lee doesn't even get single teamed. He's generally left wide open.

Curry is double and triple covered (sometimes without the ball).

But hey, I'm sure there will be a few posters that will try to rig it.

But let's not get silly. Right now, it's curry (oops, already said that, sorry)

eddy curry by far. A double double is one thing, but saying lee is the knicks best player is like saying charles oakley was the knicks best player during the ewing years.

He would have been if we didn't have Ewing! (and no, Eddy Curry is no Ewing; don't even go there!)

nice try, but trust me, I'm not going there, but lee is no Oakley, so don't even go there.

Curry is to Lee as Ewing is to Oakley. How's that?
Or you saying Lee is Ewing to Curry's Oakley?

What situation would put the knicks at a bigger disadvantage, Lee going down with an injury or Curry?

Unfortunately for you, neither marbury or Curry were suspended by the brawl, so they had just as much to do with those wins as lee.

btw...I FUKCING LOVE LEE!!! But curry is better.

shooting percentage. focus of other teams defense.

to me, that makes you the best player.

The other team generally double teams your BEST PLAYER.

e.g. we double teamed ray allen.

I think that alone answers your question bonny.

But let's just keep riding the lee popularity train to 12,000 posts.

Who is the better player to have on the floor in the clutch? In that sense I would say that they are equally important. Lee's offensively rebounding is outstanding. Curry has been huge late in games when we've needed him. The games that are lost are lost in the 1st quarter for other reasons

Eddy Curry is this teams best scorer but best player? I don't think so. Myself, I chose Lee since I feel he does the most things well on this team.

Outside of rebounding..What else does Lee do well??

Passing, hustle, keeping balls alive, boxing out. I'd say the only thing he doesn't do well is score. I'd say Lee is average to above average at every category, aside from rebounding, where he's excellent.

Marbury is better at scoring, defense,passing,court awareness,hustle and overall better player...

More is also ask of Marbury...

the knicks most important player right now is eddy.

but the knicks best player is still marbury.

Just a matter of how you define best.

Curry is putting up all star numbers over a long period of time.

I love lee, but he's an awesome role player (rebounds, put backs, HUSTLE).

But you're talking about the best player, and if you get over hating isiah and curry and unprotected draft picks, it'll jump out at you.

Eddy Curry is currently the best knicks player.

your right... that is silly. Ewing was a top 50 NBA player of all time, and he played both ends of the court. Did you know that the game is played on both ends? This isnt football where you only play to one goal.

you guys arent watching when you talk about how great Eddy is. The numbers dont lie.


Ewing? Even RVHoss isnt dumb enough to compare Eddy to Ewing.

Ewing anchored the Knick defense FIRST. He was the hoya destroya. He averaged 3-4 blocks a game. He was also one of the best rebounders (especially defensive) rebounders in the game. You didnt get 2nd chances with Ewing in the game. With Eddy in the game you get dunks on offensive rebounds.

So how do you define best player? Is it potential? production?

Right now Lee is the most productive player, because when he's in the line up the Knicks outscore their opponents.

That doesnt happen with Eddy on the floor. Sorry this truth is so disturbing
