubtful

Amare Stoudemire and Chauncey Billups both had MRI's today, STAT for his back spasms and Mr. Big Shot for is left knee.

"I should be ready. We'll see how it goes [Wednesday] and next day, but I'm pretty sure — I'm hoping — I'll be ready Friday."
"I couldn't hardly move. I was trying to play through it," Stoudemire said. "Once I felt that sharp pain, I couldn't take it."

Billups' test confirmed a strained tendon, which forced him to miss Game 2 after he was hurt on a drive to the basket near the end of the series opener. Billups is listed as doubtful for Game 3.

Amare has 16th Technical Rescinded

The Knicks almost had a case of the worst of both worlds when they fell to the Mavericks 127 to 109 and Amare received a very flaky 16th Technical.

via nydailynews.com

Stoudemire was confident that the call would be overturned. Referee Bennett Salvatore called a double technical on Stoudemire and Mavs center Brendan Haywood after the two big men jostled after a made basket. Moments later, Stoudemire explained to Salvatore that there was no malicious intent behind his actions and that he and Haywood are friends. The conversation ended with both players and the referee smiling. "We understood it was kind of a quick whistle," Stoudemire said late Thursday. "He knows me and Brendan weren't in an altercation."

Amare Makes The Cover of SLAM

Amare Stoudemire graces the cover of SLAM Magazine's 147th issue, its a two cover issue, him on one and Blake Griffin on the other.

Here's some from SLAM Online:

'The last time a Knick was on SLAM’s cover? SLAM #36, almost 12 years ago!) The longer you speak with Amar’e—which I did, about all of this stuff, after our shoot—the more you realize that as much as Stoudemire has done for the city and people of New York, the city and people of New York have done equally for him.'

Amare Has Another Tech Rescinded

Last Sunday's matinee with the Sixers Amare received another technical foul bringing his total to 14. Amare reached out to the league to appeal the questionable foul handed out from the very strict Bob Delany. Fortunately for STAT the league saw it his way and rescinded that technical bringing his total back down to 13. This was the second time Amare had a tech pulled back, on December 30th STAT blocked Quentin Richardson shot into the crowd and showed what the ref thought was too much emotion.


via NyPost.com

Last night at Knicks Bowl 12, a Garden of Dreams event at Chelsea Piers, Stoudemire -- speaking before the verdict had come down -- said he had "played a little phone tag" with NBA VP Stu Jackson and was planning on trying to connect with him last night. 
Stoudemire said the technicals aren't about to change the way he plays.

"I'm going to still play with emotion, to be honest," he said. "That's the way I always play. I practice that way. I play that way. . . . It brings the best out of me. I play better that way. I just have to make sure I keep a certain conscious effort to not try to get technical fouls."

A Respectable Trade We All Can Live With

By now I know you all have heard a rumor or two involving Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks but here is a trade scenario via bleacherreport.com that I really like for all parties involved.

It's a three team trade involving the Knicks,Bobcats and Nuggets.

Knicks get Carmelo Anthony

Ray Felton is having a career year and to keep it going strong after the All Star break Donnie Walsh should look to get him some help.A play making point guard who can backup Ray who will accept his role assisting the likes of Amar'e,Chandler and Melo.So how about Felton's ex teammate D.J. Augustine


Bobcats get Al Harrington,Aaron Afflalo and Bill Walker.

Al Harrington comes to ball every night,we as NYK fans saw his grind first hand last year and the Bobcats can use what he brings to the court. Afflalo is a player on the come up and would replace what they loose in Augustine.Bill Walker with added playing time will continue to improve,his three point range has improved within the last couple weeks alone.He would make that team really athletic all around with his dunking ability.

Nuggets get Stephen Jackson,Danilo Gallinari,Eddy Curry and Landry Fields

That's a package in my opinion the Nuggets should jump on without any hesitation.It would include a first round draft pick of course or Anthony Randolph.It allows the Nuggets to dump the salary of Al Harrington,gain youth in standout rookie Landry Fields and with Gallo and Action Jackson gives them help today for a playoff run.Not to mention Eddy Curry's contract

It isn't perfect and its allot of speculation but I'm sure this can be used as a framework to something we all can walk away happy about.

Knicks Injury Updates

In the midst of Williams vs Williams middleweight bout(Knicks vs Hawks) Marvin rolled onto Amare's right knee, twisting it awkwardly. The knee didn't keep him out of the game completely but it did raise some cause for concern during yesterdays practice.

Via NYPost.com

Coach D'Antoni addressed Amare's knee and status for tonight's game to the media:

"He said he felt he's better than he thought it would be," D'Antoni said. "He rattled it when he got hit. I would say he's probable."

"I'm optimistic," D'Antoni said. "I asked him if he can go [tonight], he said 'Yeah, I think so.' "

More Nike Kicks that Amare wont wear

Standing Tall And Talented - the Nike Air Max Fly By sports New York colors with Stoudemire's signature logo embellished on the upper strap. 

 

Nike continues to create Kicks for STAT that he wont wear, but these are actually my favorite pair thus far. Most Knicks faithfuls already know he rocks the Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer, even though I never really considered those BBall kicks...but I guess STAT knows better.

Check out his other Knicks sneakers HERE
