Aw man I didn't know Jerry Sloan died. I used to really follow basketball for years but feel off since my daughter was born. I thought I would have heard the news regardless.
I liked those black and blue cavs jerseys Davis played in and always thought he looked cool af in the Celtics jersey. One of my favorite 2k role players of all time
Stuntedgrowth did a video on him last week he had great potential but him shooting at his on basket to get a triple double is the 2nd funniest moment in nba history after when Tracy mcgrady kicked the ball in the crowd and someone throw the ball back and he kicked it again lol
I was confused at first, I thought he did a Ricky Davis video already and then I locked back at his catalog and realized it was Larry Hughes who he did. They're pretty much the same player
@@Garf_malarf that team was fun to play on NBA live 04, of course I know LeBron did not go to the league until 2003, it was the same year I graduated high school. I watched him in high school.
Ricky Davis was very delusional. Even before LeBron got there; sure Ricky Davis scored the most points in the 02-03 season, but the actual All Star Big Z was easily a superior player to him on the team. Especially, when considering the defensive side of the ball.
holy shiiit i remember this dude. wow. and then yes i forgot about him too. lol. but seriously, hes one of them players that makes you wonder "if he was in the right system". because as soon as i saw some of the highlights i remember a lot more of actually watching him. and i remember thinking how good this dude was. so i stand by it. if he was in a good system that he wanted to be in. his skills really make that a fun what if. he seriously was that skilled
For anyone curious I believe that was Max Scherzers first season in Washington when the score ticker had him as the winning pitcher that moved his record to 8-5.
Woowww... I´m shocked... But, just because today I realize that I saw former Cavs coach Keith Smart playing impressives dunks at the Forum de Valencia in Venezuela, with our team Trotamundos :D !!!! thanks for this video man !
Ricky Davis was ultra talented, and had all the tools to be a great player and wasn’t. He was great size at 6’7 200lbs, had a 42’ vertical at his peak, could shoot the deep ball off screens or off the dribble, defend when he wanted to, and had the attitude to compete as well as showcase.
Man ricky e-rob and baron were a crazy trio in Charlotte for a second...I’m from Seattle...as a kid...For me to like a team from a slave state...you had to be super dope
Anybody that watched RD play knew his personality wouldn’t mesh with Lebron RD is a alpha and isn’t afraid to speak up, Lebron was giving the keys before playing a min in the nba, and that’s why they cleaned the team out
I was at the "wrong basket" game. I was sitting above the Jazz bench. Stockton and Malone were there. And Mark Jackson became 2nd on the all time assist list at the time.
I played against Rickey like 5-6 years ago let me tell you bro was Cold and I played him years after retirement lol. He gave me a bucket in every spot on the court
I love "Stunted Growth" and saw his video on Ricky Davis but FPP does a lot of videos that are not on the same subject as SG at the time. I love FPP as well. Just a coincidence this time.
The 3rd All Star on the Bulls first 3 peat. Dick Riders never mention him. But he was damn good. Eliminated the Bulls with MJ and Scotty in 95 playing PF for the Magic.
Ricky Davis is kind of fascinating. He was a troll but also extremely talented at the same time. His career has a bit of a dark cloud over it but the guy could freaking play regardless of what mistakes he made to convince people otherwise and I always thought the wrong rimmed shot thing was overblown by everyone
Lmao I was like in 7th or 8th grade i think, i remember the Cleveland years before Lebron, i was a fan of Ricky Davia and always thought he could be the next superstar, i remember telling my friends then "Yo look out for Ricky Davis, hes gonna be elite!" Lol and wanted a white Cavs 31 Davis jersey so bad😂😂
Watching these vids and seeing guys averaging like 15-19 points is crazy thinking about harden averaging 30 plus. And those guys were number 2 and 3 options. Wonder what they’d average in today’s league?
It didn't get as bad as what CC has had to deal with, but Bron had to deal with some negativity as a rookie as well. But he quickly squashed that mess and the rest is history and until he retires history is still being made.
Now it’s normal to come to the nba before you’re ready. He was sorta lambasted by some places for doing what’s now normal. And I’d argue he’s was a lot more ready than most players coming up
Definitely would've benefitted playing on a playoff or championship contending team as a sixth man especially early on. Probably should've went back to school for another year or two to mature more and maybe get drafted higher.
The quote about Bron made it worst. All he worrying about is getting shots up instead of winning. He’s a bum. He stunted dajuan Wagner growth by hating on Bron.
Ricky Davis was ultra talented, but he had all of the tools to be a great NBA player, but he didn’t live up to his expectations and potential. He was a high flying dunker who could play the game well. He was also the most influential player in the league.🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
When they talk about greatest dunkers of all time they always mention the main stars. Jason Richardsons,, Ricky Davis, Desmond Mason, Gerald Green are all better dunkers than Michael Jordan.
he's actually really talented even for NBA standards. But his goal in the league is for fame and fortune, with winning being an afterthought. Could have had a different outlook if he were to play to day where nearly all the young players in the league have a chip as their primary goal
If the Cavs would've still had Ricky Davis & checked his ego & also kept Dejuan Wagner when drafted LeBron & all three of the players could've worked together & became good teammates & maybe brothers as well & got the Cavs to the playoffs after LeBron second year in the NBA
Jerry Sloan face (RIP) when Ricky D. Goes for the triple double in epic fashion 😯🤣🤣🤣
Aw man I didn't know Jerry Sloan died. I used to really follow basketball for years but feel off since my daughter was born. I thought I would have heard the news regardless.
Shooting at his own basket to try and get a rebound so he could get a triple double is one of the funniest moments in basketball history.
It really is.
Ikr😅
Dude really did that 😂😂
U mean the other teams basket 🤔
Wrong Rim Ricky
Ricky Davis was fun to watch. Nothing but love for him. Such a happy player. Good vibes from him.
Would love to see Dajuan Wagner feature soon
I liked those black and blue cavs jerseys Davis played in and always thought he looked cool af in the Celtics jersey. One of my favorite 2k role players of all time
Bobby Phills was mad underrated
The sports research champ is back!!!!!!
An unadulterated beast in the research game. I say this all the time. Props to Forgoten Player Profiles!
His in game dunks is wild
Would love to see one on Anthony Peeler, he was a pretty solid player
I forgot all about that dude but he was a killer
If you make it to the league you're not a failure.
Their attitude to be the man is what got him to the NBA. Pretty impossible to abandon that mindset as a young man.
This was extremely well done (e.g., editing, narration) and gave a *RARE* positive slant on Davis’ career.
Stuntedgrowth did a video on him last week he had great potential but him shooting at his on basket to get a triple double is the 2nd funniest moment in nba history after when Tracy mcgrady kicked the ball in the crowd and someone throw the ball back and he kicked it again lol
Hahahaha! I forgot about that one.
SG is an underrated channel along with this one
Nice video on Ricky Davis. You should do one on Antoine Walker and Bobby Jackson.
my fav role player of 2000s!!!thank you !!!! next can be Josh Smith or Elton Brand!
He was a wild player when he was young, but none the less he was one of my favorite players to watch
Stunted Growth just did a video on him
Jus watched it
The JR Smith of the 00's
JR is the JR of the 2000s
Nailed it!!
@@Amarukhan99Right and JR was better and had a better career.
Definitely some similarities in highlight potential. J.r. Was a bit better imo. He offered more efficiency on offense and defense.
@@Amarukhan99lol right jr came in the league like 03
I would love to see a Ben Gordon, Josh Smith or Gerald “Crash” Wallace video.
He did a Gerald Wallace video already.
@@lil_james1584 I didn’t know, I’ll check it out. Thank you for the info
The fact that he went Eastbay down 20 is wild 😂😂😂😂 (clip time 27 second mark)

