Knicks haven’t looked too great during preseason, but Amar’e Stoudemire believes his injury issues are behind him.
“My joy is there. My love of the game is there. I feel like I’m 19 again as far as how much I love to play the game of basketball,” Stoudemire said before the game. “I feel youthful. To have that type of feeling again as I had my rookie year, to want to play and just want to be out there and get better as a player is pretty encouraging.
“So far it’s been great. I’ve been able to play every single preseason game so far, even the back-to-backs we had earlier, and my recovery day, which you guys have now entered into my secret to recovery. But it’s been working out well for me so far.”
Maybe those red wine baths really work, we will see how long the new Amar’e lasts.
