    wow...thanks for telling me that Lee is white...

    I thought he was from India....

    NO....he has played well but he doesn't deserve to be in the all-star game....

    I believe Lebron, KG, CB3 have played much better than him....

    Besides...if Lee was in....who should go out?

    Based on the premise of teams not doing good CB4 should not be an All-star for that sole reason even though his stats are through the roof. I am a Knicks fan and can honestly say w/o Lee we would be 15 games lower.

    Not only does Lee lead the NBA in double doubles, but he has won all the match ups btwn. players, like Shaq, Amare, Brand, West,Jamison,KG, Yao, and Duncan the best PF in NBA history said, that Lee will be a multiple All-star one day, so I take it Lee feels reassured and will not take the snub to heart. He is also 4th in FG% and RPG. He was in these categories top 5 for 3 years now and this year is his first to do so in the starting lineup and not the bench.

    Jameer Nelson aka Playoff choker should not be an All-star. I knew 3 years ago the Magic would be a beast in the East by seeing DH12 turn into a dominating force. Knowing, very well the Center position is a new breed of finesse players the Magic would pose an advantage on a nightly basis on that sole premise. Especially, if they surround Howard w/ shooters cause his presence opens the court more. Jameer is not a All-star. Neither, is Devin Harris he is a stat pading player, but not a leader.

    VC is the leader and All-star of that team. Harris gets stats and does not lead. J Kidd on the Mavs may not get more stats than Harris, but they are @ better odd to succeed than they were with Harris. Look, at it this way w/ a healthy Carter Kidd would have done better than a 20-28 record. Especially, with FA's like Keyon Dooling signing. In fact, Kidd last year as bad as the Nets were had a better record at this point of the season than they do now.

    Lee deserved it over all these guys.

    As a Knick fan, I am a little perturbed at David Lee being snubbed as he could easily replace:

    Jameer Nelson - 17 points per game & 5.4 Asts per game (09')

    and

    Rashard Lewis - 19.3 points per game & 6.0 rebounds per game (09').

    Lee is having a fantastic year at 15.7 ppg and 11.6 ppg (clearly better than jameer nelson IMO)

    Still on the West Coast, Al Jefferson was an even bigger snub at 22.9 ppg and 10.6 rpg

    Although some may say that when Lee's outside jumper is more of a surprise, he doesn't deserve the spot. Even if his team is under .500 and when his team's offense is more conducive to bigger stat lines, it was not fair at all for David Lee to be excluded from Pheonix.

    Lee and the Knicks are in contention for the eighth seed as of today 1/31/09 because they are only half a game behind its current owners, the Bucks.

    If the Knicks win today, the will be 21-25 and if the Bucks lose, the Knicks would take the eighth seed.

    The bottom line is Lee deserved to play in the All Star Game, but he was just left out.

    no its not BCIuse hes white, its using fact he isnt as stable using fact the different PF in the NBA i think of he desires slightly extra artwork to be an all action picture star. he's a tremendously stable participant nevertheless. yet another excuse ought to be that his team is quite undesirable so the league wont seem at him too plenty.

    No I don't think he should be on the Eastern All Star team, he is on the knicks, nobody from that team needs to be an all-star
