After a successful season with Hapoel Jerusalem — one in which the team won the League and Cup title — six-time NBA All-Star Amar'e Stoudemire seems to be interested in playing in the Spanish ACB League, according to a report from EuroHoops.net.

In a recent interview with Sal Emergui of Marca, Stoudemire noted several reasons for his interest in the Spanish League, including the atmosphere created by its fans, as well as the league's competitive nature.

On possibly playing in the ACB:

“I would love to play in the Spanish League because it’s very competitive,” Stoudemire said. “It’s possible if a team is interested. In Spain, there are many young people who want to play in the NBA. And the atmosphere is incredible. I played with Hapoel Jerusalem in the EuroCup semifinals in Valencia and the fans were incredible. Then I said I wish I could play there someday. I thank the Spanish fans who have followed my career.”

On European basketball:

“The fans in Europe encourage the team, they are very loud all of the time,” Stoudemire continued. “In the NBA, this is dependent on certain moments of the game, as for example the end of the game. In Israel, they shout and cheer during the whole match. In Europe, there’s more passion. At a professional level, it’s not easy to play as a foreign player in Europe because of the rules. You have to know how to adapt.”

Stoudemire played in 19 games for Hopoel during their 2016-17 campaign, racking up averages of 12.8 points on 62.0 percent shooting from the field, 6.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. The 35-year-old says he enjoyed playing in Israel.

“It really was a different experience for me, but also an incredible one,” Stoudemire said of playing with Hopoel. “I was lucky to play in the EuroCup, visit wonderful countries and cities and, of course, it was a pleasure playing in Israel. I had a great time.”

Whether or not Stoudemire will make his way to the Spanish League remains to be seen. It certainly sounds like he's interested, though. Be sure to keep your browsers locked on ClutchPoints for more updates on this topic as they become available.
