Is Amare Stoudemire Jewish?

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 07:18 PM PDT

Is Amare Stoudemire Jewish? That’s the question many of his Twitter followers have been asking in recent weeks. I haven’t been able to find any confirmation that Stoudemire is indeed Jewish, but there certainly are some clues.

Two weeks ago, Stoudemire said this on Twitter:

For whatever is born of (Yah) GOD overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world– our faith. 1 John 5:4 Shalom

Last week, Stoudemire said this:

Boker Tov !! People. Have a great day. I’m done with a weight lift, next stop Basketball Court. All ways working. Shalom.

Finally, here’s the ultimate clew that Amare Stoudemire is Jewish:

Yes Indeed !! RT @Shims11: @Amareisreal Whats up w the hebrew? Are you jewish?

Earlier this offseason, Amare Stoudemire left the Phoenix Suns to sign a $100 million deal with the New York Knicks. The state of New York has a Jewish population of nearly 10%. In New York City alone, there are over two million Jews. With Amare Stoudemire, it appears there is one more Jewish person in NYC.

Yao Ming Thinking About Retirement

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 05:38 PM PDT

When healthy, Yao Ming is one of the best centers in the NBA. Unfortunately, good health has been difficult to come by for the 7-foot-6 center from Shanghai, China. He missed the entire 2009-10 season for the Houston Rockets and failed to play more than 55 games in two of the previous three campaigns.

Recovering from a serious foot surgery, Yao is expected to play this upcoming season. However, if he has a setback, Yao recently told the Chinese media that he would consider retirement from the game of basketball.

“If the foot injury does not heal next season,” said Yao, “I might choose to call it quits.”

Yao also caused a stir in his home country when he said that his participation in the 2012 London Olympics is doubtful. According to reports, Yao is frustrated and believes that China hasn’t had his health in mind when he played in international tournaments throughout the years.

Rockets GM Daryl Morey thinks Yao is on the right track.

Said Morey: “Yao Ming is working diligently on his return and has consistently received positive feedback at each of his scheduled medical checkups.”

Diego Maradona Out as Coach of Argentina

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 04:48 PM PDT

In 2008, the Argentine Football Association shocked the world when they hired the legendary Diego Maradona to coach the nation’s soccer team. Less than two years later, that experiment is over. The AFA decided not to renew Maradona’s contract after Maradona refused to replace a number of assistant coaches.

At the 2010 World Cup, Argentina definitely had moments of greatness. Although they lacked technical strategy, their beautiful style of play made the team fan favorites in South Africa. However, Argentina saw the World Cup end in stunning fashion when Germany destroyed the South American squad by a final count of 4-0.

Maradona is regarded by many as the best soccer player who ever lived. His play is the 1986 World Cup will never be forgotten, as he carried Argentina to a championship.

Even though he’s no longer Argentina’s coach, the AFA said that he will always be invited to stay involved.

“This marks the end of a first chapter with Mr. Maradona. The doors to this house, as always, will be open to him,” said Cherquis Bialo, a spokesman for the AFA.

Garza Throws No-Hitter for Rays

Posted: 26 Jul 2010 08:59 PM PDT

Matt Garza threw a no-hitter on Monday night, beating the Detroit Tigers 5-0. But it was more than a personal milestone – it was the first no-hitter in Tampa Bay Rays franchise history. It was also the fifth one in major league baseball this season.

The Rays’ pitching staff was due for a no-hitter – the team has been held hitless themselves three times in just the past year. Two of those three games since July 2009 were perfect games.

“We needed one. I don’t care who it came from. We just needed one for our own confidence,” Garza told the media. “The guys are just as excited as I am. It’s fun.”

Garza improved his record to 11-5 on the season, after having a very poor outing last time out. The 11 wins ties a career-best for victories for the 26-year-old right-hander.
