Amar'e Stoudemire is taking classes in contract negotiations and sports business, perhaps as a precursor to becoming an agent.

Stoudemire has long been represented by Happy Walters.

Stoudemire has played sparingly this season with the Miami Heat.

“I had a pretty strong 14-year career so far,’’ Stoudemire said. “Right now I’m taking it one day at a time, one season at a time. I don’t know how much time left I have as a player. I’m just cherishing the moment and try to develop the young guys.’’