Do jamal crawford, penny, Alan Houston Or Jameer Nelson
As the video went on... All I want to say is. This guy was playing mostly every game every season. Big ups. 🏀
Can’t remember if it was live 09 or 2K but he was unstoppable on it lol
Yup those Cleveland teams with him LeBron and Miles was awesome. NBA live 99 was my favorite all the way until 2005.

Your SG scoring is more important considering the Center is for defense and rebounding. If your best defender is the SG team in trouble.

Do J-Rich…Jason Richardson
Hey can you do one on Steve Francis
It was soppuse to be wagner , davis, labron , miles, and big z , insane how much talent can be wasted
I completely forgot about Ricky Davis. He was definitely a scorer unfortunately he never saw a shot he didn't like.
From Las Vegas to Iowa? Christ.
North Las Vegas to be exact but yeah.
A VERY FUN AND NICE GUY RICKY DAVIS!!!! HUMBLE CAT THEY. TRIPPIN
I loved Davis when he was on the Celtics. Bro could hoop
The Wally S trade has a favorable effect: he was used as the expiring contract for the Ray Allen trade

Sweet. Good video
He was like 18/4/5 in Minnesota.
Love ur videos. Can u do me a favor. Can u add dates to the videos? And if the player plays somebody notable in college. U should say it.
Ricky Avis from the nbas Timberwolves? Fantastic player
Davis was a solid 20 point player
Good job I have almost forgot about Ricky, I think you only missed the amount of each contract
Very athletic but very very selfish as well. At least he wasn't scared to shoot.
Dude was a bucket!!!

Davis was amazing on NBA live. He is just another in a long line of talents who didn’t have the right mentality.
Offensively he was a dawg, I swear stunted growth just did something just like this but you're a little bit better
LeBron already knew better after 1 season.
The teenager already had more sense than Davis .
I am surprised you forgot to mention that he is a part of famous hip hop duo Outkast 😂
