Ricky Davis: He thought LeBron James would be HIS SIDEKICK! The Career of Ricky Buckets | FPP

- He’s infamously known for his shot at his own basket in an attempt to get a triple double; he would routinely bust out 360 and between the legs dunks in games, and he never met a shot he didn’t like. Scoop Jackson compared him to Isaiah Rider, and like JR Rider, Ricky Davis had all the tools to be a great NBA player, but struggled with selfishness and immaturity early in his career. He played one year for the Iowa Hawkeyes before surprisingly declaring for the 1998 NBA draft, and even though few people around him felt he was ready, the Charlotte Hornets still made him a first round pick. He would barely see the floor and clash with Paul Silas during his first couple years, then would have an injury filled season with the Miami Heat. But he would break out as a Cleveland Cavalier in the early 2000s, playing alongside guys like Andre Miller, Darius Miles, Dajuan Wagner and Carlos Boozer. Ricky Davis was the man in Cleveland, until they drafted LeBron James, and he wasn’t willing to take a backseat, so his time there was over quickly. He would spend the next 4 seasons, gradually learning to accept a lesser role as a sixth man and complimentary scorer with the Boston Celtics alongside Paul Pierce. Then he would have a a brief but solid stretch with the Kevin Garnett led Minnesota Timberwolves. After this, he would play one decent season in Miami, filling in for an injured Dwyane Wade; but by 2010, he was out of the league, after a 12 year career. Ricky Davis could fly, and participated in the 2000 and 2004 Dunk Contests, he could turn games into dunk contests or explode for 40 points on any given night, but he didn’t care how many shots he was taking or how bad the shots were, and that’s why found himself bouncing around so many teams. But whether you loved him or hated him, Ricky Davis was one of the most exciting players of his generation.

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
Their attitude to be the man is what got him to the NBA. Pretty impossible to abandon that mindset as a young man.
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.
If you make it to the league you're not a failure.
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
Would love to see Dajuan Wagner feature soon
Bobby Phills was mad underrated
Ricky Davis was fun to watch. Nothing but love for him. Such a happy player. Good vibes from him.
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.
The JR Smith of the 00's
JR is the JR of the 2000s
Nailed it!!
@@AmarukahnRight 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.
@@Amarukahnlol right jr came in the league like 03
The sports research champ is back!!!!!!
An unadulterated beast in the research game. I say this all the time. Props to Forgoten Player Profiles!
The fact that he went Eastbay down 20 is wild 😂😂😂😂 (clip time 27 second mark)
This was extremely well done (e.g., editing, narration) and gave a *RARE* positive slant on Davis’ career.
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
Stunted Growth just did a video on him
Jus watched it
my fav role player of 2000s!!!thank you !!!! next can be Josh Smith or Elton Brand!
As the video went on... All I want to say is. This guy was playing mostly every game every season. Big ups. 🏀
Nice video on Ricky Davis. You should do one on Antoine Walker and Bobby Jackson.
He was a wild player when he was young, but none the less he was one of my favorite players to watch
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
Kevin Martin
Kings Legend.
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
@@BrandonGavin_EDCI'm confused, LeBron wasn't in Live 99 lol
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.
Your SG scoring is more important considering the Center is for defense and rebounding. If your best defender is the SG team in trouble.
@@damianpresha9833with a minor exception of the nuggets 😂
@@damianpresha9833 not at all
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
Love the videos bro, keep dropping them
ricky davis was jr smith b4 jr smith
Accurate.
indeed😊
Buggin jr would never do some of the shit ricky did lol
Carlos boozer
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.
I notice every time he get better and gets comfortable they ship him out nd mess up his flow and confidence
Your videos go hard bro!
Thank you 😊
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.
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.
Ultra talented? That's a bit of a stretch
No a stretch he had all the skills and athletism mentality was his problem@@IllMatic97
@@IllMatic97lol😅
@@IllMatic97that’s talented wtf you talking about. Like you?
