Amar’e Stoudemire K.Os Opponent At Israeli Basketball League

After 14 seasons in the NBA, 6-time NBA All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire took his talents abroad to the Israeli Basketball League. Amar’e now plays for Hapoel Jerusalem, and it is huge for the fans to have such a basketball legend on their team. Every opponent wants to play against Amar’e, their chance to play against an all-time great power forward, and they play him hard.

During Hapoel’s most recent game, Amar’e Stoudemire completely leveled his opposing player. He ran into the player like a freight train, knocking him to the ground.

According to reddit users, Amar’e raised a hand to the crowd meaning like:

“My bad, I just leveled this douche to the ground but I don’t want to hurt the team.”

People gave him a standing ovation and started to chant his name, which led to conversations between fans, if it was ok to praise violence.
