Ricky Davis

To me, Ricky Davis is the kind of player whose box score never quite captures the spectacle. A 6-foot-6 product of Las Vegas and Iowa who lasted twelve seasons in the NBA, he carried a flair that drew both cheers and criticism, and I respect that he never sanded down his personality to fit in. Long careers like his demand far more grit than highlight reels suggest. I find athletes who play with unapologetic style more compelling than safe, forgettable ones, and Davis, for all his ups and downs, was never forgettable.
