david lee golden state warriors...

I was happy the Warriors traded for the ex-Knick and Florida Gator.

He recently hurt the middle finger on his right hand causing much concern for Golden State fans because of the serious wrist injury of Udoh the first round pick from Baylor who'll be out for six months...

I saw Lee @ a Giants game versus Florida on Monday night and his finger looked fine. He'll be more than ready for training camp. This will give him an opportunity to work on dribbling and shooting with his left hand while nursing his right hand...

According to an article by Rusty Simmons of the Comicle- Lee on his first full day in town went to a San Francisco elementary school and pledged along with the Warriors and a foundation to refurbish the outdoor basketball court @ the school.

I don't know the background of his father, but Lee's recently departed grandfather donated $70 million over the years to various children's organizations and local universities in St. Louis.

Plus, David Lee attended a funeral for a Knicks security guard even after he was traded to the Warriors so someone from the New York organization would be represented. Man, that tells me a lot about the kid's character...

And I want to thank Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle for writing an excellent article about David Lee showing the humanistic side of the 80 million dollar man who averaged 20.2 points and 11.7 rebounds last season.
