Amare Stoudemire’s Children’s Book Review
New York Knicks’ star Amare Stoudemire is trading rebounds for reading with the release of his children’s book STAT Standing Tall and Talented: Home Court. Home Court, the first book in the series, is based partly on his childhood story.
Amare Stoudemire wrote a children's book called STAT Standing Tall & Talented Home Court.
“I figured with the platform of me being in the NBA and being able to really inspire youth, I felt like it was a great opportunity for me to really write some of my childhood stories and get them to understand standing tall and talented is definitely something that they should take heed to and succeed in life,” Stoudemire said.

Stoudemire dedicated the book to his brother Hazell who died in a car accident in February.
“My brother was one of the main reasons for my success,” Stoudemire said. “He played high school basketball and inspired me to play basketball and so his story was intriguing to me. That prepared me to become who I am today so I wanted to dedicate that book, the first book of this series, to him.”
