26, Stoudemire signed a two-year contract Monday to play for Israeli team Hapoel
Jerusalem.Stoudemire said the decision was very emotional for him and his
family. The six-time NBA All-Star has visited Jerusalem on multiple occasions,
but said getting the opportunity to play in Jerusalem will be a spiritual
journey.Shortly after signing a five-year, $100 million contract with the New
York Knicks in the summer of 2010, Stoudemire traveled to Israel to explore what
he believed might be Hebrew roots through his mother, Carrie. Stoudemire has a
Star of David tattoo and knows multiple Hebrew phrases.My interests in playing
in Israel, at this moment that dream has come true, Stoudemire said. Im now able
to play for Hapoel Jerusalem. A team that Im looking forward to playing
with.With the Israeli and American flag both present at Stoudemires news
conference at Madison Square Garden, he signed his contract, put on his new team
hat and showed off his new Hapoel Jerusalem jersey.Its like a dream come true,
Stoudemire said. When I was in high school I always wanted to put on my college
hat to show what school I was going to and never did it. I put on an NBA
hat.Stoudemire and his wife, Alexis, will travel to Jerusalem next week to look
at schools for his four children. After returning to their Florida home for a
week, the family will make the move to Jerusalem in late August for training
camp -- the same time when school will start back up as well.My wife and I
always talked about living abroad and experiencing different cultures, and what
better culture to experience for us than living in Jerusalem? Stoudemire
said.This isnt Stoudemires first interaction with Hapoel Jerusalem. The
6-foot-10 forward was part of an ownership group that purchased the team in
2013. As part of his new contract with Hapoel Jerusalem, he will sell his shares
to majority owner Ori Allon.Jerusalem is a very special city as you guys know
and Amare is a very special person, other than the fact that he is a very good
basketball player, Allon said. Im very excited about this and the whole city of
Jerusalem is celebrating right now.Stoudemire has high hopes for his career in
Israel.Just go on YouTube and look up the top 100 plays for Amare Stoudemire,
Stoudemire said. Thats what they (the fans) are going to get.Hapoel Jerusalem
won the 2014-15 Israeli Basketball League title and will compete in the 2016-17
EuroCup tournament.At 33 years old, injuries in his knees had been a lingering
issue, but Stoudemire said he felt great in his last NBA season with the Miami
Heat, and wanted to retire from the NBA on a healthy note.I look at this not
even as a retirement, Stoudemire said. I look at it as graduation because the
NBA is a fraternity. Its like a school.Stoudemire is a 14-year NBA veteran who
was the No. 9 pick in the 2002 draft by the Suns and averaged 21.4 points. He
had just led the Suns to the 2010 Western Conference finals before joining his
former coach, Mike DAntoni, in New York.

Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match
that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely
a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. The 2016
wild-card races have been ones for the ages, with as many as four teams in
contention in the American League entering the final weekend. As is typical,
there has been quite a bit of turnover in the identities of playoff clubs from
2015 to 2016, and theres no reason to believe that wont again be the case in
2017. Though we have absolutely zero idea what any of the 30 MLB rosters will
look like next Opening Day, lets take a swing at projecting four 2017 playoff
qualifiers that didnt make the cut this time around.New York YankeesPlaying this
projection game seems a bit easier in the AL. You might not remember considering
their stay was so short, but the Yanks were actually 2015 playoff participants.
The 2017 version of the Bronx Bombers are unlikely to resemble that group to any
significant degree.The Yankees set the stage for a near-term resurgence witth a
mid-2016 makeover featuring the retirement of Alex Rodriguez and the trades of
bullpen anchors Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller, enabling their farm system to
make the leap from really good to best in the game.ddddddddddddEach year, I
prepare minor league position player and starting pitcher prospect lists, based
on performance and age relative to league and level. I take the resulting
individual players rankings with a grain or two of salt; the rankings serve as
more of a follow list, from which more traditional scouting methods follow. They
do, however, give you a pretty good idea of the depth of the 30 systems -- and
the Yankees check in with the most position player and pitching value in the
game, according to my method. ' ' '
