Amare Stoudemire Is Taking Piano Lessons. You Know, 'Strictly for the Ladies'

If you're like me and going through some serious NBA withdrawals right now, this clip should provide a little basketball methadone to take away some of those shakes. The first minute and a half or so we get to see Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash, Robin Lopez, and a couple of others going through some contested shot drills, then comes the good stuff: Amare discussing his offseason, which includes, (at about the 2:10 mark) piano lessons.



I'm not sure what I enjoyed more here: Amare thinking that piano lessons would be, um, instrumental in attracting the opposite sex ... because being an NBA superstar with millions in his bank account probably doesn't help that cause at all, right? Or the fact that he was running through those drills rocking a fairly sizeable gold chain around his neck. Both were fantastic, so here's hoping Amare provides some piano-related updates as this offseason drags on.
