My Take
What fascinates me about Steve Davis is the gap between his ruthless dominance and his unflappably ordinary demeanor. Seven straight seasons at world number one, six world titles, and yet he was nicknamed for being dull. I read that as the ultimate weapon: emotionless precision that wore opponents down. But the real surprise is his second act as a DJ and devotee of obscure electronic music. A man who mastered the most cerebral, patient sport turning into a champion of weird records tells you everything about his curiosity. He is proof that quiet, methodical people often run deepest.
