Earl Austin Jr: D-Lee gets praise from the Prez D-Lee gets praise from the Prez ================================================================================ Earl Austin Jr on 27/01/2010 21:31:00 As Lee headed to the locker room for halftime, he heard a voice in the crowd yell to him "Hey, you played well in the first half." Lee turned around to see who gave him the compliment and too his amazement, it was former President Bill Clinton, a NYC resident who was taking in the game. Said a stunned Lee to a local media outlet, "You should have seen my amazement. I had no idea he was supposed to be here because we weren't told. It was pretty special." It was D-Lee's 24th double-double of the season, which currently leads the NBA. I will be shocked if David Lee is not in the NBA All-Star game this year. Also, our sympathies to D-Lee and his family on the passing of his grandfather, Desmond Lee last week. Desi Lee was quite a basketball player at University City High during the 1930's before going to become a very successful businessman and philanthropist.
