Amar’e Stoudemire

more of a star than a role player like david lee should be

but he hustles and runs the floor all game. i never think of him as lazy or someone that doesn’t hustle

but he is a horrible defender

we just disagree on the definition of a hustle player

ugh, can we start the season already. look what we’re talking about here…i cant wait until we can talk about games that actually count

“well i guess the only excuse in that it was preseason and I don’t want our players taking charges in the preseason.”

Wow. If there ever was an excuse made for someone that was it. Kobe Bryant takes charges in the preseason, he dives on the floor in preseason and he sacrifices his body whenever he steps foot on the floor.

As a player you should go all out every time you are on the floor, at BOTH ends. It is up to the coach to limit a players time to try and save them for the season. No one averaged more than probably 25 mins all preseason, I’m sure “Stay Puft Marshmallow” _ave would have been ok taking ONE charge.

You don’t learn how to take charges by trying to avoid hitting the hardwood.

I’m not so glad to see Lee back, mostly because I think he’s more concerned with getting paid than improving his defense.

Defense and Hustle go hand in hand, it is all about effort, some of the least athletic players have been the most stout defenders. Lee doesn’t have that excuse though, he is athletic (quick jumper, runs the floor well).

Name me ONE player in the history of the NBA that was labeled a “hustle player” and at the same time was known as a horrible defender.

man i dont know how you cant like JOE JOHNSON ,he looks like the most complete baller out there 21pts 6 asst 4.5 rebs plus he plays defense and the KNICKS sure could use a 2 guard .he will get clos to max money (if he were a few years younger ,i think he would get max)

well i guess the only excuse in that it was preseason and I don’t want our players taking charges in the preseason. The worst thing that can happen in any preseason game in any sport is that one of your better players gets injured.

Point is that I am glad Lee is back, even with is defensive liability and I do think he hustles. He is just not a good defender. I never said he was, but he has a lot of other attributes that can help this team. Besides, what is our alternative?
