At a product launch for The Art of Shaving in New York City, Amar’e Stoudemire laughed inside a glowing cage that had been built into a mini basketball court. There the New York Knicks forward schooled a marketing executive on the science of pivoting. It was fitting, not just because a new razor, the Lexington Collection Flexball, features a pivoting technology geared to make for a smoother shave, but because Stoudemire has become somewhat of an expert at pivoting lately.

There’s a lot pivoting that needs to be done when media hurls questions about Phil Jackson and Steve Kerr, the new Golden State Warriors coach that many thought would be the next coach for the New York Knicks. He also learned a ton about pivoting from Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon, and revamped his game to become a more forceful post presence.

I’ve thought about really going into personal training when I’m done playing.”

The six-time NBA All-Star said that nutrition is the key to his fitness and recovery. He’s tried kosher diets and vegan diets and, together with his personal chef Max Hardy, launched a cookbook called Cooking with Amar’e: 100 Easy Recipes for Pros and Rookies in the Kitchen earlier this year.
