Amar’e Stoudemire’s ‘farewell to New York’ poem best thing out of Knicks all year

Feb 17, 2015, 2:17 AM | Updated: 4:18 am

We give Amar’e Stoudemire three edgy finger-snaps while wearing black turtlenecks for the poem he wrote as a farewell to New York after he and the Knicks reached a buyout agreement.

Be sure to give it a read. But first, take a sip of your venti-soy-frappe-chai with foam and adjust your fedora. “Your” in for a real treat.


Jokes aside, it’s really heartfelt. Here it is in true couplet form:

NY NY what a beautiful city
A place where you can hang out with Anna, Jay Z & Diddy

Its a place absent of excuses and patience
If your smart, you can meet leaders of every nation

NY NY big city of dreams
Everything in NY isnt always what it seems

In the land where the jungle is concrete
The money flows Dow Jones and Wall Street

Home of #STATcity and the #Knickstape Orginator,
Shalom to all my fans, Salute to all my haters.

Peace and Love
Amar’e Carsares Stoudemire Sr.

This also answers the question of where Stoudemire will go next — probably to an open mic night somewhere in Los Angeles.
