not the best, your personal favorite.

mine is dwade. dude totally won my heart during the finals. most jordan-like performance outside of jordan himself. and especially since it came against my most hated team and my most hated "superstar" in the league. muahahahahaha!!!

and btw do NOT give me any BS about calls in that series. there were at most 2 questionable calls. and you show me any series where a star doesn’t get the benefit of a couple of questionable calls.

and how unbelievable has he been this year? #1 in scoring and #9 in assists!

it's weird but i don't really have a favorite... i can't actively root for guys on other teams for some reason... i guess since D Lee is my favorite player on the Knicks he comes the closest.

Same here. I enjoy watching other players but I cannot say they are my favorite. I would have to say DLee and The Mayor a close 2nd.

I flip flop between Nate and Lee on the Knicks. Back to Lee now that Nate is stinking it up.

NBA? Dwight Howard. Kid is a straight up beast and loves the game and has fun. Can't beat 'em.

I tend to watch the guys I think'll be stars in the league. Chris Paul and Deron Williams *used* to be the favorites. Now, it's Kevin Durant and Al Horford. I think Durant is a natural wing and doesn't need to become a PF like some do for success... however, when he learns to back down the tiny guys like Mark Jackson used to, he'll be one of the best in the league, maybe ever. Horford, I don't think will ever be that good, but he's a throwback. his stats are down this year, but eventually he'll land in the All Star game five or six times.

Yeah, weird, but I'm with you - can't really pinpoint one specific player. I just love young talented players in general (I probably love college hoops more than the pro game when you get right down to it). Maybe not one specific player, but the thing that comes the closest for me when you say 'favorite' besides anything Knicks is probably the Portland Trailblazers - that entire team. I LOVE how that thing was put together. People are saying Kevin Pritchard this and that....whatever bro, that guy's a genius. If I still had the NBA package (Verizon Fios doesn't offer it - BOO!!!) I'd be watching every Blazer game.

I am not old enough to watch Dave Debusherre play but Tripucka likened DLee to a 2000 Version of DaveB.

I think it's safe to say he's the best point guard in the NBA.

I don't have an actual favorite non-Knick but I do enjoy Ray Allen (art of the midrange J), Kobe (now that he's grown up finally), Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan (yes, he's a robot - but he makes the game look easy) and others.

Lee's game is not there yet. Debusschere was known for tenacious D and a reliable jumper.

Dwight Howard is my fav.

John Gianelli would make Dwight Howard a sissy boy if they played against each other.

If DLee played a little more defense the comparisions to Dave DBush would be astounding.Blue collar lunch pail worker.
