Amar’e Stoudemire is unlikely to join Kobe Bryant’s barnstorming tour of China, a source in Stoudemire’s inner circle told SNY.tv.
“I doubt it happens,” the source said. “Much too complicated. We will see if it’s real and make sense. Hopefully, the owners and players’ association will come to an agreement sooner than later.”
A published report indicated the Knicks All-Star power forward would “consider” joining Bryant if the NBA lockout extends into the regular season.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Bryant is considering bringing a team of NBA players on a paid tour of China.
