Welcome to the home of the B:Ball Guru! On this page you will find thoughts on everything current in basketball as well as links to interesting articles that I find.
Let me start out with my first topic: Why David Lee is going to be an NBA All Star.
1- He is putting up the best numbers (19 and 11) on a Knicks team that everyone is rooting for at the moment (it is always nice to see a team that has been dreadful the past few years actually being respectful).
2- He is THE GUY this year that everyone wants in the all star game (Think Mo Williams 2009, David West 2008, etc). If you listen to a discussion on the East All Stars by anyone and David Lee comes up, his name is followed instantly by "He is an All Star, no doubt"
3- He has gotten the Kobe Bryant seal of approval. Immediately following the Lakers Knicks game on Friday, Bryant was asked about David Lee and he responded with "I think he's an all star." Once Kobe is pulling for you, you know you are in.
So on Thursday, Knicks fans will be happy to know that their embaressing streak of not having an all star since 2001 will finally be over. Happy day.
