At least he won't be expected to play defense in that game.

You post as if every single player going to the All Star Game plays suffocating defense.

Congrats, Lee.

maybe lee can pick up some defensive pointers from Steve "the Glove" Nash.

i'm happy for lee.

Kobe and Lebron are excellent defenders. I think they got voted in because of that.

now that's just madness...

The dude has come such a long way in his professional development, and you're bitching and moaning about him not playing defense in a D'antoni system ? Last season he was getting nailed by fans because he couldn't hit that mid range shot, and now that he's got it you've moved to his lack of defense. Maybe D'antoni and the coaching staff decided that for Lee to be an all star, he would have to perfect that shot. Well, he's done it, and as a fan of the Knicks I can say I'm proud of his accomplishments.

We haven't had an all star since 2001. Almost a decade, wake up and smell the effing coffee. And now that we have one, you point out this bull**** ? This is sad.

i'm proud of the fact that Lee made himself into an Allstar... i'm happy that Lee has transformed himself into 1 of the better PF's in the game offensively... that said, it still pisses me off when i see him lay out the red carpet for guys to come into the paint & get an easy 2... & it happens a lot.

I was going to make a comment but I can see what you are talking about. Bosh glides on the court on some possessions.

Boshs defense is probably worse than Lees. Everytime I see him, I don't see him on the defense which says a lot. He's LONG and more athletic than Lee.

When you look at him you expect to see a lot more out of him on the defensive end. He is strong in the post, and his length makes you think he would be a great help defender, but his lateral movement is so-so, and it is reflected in the relatively small number of blocks he has.

Good to see Lee get some recognition.

He naps on court. I don't think he is properly motivated up there to be honest. I think he heads to South Beach and pair him with Wade, you will see more out of him. He was more motivated trying to make the playoffs those two years and trying to advance. The thing that bothers me about Bosh and Lee is that they have the physical tools to be much better defenders. You don't go up as high as Lee does when he dunks and move around the basket without being able to do the same thing on defense.

i agree that he's only an average at best defender but down the stretch of games, the guy comes up big on both ends...that includes blocks, steals and rebounds.

What kinda bud u got? I need an eighth.
