Description

Young Amar'e Stoudemire is back in the all-star basketball adventure--STAT: Standing Tall and Talented!

Eleven-year-old Amar'e Stoudemire is getting a lot of attention for all of the streetball tournaments he's been dominating lately. So much so that the coach of his school's team wants him to join early, even though he's a year too young. Amar'e is up for the challenge but some of his new teammates don't think he deserves to be there yet. Plus, the game is a lot different indoors with real refs making actual calls. Through hard work and practice, Amar'e will prove that he deserves his spot, no matter how old he is.Based on the life of All-Star NBA sensation Amar'e Stoudemire, who overcame many obstacles to become one of the most popular figures in sports today.
