Amar’e Stoudemire Honors His Late Brother By Getting A “Teardrop” Tattoo

by Tom Lorenzo | 8:29 pm, February 14th, 2012

The buzz around Amar’e Stoudemire’s return to the lineup for the Knicks has much to do with just how he might gel with the team’s newest sensation Jeremy Lin, as well as some concern as to whether or not he’s recovered from the death of his older brother Hazell, who last week lost his life in a car accident.

With his brother still clearly on his mind, Stoudemire returned to action tonight sporting a brand new “teardrop” tattoo just under his right eye. Of course the significance of the tattoo is a showing of his deep sorrow for the man who he referred to as his “Guardian Angel.”

Here’s another shot of his new tattoo from tonight’s game in Toronto, courtesy of CJ Fogler:

Ethan Strauss Paul George. I prefer watching Curry, but, ankles. RT @NBAdoug which young player do you want going forward, Paul Goerge or Steph Curry

Ethan Strauss Lotta this Vogel blame is just Paul George love. Which is fine, I love PG enough to wish blame on others, too.
