Was BARON DAVIS As Expected? Or Was He A Disappointment? Stunted Growth

- But I do understand why so many people consider him to have had Growth Stunts in his career. Since high school he's been one of the top players in the country, but also since high school, he's been dealing with injuries that always kept him around 85% of his full potential. He still manage to become the top point guard prospect leaving high school. He chose UCLA over Kansas Georgia Tech and Duke. He had the unique combination of strength, size, speed athleticism and leadership qualities that made him the #3 overall pick even after suffering a torn ACL as a freshman. His NBA career didn't begin the way a 3rd pick should've, but by his second season he started to hone his skills and made the all star game by year 3. Also by then, his injuries started to pile up and become a regular storyline in his career, that never really stopped. Hip to ankle to knee, back, and more. But other than that he's had an admirable career that ended too soon. Here's why I don't think Baron Davis was a Bust. Stunted Growth.

Loved His Game! They don't make em like Baron Davis anymore. Size, athleticism, toughness, leadership, were all present. Shaped a lot of hoopers that followed him. 🙌
Keaton Grant Purdue University four year stater you haven’t got round to him yet
I always saw him as an athletic Chauncey Billups...love B.Diddy haha
REMIND THE PPL. HE WAS THE FIRST D.ROSE, R. WESTBROOK. THIS IS GOAT STUFF RIGHT HERE
Dwayne Wade took his soul he wasn’t right after that
Carlos Arroyo.
ive never heard anyone call him a bust lmao
Not a BUST. STUNTED GROWTH. JUST THINK OF WHAT COULD OF BEEN. THATS. IT MORE OR LESS
@@jimmyjones8664 what else could he have been honestly? His career was fine and honestly you can't do anything about the injuries, just the curse of being human.
Im hip
Ong lmaoooo
RajOfColumbus it’s not the curse of being human. Humans aren’t supposed to be hurt
I’ve never picture Baron Davis as a bust, he was great on the court 🔥
no one has
Him and Steve Francis was my guys at the time but once d wade came them two kinda faded
I agree
Facts....its crazy hes even considered for this list smh....but glad some more info aboit baron is out there cause he was straight 🔥
I agree. He could never stay healthy but when healthy 💣💥 he was on fire
Even with him tearing his ACL in college and playing his entire career on 1.5 legs; BDiddy was a PROBLEM!!!
BD had a HOF skill set and athleticism. Him and Gilbert are on my all-underrated team.
I loved watching Baron Davis play... exciting and spectacular player. He could pass, shoot, dunk... the whole package
He was the total package
That ACL tear from that dunk in college. Unreal..he would be 27 plus ppg in this era.. conditioning was always a concern for me. Appreciate this one
True when u Powerful built and stocky that is a lot of maintenance all year around and he had a high motor for his frame
I agree I think if he had a stronger core and worked more on the smaller stabilizing muscles he would have been healthier.
@@peerlessbeard8914 he did alot of combo handle moves along with acrobatic finishes on a bad wheel(bum knee) throughout his career when healthy he was like Tyson bobbing&weaving thru defenders looking like a mvp candidate.
@@peerlessbeard8914 true
@@peerlessbeard8914naw
Fully agree that Baron wasn't a bust.
Baron was a SAVAGE on the court, he just didn't have a good solid talented team to help him capture a NBA Championship ring.
Dude was literally never healthy. If he were they would have been able to build around him in Golden State.
The baron dunking on ak47 was awesome sauce
A bust wtf I never heard a person say that 🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️ BD
He was the man on nba live back in the day he was dunking on everyone on live
He was dunking on everybody in the NBA too
Baron Davis athleticism is up there with Steve Francis Derrick Rose Russell Westbrook. He had handles and hops like them.
His shot and defense was better than them he was a better leader than them he didn't have the help tho
And Kevin Johnson is their ancestor.
@@highlightboy23 YESSS YOU ARE RIGHT!!! KJ IS MY BOY!!! HUGE FAN OF HIS!!!
@@nmbmemphisbeast3690 For Steve Francis this is true but Rose and Russ are both MVPs and HoFers.
@@Byronic19134 bdiddy was a better player than westbrook imo, more skilled, more intelligent, better understanding and bball iq. Westbrook is just a freak of nature that got free reign of the ball, his skills and iq are subpar as can be seen now that hes lost some athleticism
Do Shawn Livingston that injury crippled his growth. He could have been more than a role player with the Warriors dynasty.
