Amare Stoudemire’s greatest NBA success was in Phoenix, where as Steve Nash’s pick-and-roll partner he was one of the NBA’s most fearsome finishers. Stoudemire retired Tuesday after signing a contract with the Knicks with much less fanfare than the $ 100 million deal he inked six years ago to halt the team’s downward spiral. Stoudemire was a six-time All-Star, but battled knee injuries after his sensational first season in New York, when he became the first Knicks player to be voted an All-Star starter since Patrick Ewing in 1997.
