Hustling hard in the NBA will get you places. Like former NBA players Jalen Rose says, there are two types of players in the NBA. Those with skill and those with will.
While no one will be mistaking Lou Amundson for Anthony Davis anytime soon, the will he has on the court and how hard he plays can not be denied. It also helps to have a returning veteran on a team that will have some new faces coming into next season.
The New York Knicks formally announced today that Amundson would return to the team.
New York Knickerbockers President Phil Jackson announced today that the team has re-signed forward Lou Amundson to a contract.
Amundson’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, told ESPN the details of his clients deal.
The New York Knicks and veteran big man Lou Amundson have agreed to a one-year, $1.65 million deal, Amundson’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, said Saturday.
The 32-year-old journeyman forward averaged 4.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 41 games for the Knicks last season. Knicks Coach Derek Fisher has praised Amundson’s demeanor and professional approach in the past concerning New York’s franchise-worst 17-win season in 2014-15.
Lou will most likely be a deep reserve big man on the Knicks but it’s nice to hear a guy who works hard and loves the game of basketball will be staying in one spot, making money doing what he loves.
