Once dumped 37-20-10 on the Dubs when he played for the Knicks.

When he played for the Knicks , he scored 37+20+10 against Warriors .

[–]LakersoOoleveloOo 214 Indicator 5 hours ago Or his 0.1 second buzzer beater alley-oop tip-in

 and his 0.1 second second stewardess to play. 

[–]Knickssmoove 51 Indicator 5 hours ago What a great video. From Gus Johnson losing his shit to everyone ragging Jordan.

 Knicks fans: This video is amazing. Gas Johnson shouted hysterically, everyone was making fun of  Jordan , it was so perfect. [Translation Note 1]

 [Translation Note 1] The former was the commentator at the time, while Jordan was the new boss of the Bobcats who were defeated by  David Lee .

Holly

I remember those days

He was Kevin Love before it was cool

/e: Why are we bringing race into this? They have many other similarities (like putting up 37-20...?)

Mavericks Fan: Awesome. In fact, David Lee was similar to the love in the Timberwolves era. .

um? Everyone says they are both white, so they are connected together, but they have too many similarities outside of skin tones (for example, can they all hold 37+20 at will?)

David-Lee is now getting big Wozniacki , the winner in life! [Translation Note 2]

Hopefully just fucks her, without the up

[–]RaptorsMetaFlight 357 Indicator 5 hours ago

Prime David Lee was more athletic, you're only comparing these two causes they're white PFs

David Lee was more athletic. Isn’t that Mavericks fan comparing Love with him because they are both white?

[–]SpursSmokeyBare 450 Indicator 5 hours ago

David Lee played like Steve Nash mixed with Andrei Kirilenko

David Lee played like a combination of Nash and Kirilenko.

I think he had a jumper like dirk and handles like Kirk Hinrich

I think he had both Dirk's jump shot and Hinrich's feel.

Damn, I’ll always love this man. I’ll never forget that allstar season he had after sitting through years of misery as a Knicks fan. Best of luck to him in his future endeavors.

Knicks fan: Oh my god, I love this guy so much. I've been through years of hard season as a Knicks fan, so the season when David Lee entered the All-Star season I'll never forget. I wish him all the best in the future!

[–][ATL] Ivan Johnson3pol 1057 Indicator 6 hours ago

OG 2010 rolling out of bed no defense guy

David Lee is a typical player who takes 20+10 like chopping melons and vegetables but can't bear to look at it.

JahlilOkafor should take notes

Now Okafor should learn from him.

[–]TheBlindSalesman 194 Indicator 4 hours ago

The notes will read something like this:

"Step 1: play in different era"

to learn from the scriptures? Is the scriptures only eight words: "Traveling to different eras"?

But David Li would pass the ball.

30th pick.Exceeded all expectations.A regular double-double machine for a good 5 years.All-NBA selection to go with it. Won a championship and was a great team player. Made a bunch of money. Found a good woman. Realized his playing days are ending. Retired.A very good career. Enjoy retirement big fallah

David Lee was selected at the last place in the first round, and it can be said that his performance after being selected exceeded people's expectations. In five seasons, he easily averaged a double-double and even made the All-Star. He won the championship and is an excellent team player. Making a lot of money and finding a good woman. After feeling overwhelmed, I chose to retire. Perfect career. Brother, enjoy your life after retirement!

[–]SpursSmallFaithfulTestes 22 Indicators 1 hour ago

Obviously he knows what he wants, but damn he never looked like he regressed to the point of retirement. I loved his effort on the Spurs.

Spurs fan: It is obvious that David Lee has other pursuits, but I feel that he is not so bad that he needs to retire. He played very positively in the Spurs!

[–][GSW] OmriCasspishualton 2195 Indicator 6 hours ago

Thanks DLee for helping us turn our franchise around

Warriors Fan: Thank you David Lee for helping us change the face of the team.

[–]Hearts-and-Thoughts 484 Indicator 6 hours ago

Lee was great in the 2015 Finals. Definitely better than Bogut in that series.

Don’t think he got enough credit for that series.

2015 finals David Lee played very well, and he must be better than Bogut.

I feel that people are not giving him enough praise.

[–][GSW] Leandro Barbosareadercinco 210 indicator 5 hours ago

He didn't play in the first two games and only played a minute in game six. Hard to have a great series when you only play 38 minutes in six games

Warriors fan: He didn't play in the first two games and only played a minute in game six. How can you perform well when you only played 38 minutes in six games?

[–]Warriorsstaxnet 307 Indicator 5 hours ago

Not saying you're wrong, but in my mind his 11 points in 13 minutes off the bench in Game 3 was a huge momentum shift in the series.

Warriors Fan: I'm not saying you're wrong, but in my mind, his score of 11 points in 13 minutes of Game 3 was a huge momentum shift in the series.

Warriors Fan: I'm not saying you're wrong, but in my mind, his score of 11 points in 13 minutes of Game 3 was a huge turn in this series.

Yep, his injury leading to the "discovery" of Dray was a pivotal time for GSW. Perhaps the greatest injury in the history of the NBA.

Yeah, David Lee's injury indirectly led to Green's rise, which was a huge turning point for the Warriors. David Lee's injury was probably the greatest injury in NBA history.

