Report: Amar’e Stoudemire Agrees to Join Steve Nash's Staff as Nets Assistant Coach

One of the NBA's iconic guard-big man duos is reportedly reuniting—this time on the sidelines.

Six-time All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire has agreed to a deal to join the Nets and head coach Steve Nash as an assistant coach, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported.

Stoudemire played with Nash on the Phoenix Suns from 2004-10, a stretch that saw Nash win league MVP back-to-back in 2005 and 2006 and Stoudemire receive five All-Star nods.

The duo never made it to the NBA Finals, though they came close in 2005 and 2010.

Nash was hired earlier this month as the Nets's new coach, his first NBA head coaching job.
