He even agreed that the Knicks shouldn't make that deal after his experience playing streetball with Lee at 115th and Lenox last summer. "If some crazy scenario happened where I was with the Knicks, I would want David Lee there," Artest said. "I love David Lee. I played with him in the 'hood last summer, and he showed so much heart. They were trying to rough up David Lee, but David Lee got rough right back. And this was the projects, you know? And I respected that. "I wouldn't trade myself for David Lee at all. I love his game. I love how he rebounds. To come off the bench and average close to 10 rebounds, you can't trade a guy like that. You don't trade a guy like David Lee, and Isiah made a great call. I would have done the same thing."</div> Source: Newsday Let me find out David Lee was playing ball in QB.
David Lee is hood. He gets so much respect in the hood now I bet. I think Lee is a great future peice for the Knicks, and will become a great player as the years go on.
You absolutely need Lee on the Knicks as long as Eddy Curry is there - that man is allergic to rebounds.
Randolph can rebound well too. David Lee missed a good portion of last season but the Knicks were still amongst the NBA's best in rebounding.
