Amar’e Stoudemire’s post-NBA basketball career appears over after a single season. Unless he changes his mind, it appears the former Phoenix Suns All-Star is retiring for good.
Stoudemire announced with an Instagram post that he was retiring after he spent the 2016-17 season with Hapoel Jerusalem in Israel and led the team to a Israeli Premier League title.
“I would like to thank Hapoel Jerusalem president, Ori Allon, and the entire Hapoel Jerusalem organization for giving me the opportunity to retire as a champion and doing it in the holiest of cities made even more special,” Stoudemire wrote.
