What Ever Happened To David Lee?

David Lee used to be a walking 20-10 player on the Knicks. When he joined the Warriors, he was still putting up fantastic numbers...but it was also where his NBA career died. Hope you enjoy the video!

Dude snagged a chip, made $95 million bucks, and retired before 35. I'd take that all day 😂

It was sad seeing David Lee go down with an injury in 2014, but that was also the reason why Draymond became a starter and eventually a DPOY winner

[brucelau]

Truly tho prime David Lee yes when he was on the Knicks unfortunately he never was on a playoff team during his 5 years there, but man when he got signed with the warriors, he was a double double guy, but his sacrifice in 2014-15 was just unbelievable, coming off the bench to win a chip a lot of people respected that, very underrated center

[ChiCityLoc]

David Lee was a dawg, and as a warriors fan since 02’ I think a lot of feel the same way that we are truly grateful that an all star player wanted to play in the bay. He really did set us up for a winning culture and having players wanna come play in the bay

David Lee, David West, and LaMarcus Aldridge were the last of the dying breed of All-star caliber PFs that had that deadly elbow mid-range jumpers.

Honestly we gotta give Lee his credit. He was warming the bench in the finals in 2015 and when they put him in the game in like game 4 and 5 I think, he started putting in some good work . Better than Bogut
Much respect to my dude

2x all star and 1x NBA champion, he achieved more than 99% of us.

that background music always makes me feel so good. thanks for all the content over the years. love ya andy

This guy was so good, he was one of my main targets in fantasy bball after the main guys are picked; he was one of the safest picks back then. Sad he got phased out early like Andy said, but such a consistent threat during his prime!

[noodles]

People forget, Lee was a big contributor in game 3 as a spark that they almost won and games 4-6, continued that momentum to the 2015 championship.

Gotta be honest, david Lee and Nate Robinson Knicks teams were some of my favorite during my fan hood so far, glad to see a vid on him from ya Andy

I credit David Lee for the turnaround in our 1st championship. Down 2-1 in the series, Lee played some minutes that showed Draymond how to facilitate as the roller when they were trapping Steph. Previously, Dray was getting calls for offensive fouls being too aggressive rolling to the basket but Lee came in and with his mid game range and distributed showed Dray other ways to attack to which he then implemented in the series. Dray was hitting floaters and dishing out to the wings or oops after Lee played.

[pranoypaul]

I always liked how easy it was for him to score, he was a very good scorer and an offensive rebounder.

Played 12 seasons in NBA, won an NBA championship, earned 94M throughout his career with a net worth of 40M, marries Caroline Wozniacki

David Lee was highkey a great pickup for the Spurs as their Boris Diaw replacement in 2017. Sad that he got injured in the Warriors series along with Kawhi

[robertmoore]

Lee put up a perfect shooting percentage in the Rookie vs. Sophomore game on all-star weekend

[Gordonzolar]

I really started to get into Basketball around 2008 or 2009. back then in germany i could only watch one game every other day. I remember watching the Knicks one day and David Lee immediatly caught my eye because he was so good, yet underrated at the time.

[stuartrobinson]

The Dubs were led by four draft picks in 2015. Harrison Barnes' contribution to the team gets overlooked way too many times.

[issactalauta]

I highly doubt that he will be a “Lost relic” in Warriors history. He’s very well loved by everyone in the bay and the Warriors as a whole.

[solascriptura-et]

No doubt,
David Lee was nice with the Warriors.
I always had high hopes for him.
