Colangelo, chairman of USA Basketball, said Tuesday by phone that Golden State Warriors forward David Lee, a former University of Florida star, approached him at All-Star Weekend earlier this month in Houston to indicate his desire to play for Team USA. And Colangelo is intrigued. “He’s had a heck of a year,’’ Colangelo said. “He’s been healthy. He’s been with us before but he had injuries.’’ FOXSports Florida

Stephen Curry has played himself back into Team USA mix, Jerry Colangelo tells me. David Lee and Paul George are also on the radar. That's obviously good news for Lee and George in All-Star seasons, but especially significant for Curry, who was in the 2010 world championships but did not make the roster for the 2012 Olympics.

Lee, averaging 19.0 points and 11.3 rebounds, said it would be “great’’ to make a second All-Star appearance, having earned a trip with New York in 2010 as an injury replacement. Curry, averaging 19.5 points and shooting 43.1 percent from 3-point range, said it would a “huge honor’’ to make his first appearance. “You can definitely make a case for both of us,’’ said Curry, who like Lee, believes the Warriors’ chances of having an All-Star are enhanced greatly by their hot start. “It’s nice to be in that conversation. Our team is winning, and it’s our job to keep that going.’’ FOXSports Florida

The reviews are finished. Finally. David Lee had 31 points, nine rebounds and six assists as the Golden State Warriors beat the Denver Nuggets 106-105 Thursday night. But that score came after three official reviews in the final four seconds of the game gave the Nuggets controversial chances to win. The biggest call fell the Warriors' way, though, as Andre Iguodala's three-pointer didn't count because he released after the final buzzer. "I was very confident that it didn't count," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "That being said, I didn't know what the results were going to be, the same way with some of the other calls. Mistakes are going to be made — by players, by coaches, by referees. At the end of the day I'm just thankful we're at a time where we review it. Great camera work. Shout out to the cameraman."

As part of the Warriors 15 Plays for the Holidays, forward David Lee saved the day for the City of Oakland’s Department of Human Services, Communities United Committee, Community Action Partnership and the Emergency Food Providers Committee by donating $25,000 to continue their annual city-wide event to feed seniors and those who are homeless and/or low income. Heading into the annual event funds were unavailable to continue the dinner until Lee stepped up and donated to help provide a free meal and entertainment to more than 2,000 low-income families, seniors and homeless individuals.
