Who is Amar’e Stoudemire’s daughter Assata Stoudemire? All you need to know

Assata Stoudemire is in the headlines along with her father, former NBA superstar Amar’e Stoudemire. The father reportedly struck his daughter after finding out that she was “disrespectful and a liar” to her grandmother.

Stoudemire, who previously made a name for himself with the Phoenix Suns, is reportedly in hot water for “punching his daughter in the jaw.”

The six-time NBA All-Star vehemently denied the allegations. He posted a cracking post on Instagram after rumors about him and his daughter emerged:

“Over the last 24 hours, an incident at my family home led to my being charged with assaulting my daughter. It is an allegation based on a report that does not square with facts. I am of Jewish faith, today Jewish people all over the world celebrate Hanukkah and hear the story of how we fought wickedness.

"I believe that whatever is “hateful to you, do not do to others.” As the investigation unfolds, the facts will show the allegations to be groundless as my daughter’s medical condition is not the result of being assaulted by a father who is nearly 7 feet tall and weighs 250 pounds.

"I could never see myself assaulting any person, especially my children. I respect, protect, and love my family, particularly my children. As a father, I ask for your grace as we secure our space and privacy."
