David Lee comes to the Boston Celtics a new kind of leader for the team

Leadership: ”a process of social influence in which a person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task”, so says Wikipedia. To me, leadership has always been about showing and telling.

Power Forward David Lee was officially introduced by the Boston Celtics on Monday after it was announced he was dealt to the green team weeks ago on July 7. The deal sent back Gerald Wallace and Chris Babb to Golden State as a form of tax relief.

With Wallace off to California, or home should the team waive him, Lee has now been pressed into that special role of leader at 32 years old on the NBA’s 4th youngest team by average age.
