Marc Berman's post on New York Knicks | Latest updates on Sulia

Amar'e Stoudemire spoke on Olajuwon and his back today. Give Stoudemire credit. For the first time, he didn't give

us the old spiel he'll never get hurt again. Woodson said he played with Olajuwon and knew Stoudemire's game needed a new post element at this stage. Stoudemire said, "I’ve never been in position where I had to develop my post game. When Coach Woodson asked me to develop my post game, the first phone call was to the best post man of all time (Hakeem Olajuwon). I learned so much from him in terms of moves. Stoudemire has a new tact, not to be cocky about his bulging disk, which doesn't go away unless surgery is done. "One thing about health, it’s hard to predict,'' Amar'e said. "But I feel great. My body feels good and strong. I feel good.’’
