Hapoel Jerusalem’s Amar’e Stoudemire opens up to sportsrabbi.com about his wish to play for one more season, though he is not certain in which team that will be.

Stoudemire made a post on his Instagram addressing the Hapoel Jerusalem fans that this may be his last home game for the club which raised many questions in Israel. Stoudemire explains to the Israeli media: “It is what it is. Whatever I posted that’s what I was thinking. I was just reflecting on the great times I’ve had here in Jerusalem and I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get a deal done with this team. But I’ll be playing for sure next year.” Would Amare like to potentially play in the Euroleague? “It’s always about competing at a high level. There’s always minicamps in the NBA and there’s always Euroleague teams, there’s always high level basketball and to challenge myself to play at a high level is always the goal.”

Stoudemire also spoke about his focus that’s on the Final Four and the championship, “We’ll see how it goes. Obviously right now we are focused on winning the championship so I can’t look too far in advance right now we got out shift our focus back to the final four. But I think now the focus is to really get through the next round and get to the championship game. We got to refocus on that.”

He also explained how he feels physically and mentally: “I feel great and I’m at a high level right now playing basketball and the game is so easy out there for me. Train and really keep myself in great shape. Playing one game a week is like eating cereal for breakfast man. It’s an easy deal for me. For the team we’re playing well we still have room to improve but right now we’re doing a good job.”
