He is the leader of the Golden State bandits, and the peak Nowitzki has been insulted because of him, and he is the founder of the original violent point guard play, Barron Davis.
Born in '79 just a few kilometers from the Staples Center, he grew up watching Magic play, but his favorite team was the Los Angeles Clippers, who used to hand out gifts in his community.
Barron Davis was famous in the United States when he was in high school, and the year he graduated, he received invitations from basketball schools all over the country, and he finally chose UCLA, which is the closest to his home, because he didn't want to be too far from home. His announcement of joining UCLA is comparable to LeBron's joining the Heat on the National Broadcast.
After he joined, UCLA also changed its weak image for many years and became the sixth seed in the NCAA Crazy March that year.
Because he couldn't control his mouth during the recuperation period, his sophomore season weight increased by more than 20 pounds directly, but fortunately, he lost weight while competing, and lost more than 20 pounds in less than a month, but this year's "Crazy March" fell directly in the first round.
Even though the team's results were poor and he still had injury risks, he still resolutely participated in the NBA draft that year, because in his opinion, a strong life is to do.
For Barron Davis in the '99 draft, it doesn't matter how many picks he is picked, the most important thing is to be close to home, and the top three picks, the Bulls, Grizzlies, and Hornets are not in his consideration. He didn't want to be far from his hometown, and even publicly shouted before the draft that he didn't want to play in the East, although he had the strength of the top three, he still hoped that the hometown team with the fourth pick, the Los Angeles Clippers, could select him.
At that time, the Charlotte Hornets didn't care so much, and directly chose Barron Davis with the No. 3 pick, originally thought that he would be like the top show Francis, tough Grizzlies, but he just said a few words, so he packed his bags and rushed to Charlotte, as a point guard, he could only serve as a substitute for David Wesley in his rookie season, and he had no chance to play, because the main rotation in the team, guard Bobby Fils died unexpectedly, so he got a lot of opportunities to perform.
At that time, the boss of the Hornets team was Eddie Jones, as a rookie, Barron Davis, did not dare to show his offensive desire wantonly, but honestly played the role of his backup point guard, and also performed well, averaging 3.8 assists per game, ranking first among all rookies.
In the second season of his career, Barron Davis was promoted to the starting position as the team's boss Eddie Jones was traded for Mashburn to play as a forward.
The backcourt duo of him and David Wesley gradually made a name for himself in the NBA. He also averaged 13.8 points, 7.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game to help the team reach the playoffs.
In the first trip to the playoffs, the Heat, who played without Alonzo Mourning, was powerless and swept the opponent directly.
In the second round, it took seven big battles to lose to the hands of the three musketeers of the Bucks, composed of Ray Allen, Big Dog Robinson, and Cassel. This series averaged 17.8 points, 5.8 assists, plus 2.8 steals per game, and shot more than 40% from three-point range.
In the 2002 season, Barron Davis took over the team's offensive banner as the team's boss Mashburn was reimbursed due to injury, scoring 18.1 points in the regular season, diching out 8.5 assists and 2.1 steals. With his outstanding performance, he was successfully selected as an All-Star in the third season of his career.
In the first round of the playoffs, facing the firepower of Maddie, with two consecutive triple-doubles, he sent him home to fish early without mercy, but he didn't expect this to become the beginning of Maddie's nightmare in the first round of the playoffs.
In the second round, he met the Nets led by the peak Jason Kidd, and he was embarrassed to lose, you must know that the peak Kidd is also a ruthless man who led the team to the finals for two consecutive years, and he was also convinced to lose to Barron Davis.
But in the two rounds of the playoffs, Barron Davis averaged 22.6 points per game, 7.9 assists and 3.6 steals to revitalize the team. Don't look at this kind of score is nothing now, you must know that the average score per game at that time was just over 100.
In the playoffs, the stats are better than the regular season, and Barron Davis is the postpone-postpatory player, the quintessential big-field player.
In the 02-03 season, due to the acquisition of the Hornets, the team moved to New Orleans and changed its name to the New Orleans Hornets, which are still affiliated with the Eastern team.
Barron-Davis was plagued by injuries that season, playing in only 50 regular season games, and his stats also declined to varying degrees, and the team missed the playoffs.
In the 03-04 season, the Hornets' last season in the East, the team's star Marshburn, after 19 regular season games, said goodbye to the game due to injury. So far, Barron Davis has unlimited firing rights in the team and has become the first generation of "Queen Bee".
With an average of 22.9 points, 7.5 assists, and 2.4 steals per game, he was selected as an All-Star that season and won the Skills Challenge. The team also made the playoffs. It's a pity that when he faced the Heat in the first round, he was killed by Dwyane Wade, who had just entered the league, and missed the next round.
In the 04-05 season, with the expansion of the NBA, Charlotte had the Bobcats, and the Hornets became a team in the West, due to off-court factors and their own lack of discipline, and the team also lost patience with Barron Davis, and was traded by the team to the Golden State Warriors before the trade deadline.
Under the tutelage of the old Nelson in Golden State, he became the leader of the Golden State gang, although he only played one playoff game in three and a half seasons, but it was because of this playoff trip that he became one of the most evocative Black Eight Miracles in history, Barron Davis used an average of 25 points per game, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.7 assists to completely blow up the Dallas Mavericks' guard line, and the German king Novis was completely infamous as a soft egg after the basic round series.
Although he lost to the Utah Jazz in the second round, his famous scene of blocking Kirilenko is still remembered by fans today.
In the years that followed, although the team's record steadily improved, it never missed the playoffs due to the fierce competition in the West.
In the summer of 2008, Barron Davis opted out of his contract and joined the Los Angeles Clippers instead of executing his final year of $17.8 million contract.
In the past two years with the Clippers, Barron Davis has been unable to integrate into the team due to his increasing self-discipline and weight, coupled with the conflict with the head coach, the team's record is getting worse and worse, and his condition is also good and bad.
He was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 10-11 season, and due to his deteriorating form, he was bought out by the Cavaliers the following season and joined the New York Knicks as a free agent.
Barron Davis has become the pioneer of violent guard play with his super physical fitness, and his physical fitness and impact on the basket are not at all inferior to the later Derrick Rose, Westbrook and others. He is familiar with a lot of offensive skills, and his low face frame and back-to-back singles make it difficult for opponents to adapt to his attacking rhythm.
He was also the first pioneer to use the step-back step to get rid of the defensive jumper, according to the statistics at the time, in the 07-08 season, the NBA league had a total of 371 step-back jumpers, and Barron Davis personally used the step-back step 93 times, in that era of building a team with the inside line as the core, he can not only have the big picture like Kidd, but also like white chocolate, from time to time to pass another teammate unbelievably good ball.
On the defensive end, he can lead the opponent's arrowhead all over the court, and through constant pressure, force the opponent to make mistakes, waiting for opportunities to complete the steal, the two-time NBA steal king proved his strength on the defensive end. He can rely on his strong body to defend from the number one position to the number three position.
Barron-Davis's explosive style of play was unique at the time, full of violence and dexterity, and if you had to describe this style in one sentence, it would be a gangster.
