Amar’e Stoudemire isn’t finished playing basketball. The six-time NBA All-Star is returning to the court as a captain of a team in the Big3 League, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley.
Two other former NBA players will flank Stoudemire, per Begley:
“Stoudemire will serve as a captain of the Tri-State team, alongside Jermaine O’Neal and Nate Robinson, per a source. An official announcement is expected later Wednesday.”
Stoudemire spent 14 seasons in the NBA before retiring after the 2016 season. He played for Hapoel Jerusalem the following year, helping the Israeli club win its championship while earning All-Star status in the league.
During the inaugural year of the Big3 League, the Tri-State team led by O’Neal finished with a 3-5 record. Robinson joined the roster in January, and Stoudemire provides another big-name boost.
