Two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis has had a successful professional career, playing for the Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks. Davis holds the NBA career postseason record for averaging 2.28 steals per game over 50 games. In a recent episode of the Draymond Green Show, Davis discussed what it was like to play under former Clippers owner Donald Sterling. He mentioned that he always wanted to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. You can hear the conversation at the 48:00 mark.
“It was very hard for me (not going to the Lakers). I always wanted to play for the Lakers and be a Laker. My entire career, every time I tried, and then I was like, ‘F*ck it,’ I guess I’m the underdog guy, so I go to the Clippers. In three years, I’ll be able to create a ‘We Believe’ type of magic with the Clippers if we can get the right people involved.” Davis said.
Furthermore, Davis mentioned that the Warriors were dreadful and that moving to the Clippers was the worst.
“Going to the Clippers was the worst. I thought the Warriors were bad. It was like a bad soap opera. The Clippers, it was like a bad soap opera in prison… You walk into the Clippers facility, and you’re like, ‘Man, who is about to snitch on me now? Where are these f*cking cameras at?!’…” Davis added.
Davis Slams Sterling as a ‘Weirdo’ and ‘Racist’ in Scathing Critique
With more criticism, Davis stated that Sterling is a weirdo who surrounds himself with strange people. The two-time NBA All-Star also mentioned that Sterling is a racist who will say anything to anyone. He addressed issues related to race and gender, mentioning both Brown and Black individuals, as well as women and men.
“He was just a weirdo, just having weird people around him. I felt like anyone who hung around that dude had to be a weird motherf*cker because he was like beyond weird. Not that he was a racist; he was a hate everybody-ist… He was delusional and hated. So he would say anything to anybody. Woman, man, black, brown…” Davis continued.
