Baron Davis: Was this Charlotte Hornets ALL STAR the Blueprint for the Modern NBA Point Guard? | FPP

- As just a 19 year old freshman at UCLA, he tore his ACL, leading to a great comeback, but would also cause him pain and discomfort for the majority of his career. At UCLA he teamed with future NBA players like Earl Watson and Dan Gadzuric as he played a short two year career before declaring for the NBA draft. Even with the injury concerns his rare combination of size and speed with both a point guard and shooting guard’s skills was too good to pass up as the Charlotte Hornets took him 3rd overall. HE would go on to team with Jamal Mashburn on and off for a few years as they both struggled with injury. He earned his first all star selection in 2002 making him the final all star selection from the original Charlotte Hornets; and would go on to have some more great years in Charlotte and then New Orleans as he earned another all star selection, participated in a dunk contest and won the NBA skills challenge. But injuries and being out of shape caught up to him and he started to break down early, until he was eventually traded to the Golden State Warriors where he would have a great 3 and a half seasons with the team, leading the league in steals once while being good for 20 points and 8 assists per game. He was an integral piece to the Warriors We Believe playoff upset of the Dallas Mavericks and was the perfect player to run Don Nelson’s Run N Gun offense. But after a few years he couldn’t resist the temptation of playing in front of his hometown crowd, so he signed with the Clippers. Unfortunately, the Clippers teams were bad and his decline was quick as after 2 years with the Clippers, playing alongside a young Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon and Deandre Jordan; he spent half a season on the Cavs then finished his career unexpectedly in 2012 with the New York Knicks as he sustained a career-ending knee injury in the 2012 playoffs. He attempted a comeback years later that never materialized and his career ended up being an exciting 13 years that left you wanting more. He played like a runaway freight train with the agility of a dancer; and at 6’3” 220 pounds, this was a scary and relatively unseen combination. And there;s not question that Baron Davis will live on forever in his library of insane NBA highlights, but he had a career that was so much more than that, and one that we’re going to look at today… Let’s jog your memory.

Him Stevie franchise and stephon Marburg were before they time. They all was so fun to watch in early 2000s
I've met Baron at my job at few years ago. As far as his playing career he was NIIIIICCCCEEE
BD was one of the best pgs during the 2000s
B Diddy aka the baron
He handles and leaps for days!
Ruthless loves his game from UCLA
Baron Davis is a Los Angeles legend my hats off to this man. When I was a kid I heard about balling out in high school and was seen with future celebrities while in ucla
I played against him while he was still in high school & all I could say is he gonna be a PROBLEM when he gets in the league
He has one of the most memorable celebrations ever when he lifted up his shirt after a dunk. Iconic imo
And the pop my collar celebration on the buzzer beater back when it was cool to do that lol
How about one of the most unselfish and underappreciated players ever. The "ball don't lie" himself in Rasheed Wallace.
One of my faves
Definitely will never forget BD posterizing AK 47. Speaking of AK 47 you should do a video on him. Only 6'9" but he could block shots and get steals so easy and he wasn't a power forward or center that's what makes his block numbers so impressive.
I strongly agree dude was a dog
I second this, kirleinko the killa was one of my favorites
Please don’t call my homie B-Diddy .
B. Dave is waaay better.
He was one of my favorite Charlotte Hornets. Still one of the best Hornets
YES!!!!!! You did it again brother!!! Next up....... Zack Randolph!!!!!!
Lol bro ain’t nobody forgotten Zach Randolph yet
@@brandoncottingham i just wanna see a video on him lol. These videos are addictive
I would love to see a video about Rod Strickland
DEFINITELY UNDERRATED
Yal did my guy dirty on the artwork on this lol Gooooofy
BD was a beast
Boom Dizzle was nice, always enjoyed watching him play.
I remember him beating the shit outta the Mavs in 2007. Was a fun guy to watch. A damn shame he could not stay healthy.
The bodyguard baron Davis was a strong man driving 2 da paint
Great choice... I remember watching him play UCLA - watching him a couple minutes and u could tell he was a special player...
Dam man, you just keep spitting them out. I have watched them all, and was thoroughly impressed with each and every one of them. Keep it up bro, your doing great
Watching the We Believe Baron Davis highlights, he plays exactly 2013 Heat LeBron
@ 6'2 🔥🔥🔥
People forget the handle BD had when talking about best handles all-time.
Like B D you can't Stop my dribble or block the layup (Tha Carter 1)
Dude I just came across one of your vids a cpl days ago, and I can't stop watchin these. Been a ball player all my life, and grew up watching nba in the 90s -2000s... these videos hit me in the soul lol.
Your research and knowledge makes these the elite on all of youtube. I thank you for the work and effort man. Godspeed
Appreciate the support 🙏
One of my fav players 💯
Another good one!! Forever will remember BD's dunk on AK-47, should do one of him as well!!
I was thinking the same thing, AK47 was badass
Getting to see him play at UCLA and for the Clippers all the time was so awesome! So explosive and entertaining!
Thanks for giving these forgotten players some light
I love this TH-cam channel🫡 we all needed these reminders of these players greatness
BD was special to watch in person in charlotte in the early 2000s
my 2nd favorite PG of all time, mad underrated. Great vid.
@@yeelahowah7476 Isiah Thomas (bad boy pistons) aka Zeke
Use to play with the hornets in nba 2k3 and ngl I use to chuck with Baron lmao boy was cold.
