Yes, I know there was another thread started on this topic but, before any lock is considered... as The Mayors Campaign Manager since his rookie season, I respectfully offer the following proclamation,
on this Saint Patrick's Day 2010
Whereas:
- Wilson Chandler has recovered quite well from a slow start that was the result of a Summer of inactivity due to injury, and had another season of incremental growth
- Wilson Chandler has shot a respectable 48 per cent from the field and averaged over 5 rebounds per game
- Wilson Chandler, has demonstrated the best practices of team play and positive attitude by starting 64 games and averaging 36 minutes per game.
- Mr Chandler has personified professionalism while playing despite injury for the majority of the season without a single negative word or excuse for an off night.
- Mr Chandler has also made s significant contribution on defense, highlighted by a game saving block (at the buzzer) against the most outstanding leaper in the NBA, the Atlanta Hawks, Josh Smith.
- and finally, as The Mayors Campaign Manager, I protest the lack of substance (and blatant mis-spelling) in the knicks1248 thread, as well as the deplorable character assassination that suggests The Mayor is injury-prone and NOT a warrior in the less flamboyant tradition of Charles Oakley, who did happen to own a purple suit with matching hat.
Let it be proclaimed that 17 March 2009 is officially Wilson Chandler Appreciation Day.
