      I’m always playing chess on the basketball court

      Interview, NBA, NY Knicks


      Serby’s Sunday Q & A with… Amar’e Stoudemire

      The Post’s Steve Serby sat down on Thursday afternoon with the 6-foot-10, 27-year-old power forward after he officially became a Knick on a five-year, $99 million sign-and-trade deal.

      Q: Your definition of swagger?

      A: Swagger is something that you are born with. Some folks can practice it. But on the basketball court, it’s really more so knowing that you’re good. When you know you’re a good player, your swag comes out and it takes you to a different level.

      Q: You’ve always had it?

      A: I have always had it. I was blessed to be a good basketball player at a young age, and the swag just kept growing from there.

      Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, where is your swag at now?

      A: My swag is probably at 9.8 (laughs). Hopefully the city of New York will get my swag up to a 10.

      Q: So the best is yet to come?

      A: Absolutely the best is yet to come.

      Q: Describe your on-court temperament.

      A: I’m always playing chess on the basketball court.

      Here is the full article.
