Stoudemire and Nash were teammates with the Phoenix Suns during their playing days. No stranger to New York City, Stoudemire played five of his 14 seasons in the NBA with the New York Knicks.
Stoudemire last played in the NBA in 2015 and his move to coaching puts an end to comeback talks that surfaced last year.
“I still have a lot of game left,” Stoudemire said in an interview with MSG Network in July, 2019.. “I still have a lot of health. And I can help a team in any way they need.”