My new favorite channel
I bet he wants to move that Diddy part now 😂😂😂
Him, Stevie franchise, and Starbury changed the whole pg position
They should put him in the hall of fame he was the deal back in the day and he's my favorite player
The original "the beard"
BD and Stevie Franchise
I would love to see a video on peeler and sedale threatt. One of the fastest laker back courts of all time .
Was always one of my favorite pgs.. still is tbh
Nice. You feel like doing one on Eric Snow from 2000-01 76ers? I thought he was a decent player at the time.. stat wise eh, but during those years their roster was stacked. The Lakers just had that edge on them (Shaq&Kobe) and Mutumbol was basically old. Eric played his best I think.
Eric snow was trash.
How about Reggie Lewis or Kevin Johnson next?
I always think of his college selection when he tossed the KU hat and put on the UCLA hat. (I'm a lifelong KU fan). He's the man tho
The Warriors missing the playoffs while finishing 14 games over .500, while at least 2 or 3 teams with a losing record made it in the East for seveal years, shows you just how tough the West was
thanks fpp good job,,,keep it going,,,,,
Wish that I could’ve seen him play in H.S. Word is that he was even more athletic before tearing his ACL.
I watched Baron Davis since UCLA I'm in Portland scoot Henderson is going to be the new Baron Davis without the injuries add that they're the same type of athletic beast Baron was
Gerald Wilkins or Alvin Robertson next please!
Do Al Jefferson next!!!
never heard him called b-diddy...but thanks for the videos
Is Baron Davis really forgotten? Damn, and I don't recall him playing for the Cavs at all lol.
U pick great players, and u do a great job..I mean that
pretty much my all time favorite player enjoyed the vid
OH Yes!!!! Talk about him. B Davis was ICE Cold! Superbly talented and explosive..... True point guard...... Only Achilles heels were injury and not truly capitalizing on what was a superb skill set...... Could have been should have been an all-timer
I remember I seen him in person I was like DAMN that’s a point guard or a middle linebacker he was tall and huge
Every gen we usually get the comp like that .. bd vs Francis deron vs Paul and rose vs Westbrook .. good times
Diddy was straight smashing dudes
that UCLA clip he hurt himself because he was showboating. He kicks his right foot out as a flex & came down awkward smh
grew up living by Detroit Mercy but I was a big BD fan then too
Stellar
B dizzle u can't stop the dribble or block the layup lol
You should do Alex English next
Love the channel. But I don’t see B Diddy as forgotten. If you watched you know.
The start to who dub nation is today
BD BullDawg... He's on my All team.
Can we get a Andre Miller or Tyson Chandler one.
Marbury with elite strength.
If he was a tad bit more disciplined as player in terms of staying in shape, shot selection, and turnovers he could’ve been a hall of famer
B Diddy was fun to watch. Everybody liked watching him play.
He reminds me of Pearl Washington, he dribbled so low. Its hard to guard some one when you're u get loooooow like he did.
Man you gotta do Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson
Q RIch? yes....D Miles...oh no
@@YashayahTheAlmighty mannnnn was D Miles a bust? I remember him being ok. Especially with the Blazers
I was so glad when we got rid of elden campbell. Hated seeing eddie go, especially for rice.
The O.G. of Power Guards
But what about that dunk on KG?
Yep, here too.
My guy! appreciate the support!
Did I hear that BD shot 58% from the free throw line?? @9:56
James Harden prototype
more like Westbrook
4:06 Al Harrington lookalike
Man you gotta clean up graphics for these thumbnails. You got BD looking like he got 5th degree burns.
Yes sir 💯
Thank you
This the best one yet I should do Joe Johnson or when Marion next
When he KO'd KarelinkO!! BD str8 BodieD him!!🤣
Dang!!! Jamal Mashburn was such wasted potential that he’s on this channel AND on “Stunted Growth”. Sheeeesh! 🤣😂🤣😂
Baron Davis was the first to do what Vince Carter did to zo
B Didd is That Niiia Boi
CRAZY BOUNCE !
I could actually enjoy watching Him school My Boi Mark Dickell & The Runnin Rebels
and that's something I haven't said about anyone else .
Even Kawhi I couldn't stand when SDSU played UNLV because Kawhi had His very best NCAA Games Vs Vegas
He would go off every time and being out West I knew Kawhi was dope and mad fun to watch on late night ESPN 2
But not Vs UNLV 😏
Barron on the other hand ... So much fun to watch & then He went to Charlotte too ill
Can you do david lee
The year they won 48 and missed the playoffs the west was brutal at that time
B.Diddy was D.Rose Version 0.5. 🔥
His high school is located where?
Steven Smith
Joe Johnson Josh smith, Al Harrington, monta Ellis Micheal reed
Ankles taken @11:27
How was his shooting % so bad?
His size made it tuff for him to finish effectively plus he took a lot of bad shots (especially from 3) he was honestly a lot like Iverson but without volume scoring to offset the inefficiency
Davis played 82 games Hell naw!! Still GSW Hoop top 3 guard
11:25 14:55
Lol @ not keeping in great shape. Why do you think he wasn’t in shape? You can’t do the things he did if you’re not in shape.
Who the hell is B Diddy🤔🤔🤔
The B the D the I the D the D the Y it’s B-Diddy
New Orleans hornets get it right
Nah steve francis
Baron Davis > Russell Westbrook.....this man took the Clippers to the Playoffs when they were the laughing stock of the league
street vol 3🔥
