New York Knicks star Amar’e Stoudemire is featured in the October 2011 issue of Gotham Magazine.
In the issue Amar’e is interview by Matthew Modine. Here’s some highlights from their interview:
MM: What was it like for you to go from playing high school basketball to the NBA?
AS: “Going from high school to the NBA is something that’s not an easy challenge. Again, you have to be totally prepared to make that step. The NBA is definitely a totally different game from high school, so you have to be extremely advanced in order to make that jump.”
MM: What’s harder for you—game day or a day off?
AS: ”Days off are definitely cool; you need those to heal. When you get those days off, you have to fully take advantage of them.”
MM: Do you have any tips for staying in shape?
AS: ”You just have to eat right and exercise. Those are the two main things. At least try to. It’s hard when you’re so accustomed to eating a certain way, but at least try to change slowly, and make sure you exercise.”
MM: You have great style. I like that lady you’re collaborating with on a clothing line, Rachel Roy. She seems cool.
AS: “Yeah, she’s pretty cool. She’s good at what she does. Anyone who has passion in what they do, you get the best out of them.”
