Ex-Warrior Lee presented title ring before game

OAKLAND, Calif. -- David Lee got one last loud ovation from the Golden State crowd.

Lee, who went from being the only All-Star on a losing team to a role player on a championship one, was honored Friday night in his first trip back to Oracle Arena since leaving the Warriors after winning the championship last season.

Lee got a loud ovation during pregame introductions as he made his first start for Dallas against his former team. The Warriors then played a video tribute to Lee, and Stephen Curry then walked to center court to say a few words, crediting Lee for "changing the culture" around the team.
