My Take
Baron Davis was electric, a bulldozer point guard with handles, a thunderous dunk, and a flair for the dramatic that made him must-watch. His defining moment is the 2007 We Believe Warriors, when his eighth seed stunned the 67-win Mavericks and he posterized Andrei Kirilenko in a dunk people still talk about. Knee injuries robbed him of some peak years, but at his best he was one of the most exciting guards in the league. Post-retirement he's reinvented himself as a savvy entrepreneur and media figure. I'll always love him as the heart of one of the great playoff upsets ever.
Overview
Baron Davis is an American former professional basketball player born in 1979 in Los Angeles, California. A two-time NBA All-Star point guard, he played college ball at UCLA before a long NBA career with teams including the New Orleans Hornets and Golden State Warriors.
