The Rookies didn't play defence lol, all his points were wide open it was not that impressive. Now Chris Paul and Monta Ellis were impressive. I wish they would of gave the ball to Andrea more all his moves to the basket were good though, he was not shooting the ball either I think it had a lot to do with the type of game style Europeans are not use to just messing around like that.
Who cares? These events are just dunk fests. No defense is played. It's not that big of a deal. Loren Woods could have dropped 20 if he got the ball under the net enough....
Ah, you gotta love the Knicks and some of their fans. Celebrating the MVP of a meaningless, unwatchable basketball game ruined by 10 year old kids screaming for every damn basket in a game that had 260 combined points. I couldn't watch more than ten minutes.I like David Lee, though. Plays the game the right way and should have a long, prosperous career.
I agree with JC, I think I could have scored 30 points in this game. I wouldn't say it's much of an accomplishment to score an uncontested dunk every time you touch the ball. Good for David Lee though, he gets overshadowed by most of the other sophomores in this league. I'm glad to see him get some recognition whether it mattered or not.
Lee played very well, but like CelticBalla I think it was said, his points were facilitated by Paul and Williams finding him open and passing to him. IMO Paul should have gotten it, he played amazing, but whatever, its not like this game meant anything anyways.