@@billblaski9523these mf’s smoke crack I swear anymore the future is doomed
I jus watched a vid on stunted growth channel about him 😂 but you getting there my boy love your content
He was J.R. Smith before J.R. Smith 😂😂
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
Do jamal crawford, penny, Alan Houston Or Jameer Nelson
Ricky Davis was fun to watch
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
I first saw Ricky Davis on the And1 Mixtape Tour Vol. 7. Man could jump out the building! Such an entertaining player. Hope he saved his money 😁
I remember this dude. He was a trip
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
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😂😂
Horace Grant
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.
He had a solid career…
Davis was amazing on NBA live. He is just another in a long line of talents who didn’t have the right mentality.
Dude was a bucket!!!
One of the most ridiculous players of all time along with Rafer.
If you were a baller in high school around 01-03, Ricky Davis was that dude
LeBron already knew better after 1 season.
The teenager already had more sense than Davis .
Looks like you watched "Stunted Growth" too, huh?
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.
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
From Las Vegas to Iowa? Christ.
Lol, dude had a long NBA career, and they talking about him like he chopped liver, dude lived the dream.
Very athletic but very very selfish as well. At least he wasn't scared to shoot.
how come i was today years old haring the nickname "wrong rim ricky" omfg
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.
A VERY FUN AND NICE GUY RICKY DAVIS!!!! HUMBLE CAT THEY. TRIPPIN
I am surprised you forgot to mention that he is a part of famous hip hop duo Outkast 😂
The Wally S trade has a favorable effect: he was used as the expiring contract for the Ray Allen trade
Offensively he was a dawg, I swear stunted growth just did something just like this but you're a little bit better
It was soppuse to be wagner , davis, labron , miles, and big z , insane how much talent can be wasted
Davis was a solid 20 point player
He had all the tools except brains. Smh. Imagine if he humbled himself with lebron. Smh.
Good job I have almost forgot about Ricky, I think you only missed the amount of each contract
Davis was a lower BBIQ guy with a lot of athletic potential.
Do J-Rich…Jason Richardson
You gotta love wrong rim Ricky even if he's delusional he's very fun to watch especially on the cavs and wolves
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
You didnt think WHO was ready LMFAO Ricky that young man was ready in HS. RD pride was hurt but this is basketball and Ball dont lie
Stunted growth literally just did this story
22:10 Maine Red Claws (now Maine Celtics).
Hey can you do one on Steve Francis
I always liked Davis because he played with And 1 real quick.
He didn’t think Lebron was his sidekick. If he did then that triple double makes sense now.
Ricky Davis was from Iowa?🙃🤪
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.
Look like Wesley Matthews’s😂😂
The original JR Smith
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.🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
LBJ killed more careers than Tha Crossroads video
Ricky Davis
In my Gucci mane voice .. who o you mean who?😂
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
Ricky 3000 😅
All these players be good in highschool and college but once they turn pro they have to changed their game up to fit a role
Bricky Davis (Ricky Davis)
Huh, I forgot about this guy…
Member when R.D. wanted a DoubleDouble so bad he bounced the ball of his own rim for the last board? I member.
Idc what anyone says his athleticism was FILTHY
And he had a huge piece of meat between his legs 🤤
Ricky Davis is your typical nba player attitude wise.
Imagine being in the locker room with overconfident Ricky and Lebron running around as King James but scared sh!tless in big moments
Huh?😂😂difference is lebron was actually amazing and has been since the moment he came into the nba. Ricky Davis was not
He seemed like some hip hop plant. He was pre-post-retro post post. Im not sure any of your player profiles are forgotten.
My thing is nba players tried to trash lebron and curry and those players were there teammates .. curry and bron excelled far greater than those “haters”😂 4 rings
When they said wat they said he didn't have those rings so how is it hating ppl can't even give there honest opinion ppl screaming hating all he did was prove them wrong it wasn't hate he had to prove it
One more thing. Did the high school kid change the team or the game? 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why do they always rigged spots for different players 😢😢😢 that be ruining people careers 😢😢😢
LBJ becomes the goat in my eyes if he invite this dude to the HoF ceremony
14:05 He missed this dunk on purpose so Kobe could get a better look 😂
That cavs team had to much talent. To bad, they had egos that caused them to hate in Bron smh
AARON MCKIE‼️‼️
