Amar’e Stoudemire up until his first year in New York was a joy to watch. High-flying and explosive. But since that first year with the Knicks, a series of back and knee issues have relegated him to a shell of his former self.
But don’t tell that to him. According to Amar’e he feels like he’s 19 years old again. We’ll have to wait and see.
“My joy is there. My love of the game is there,” said Stoudemire, 32 next month. “I feel like I’m 19 again as far as how much I love to play the game of basketball. I feel youthful. To have that type of feeling again as I had my rookie year, to want to play and just want to be out there and get better as a player is pretty encouraging.”
