It’s been 10 years since Lee was named an All-Star as a Golden State Warrior.And it’s an anniversary worth celebrating around Golden State. Not only because Lee became the organization’s first All-Star since Latrell Sprewell in 1997, but his selection unknowingly then marked the start of an NBA dynasty.Now it’s news if the Warriors are underrepresented at All-Star weekend.
“The year that I made the All-Star game 2013,” Lee said, “we finally started to gain some traction. We went from being a team that everybody was beating up on to earning respect.”The Knicks signed-and-traded Lee to Golden State in 2010 for the presumptuous purpose of clearing cap space for free agent LeBron James. Lee was in strange territory. None of his friends knew where the Warriors played — “I know it’s in California…right?” they’d ask.
He still heard the laughs. Like when a Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach giggled at them during pre-game warm-ups at Oracle Arena. The Lakers had Kobe Bryant surrounded by a huge front of Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, no match for Warriors’ bigs Lee and Andrew Bogut. But then Curry scored 54 in Madison Square Garden that February. Even if he was snubbed for the All Star game alongside Lee, his 3-point spectacular turned into the Splash Brothers special with Thompson.
“Big bro. Guess what? They put me up with Steph and Klay on the pregame poster,” Green said. “How cool is that?”“Draymond, they took me off the poster and put you on,” he said. Green’s smile dropped and he apologized until Lee assured him it was OK. So even when Lee was cleared to play, there wasn’t a role for him anymore. Head coach Steve Kerr pulled him aside.
