D-Lee gets praise from the Prez

St. Louisan David Lee seems to be picking up new fans all the time as he continues his All-Star season with the New York Knicks. Last Friday night, D-Lee had 31 points and 17 rebounds against the world champion Los Angeles Lakers in Madison Square Garden. He scored 16 of those 31 points in the first half.

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.
