Amare Stoudemire offers solid shock value in Israel

I’ve got a confession to make: I live in a town that probably has the highest concentration of Jews this side of Israel. It takes about ten minutes to drive across my entire town, yet we have four separate temples. I’ve been to countless Bar-Mitzvahs and I even know what Mazel Tov means. So I thought it was impossible for me to be surprised by someone wearing a yarmulke. That is, until I saw a black, 6’10″ slam dunk machine wear one and talk about how he will soon observe Passover and Shabbat and then later started speaking Hebrew. That’s just not something you see every day.

      I am with you. Amare seems like a very curious and intellectually-driven individual. More power to him.
