Inside the 50: Brad Davis

Originally Published 10/25/2016 - Monaca native Brad Davis knows a thing or two about loyalty. A journeyman for the first portion of his professional career, Davis found a fit in Dallas, where he played 12 seasons for the Mavericks. His loyalty was rewarded as having his number retired, only one of two players in the organization to receive that honor. With the constant player movement of today's NBA with lucrative free agent contracts, Davis sees the appeal.

Very underrated player. He wasn't the most talented player, but maximized his talent while playing hard. He's a class act and it's rare to see someone like him who contribute and continue to contribute to an organization.

Brad was a good player i didn't even realize he played as long as he did.

One of the best point guards ever from the University of Maryland. He was magic before Magic at Maryland. The fastbreaks were legendary.

You MUST know this about me, to know where, when and how I grew up: Born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. Brad Davis used to KILL the Sonics and Blazers! But, he's always been a class act. I JUST realized, he's kind of like Nate McMillan: Not a Star, but a solid role player for a championship caliber team. I was surprised that he never became a head coach, after being a Dallas assistant. Hearing that he remained with the team, did he get a ring in 2010-11? Btw, I was rooting SO hard for Dallas in 2005-06 (because I didn't want prick Gary Payton to get a ring), and 2010-11 (to defeat "Not one, not two, not three.."). Last night, I came SO close in shoot around to my goal of 5/5 Brad Davis 3-Pointers (made 4 three times, only to miss the fifth one). In 1996-98, I was a lifeguard at a pool. I had a girl student, last name Davis. Her younger brother's name? Brad!
