Amar'e Stoudemire retires from NBA after signing 1-day contract with Knicks - chairman - 07-27-2016
Amar'e Stoudemire's greatest NBA success was in Phoenix, where as Steve Nash's pick-and-roll partner he was one of the NBA's most fearsome finishers.
But he chose to leave the league as a member of the Knicks, the franchise that was mired in a lengthy playoff drought before he signed in 2010 and revitalized the franchise.
Stoudemire retired Tuesday after signing a contract with the Knicks with much less fanfare than the $100 million deal he inked six years ago to halt the team's downward spiral.
"Although my career has taken me to other places around the country, my heart had always remained in the Big Apple," he said in a statement. "Once a Knick, Always a Knick."
