Amare Stoudemire
“Amar’e Stoudemire is one of the most socially conscious and business savvy figures in sports today,” said Chris Russo, CEO of Big Lead Sports. We are very pleased to collaborate with Amar’e on creative digital programs that appeal to our audience of more than 17 million users.”
“I’m very pleased to be working with Big Lead Sports on this unique partnership. I see a lot of opportunity in fantasy sports and the digital media services Fantasy Sports Ventures provides. I am looking forward to adding value to all of the platforms especially the free educational initiatives that are being developed for kids,” Stoudemire said. “Although I am a novice in fantasy sports and I may not be named Commissioner of my fantasy league this season, I do see the huge growth potential of fantasy basketball.”
Stoudemire will become a regular contributor to BigLeadSports.com and other BLS web sites such as Hoopshype and HOOPSWORLD providing features to fans on professional sports and lifestyle endeavors. He will also work with BLS to create an educational curriculum for young people based on math and fantasy basketball. Finally, the nine year NBA veteran will also partner with BLS on an online fantasy basketball platform.
