Who is amare stoudemire brother

SadDay Great job tonight team Knicks. Jermeny Lin that's how we play. Ya boy SunTzu. Like I said, this is just a trying moment for him. D'Antoni has communicated with Stoudemire through text messages but has yet to speak with the star power forward. Amare Stoudemire is a former Mr.

Basketball in Florida and went straight to the NBA out of high school. He grew up in the Lake Wales area, which is in central Florida. Skip to main content Skip to navigation. Brother of Knicks' Stoudemire dies in car crash. The New York Knicks big man wasn't involved in the accident, but no one would blame him if he's distracted in the coming days.

The older Stoudemire's death was first reported by the gossip website TMZ. There aren't a lot of details available as of Monday morning, but the report indicates that the crash was due to Stoudemire driving at a high rate of speed. The accident happened on Route 27 in Lake Wales. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Stoudemire was driving at a "high rate of speed" when he collided with the rear of a tractor trailer. The Florida Highway Patrol says year old Stoudemire was not wearing a seat belt when he smashed into the big rig Although still a threat offensively, Stoudemire has lost a step in his repertoire, and he has lost the explosion that made him the best pick-and-roll player in the game.

Every player on the Knicks is feeling pressure. From Carmelo Anthony to Mike Bibby, the entire roster wants to get back on track, something they have been able to do since Mike D'Antoni resigned as head coach. Woodson has shown tenacity on the sideline, displaying discipline and leadership that D'Antoni seemed to lack on the sideline. Last night, for example, he gave JR Smith an earful for an alley-oop play when winning big at the end of the game.

The last two games has shown the Knicks showboat at the end of big wins, something the eight-seed has no right doing.

Thankfully for New York, Woodson will not put up with it. The win over Portland was expected, but last night's victory over the fifth-seed Indiana was impressive. Woodson has shown little hesitation to keep the hot hand on the floor, even if it is a player off the bench. With the depth of the team shining, Amar'e Stoudemire needs to take a deep breath and compose himself.

With the pressure on everyone involved with the franchise, Amar'e has the added burden of the loss of his brother. When Stoudemire took time off from the team to attend funeral services, this was just the beginning of the healing process. With Jeremy Lin making the forward smile during his time of grief, Stoudemire returned to a better team than the one he left.

After Lin-sanity ended, the reality of Amar'e's loss certainly was magnified.