[–]Cooljo 970 Indicator 6 hours ago

Perhaps the greatest injury in the history of the NBA.

Robinson's injury is probably the greatest injury since it essentially directly led to the Spurs getting Duncan.

"Maybe the greatest injury in NBA history."

Robinson 's injury is the greatest injury, because it directly led the Spurs to win Duncan .

[–]Grizzlies1fifteen 374 indicator 6 hours ago

And you know the NBA fucking over it's expansion franchises by not allowing them to win the draft lottery. I'm not bitter, but if the NBA didn't make that rule the Vancouver Grizzlies could have had both Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson.

Grizzlies Fans: And the NBA did not allow teams that expanded at that time had the No. 1 pick.I'm not so stingy, but if the NBA is not so rules-set, the Grizzlies are likely to take both Duncan and Iverson .

[–]WarriorsMacDerfus 105 Indicator 5 hours ago

Expand

Warriors Fan: Can you tell me in detail? I watched the football late.

[–]Grizzlies1fifteen 305 Indicator 5 hours ago

As the Grizzlies prepared to piece together a roster, they had to contend with restrictions put in by the NBA. Not only were they and the Toronto Raptors not allowed to receive the first overall pick in the NBA Draft for the first three years of their existence—they also weren’t allowed to spend to the salary cap in their first two seasons.

So despite the Grizzlies being by far the worst team in the NBA they couldn't actually win the draft lottery.

Grizzlies fans: When the Grizzlies were ready to build their own puzzle, they were blocked by layers of NBA. The NBA deprived me of the Bears and Raptors of the first three years of their establishment, and their team salary in the first two seasons was not allowed to reach the salary cap. So although the Grizzlies were the worst team in the NBA ever, they had no chance to pick the No. 1 pick at all.

Kindaexpected, considering his current relationshipship

Spurs fans: Considering David Lee's current emotional state, his decision to retire can be said to be expected.

[–]Warriorstoothbud 72 Indicator 6 hours ago

he used to date some instagram model. i think he moved up lol

He once made an appointment with some ins supermodels, I think he has made progress now hahaha.

[–]Warriorsuwjames 65 Indicator 4 hours ago

D Lee is a smart dude. A lot of NBA players married bimbos. He found somebody who actually had a life of her own.

D David-Lee is a smart guy. Many NBA players marry vases, and David Lee really found a woman with her own career.

[–]Raptorsbiggz124 80 Indicator 6 hours ago

I wonder why, he was still pretty good with the Spurs.

I really can't figure it out, he is still very cool in the Spurs.

[–][SAS] Avery JohnsonRecycledCan 95 Indicator 6 hours ago*

I don't think he really wants to play basketball anyway. He definitely could, but he just got married and probably wants to support his fiancé

Edit: W/e imma leave it just engaged

Spurs fan: I don't think he really wants to continue playing basketball anyway. He has no problem with his competitive skills, but he has just gotten married and may want to be a fiancée who supports him.

Modification: He just got engaged.

The nba has become all the more ruthless now. Monta Ellis and Deron have no takers at age 32 and age 33. A few years ago both of them would've had a few takers especially deron. It seems David didn't receive any offer either when he decided to become a free agent.

NBA is too cruel now. Monta Ellis and Deron were left unattended at the age of 32 and 33. A few years ago, they were both very popular, especially Deron. David also didn't seem to receive any offer after deciding to become a free agent.

[–]the2kbuckets 256 Indicator 10 hours ago

Meanwhile Vince Carter age 40, Manu Ginobli age 39 are still kicking around... it’s all about efficiency. Ellis and D-Will are incredibly inefficient and GM’s probably doubt that they can change their ways this late into their careers. That’s why they don’t have a spottml1

At the same time, 40-year-old Carter and 39-year-old Ginobili are also in Jiaozuo, NBA. Efficiency is very important. Monta and Deron are too poor. Managers may feel that it is unlikely that their careers will change at this stage. This may be the reason why they are not interested.

[–]Vince Carters4ntana 105 Indicator 5 hours ago

Manu is still a good defender, too.

And Ginobili is still very good defense now.

[–]Mavericksgigantism 210 Indicator 6 hours ago

Carlisle sapped them all of their remaining basketball energy.

Mavericks fan: Carlisle completely squeezed Ellis and Deron.

[–]Netsaydee123 385 Indicator 6 hours ago

Pretty underrated career.

In his 6-year prime (2008-2009 through 2013-2014), he averaged about 18-11-3-1 and was an All-Star twice.

Pretty good for the 30th pick.

I still remember him so well on the Knicks. Time flies.

David Lee's entire career has actually been quite underestimated.

In his peak six seasons (08-09 season to 13-14 season), he averaged 18+13+3+1 per game and was selected as the All-Star twice.

30 ranking, what other bicycle do you want?

His time shining in the Knicks seemed to be still in front of my eyes. Time flies.

[–][HOU] Luis Scolawiggles97 156 Indicator 5 hours ago

That's outstanding for the 30th pick lol. His career is what you would want from a 4-7 pick.

30 ranking, and David Lee's achievement is at the fourth-seventh pick level.
