New York Knicks Amar’e Stoudemire and wife, Alexis Stoudemire’s dedicated a basketball court in his hometown of Lake Wales, FL on February 10. The Amar’e and Alexis Stoudemire Foundation refurbished the basketball court that the six-time All Star grew up playing on and invited 500 children and their families to open the court with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The day was a success and fun for all of the kids who played in bounce houses and enjoyed a basketball showcase.