Facts
True but at least he was a main contributor to getting a few of them rings
Real talk he was a key piece…credit much deserved being able to adjust his game to his new restrictions athletic wise dude was a high flyer…and then became a solid shooter and defender. His presence and game is much missed . Warriors still tryna find his replacement.
Another childhood favorite. Looking at these highlights I’m seeing a guy with blends of rose and kyrie.
Steve Francis*
Baron Davis will forever be a legend
Baron had HOF talent but injuries derailed him going into the hall. He was one of my favorite guards, if only he’d been healthy his whole career
I still think he a HOF of Tracy McGrady is!!!
@@jonjonbailey4314 tmac had one of the top 10 season by any player ever tho in 2003 in one of the thoughest eras of basketball because of the heavy defense and slow pace. And before injuries was 2nd in playoff ppg behind jordan even tho he didnt have much success. And bdiddy had honestly better teams than tmac at hornets and at gsw. Outside 2009 when tmac was pretty much done and yao ming was overrated as shit. In their playoffs together yao ming only averaged around 1 more rebound than tmac. Tmac is 6'9 at best and on the perimiter most of the time, yao should outrebound him especially in the playoffs. Either way i love both bdiddy and mac, but tmac is my boi, wasnt sure tmac would get into the HOF myself but the nba legends though he deserved it and thats enough for me.
This man was most definitely one of my favorites to watch play. Growth was definitely stunted by his injuries but his game itself was never a problem. Also, you reminded me of how under appreciated he is as one of the most athletic point guards of all time. The man was a beast after an acl injury with late 90s medical practices. 😳
I recommend Christian laettner as the next stunted growth participant because he was very talented basketball player .
Baron Davis was a beast 💪back in the early 2000
My man still got G. His recent Drew League mixtape is Tuff
Baron Davis had a great career and is still remembered and loved by the cats like myself who grew up watching him
Baron Davis was Far From a Bust. like You stated those injuries held him back reminiscing on the Games I seen him and play and his various highlights still gives me the Chills when I watch them B Diddy was a problem on that Court he could do it all in spite of not being 100 percent healthy. salute to Baron Davis
Baron Davis Bruh One of A Kind Point Guard In NBA History
My favorite point guard ever! Even as Duke fan. I use watch that UCLA team. Baron, Jaron Rush, Earl Watson, Jason Kapono. BARON DAVIS WAS TRUELY forerunner for Drose and Russell Westbrooks
Him and Stevie franchise
Derek Anderson
One of the best guards of All-Time with the injuries and all to me. 👑🔥🏀💪🏾🔊📢💨
The crossover dunks against Duke and Michigan made me a fan, loved them UCLA squads
B.Diddy one of my favorite Point Gods 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Had size, athleticism, speed, strength, could shoot, and was an incredible passer and perimeter defender. No one seems to mention his handle, had a top 3 handle in his prime (maybe top 1). His handle with his off hand (left) was unstoppable. Would be one of the greats if not for injuries. Also I've seen many interview with him and he just seemed like a real down to earth, humble, and happy person. Definitely a teammate you'd want to have and run your team!
He had a pretty solid career, in my opinion. He was definitely nice.
Id like to see william buford from my hometown Toledo,ohio... dude was mr basketball.. was a McDonald's all american..in the jordan brand classic..had a solid start at ohio state was clearly the best player behind evan turner the year he was a top pick .. 🙏🙌
Keeping with the point guards theme, I still would like to see a Chris Childs or Charlie Ward video. A Heisman QB, the other an amateur boxer. 2 Knicks icons
He was a beast (especially in Charlotte) & had hops. Can you do VIN BAKER or GLENN ROBINSON (if you haven’t done yet). Keep coming with these dimes💯🔥🙅🏾♂️
First off a 80% BD was better than 90% of the league...I really wish I could’ve seen more of BD and D. Rose at 100% I really think the league would’ve been different...Salute those boys 🙌🏾‼️
This is ridiculous B Diddy was a NBA superstar 😂😂😂😂😂🏀💦
I've never heard anyone call him B Diddy
@@stevenjames7645 Everyone called him that
I am a UCLA fan so this caught my attention.
Never got to go to Beach Ball Classic as a SC native but always heard about the number epic games played there
Looking forward to finding out what stunted Muggsy Bogues' growth.
Taking into consideration all his injuries,.. he is a true legend and fighter!!!
I never in my lifetime I seen Baron Davis as a bust I've always knew he was mad nice since I was a little youngin watching him.
He was monster on the court. I couldn’t imagine what he would do in this age of basketball he be straight shitting on people.
Do Alex Len. He should’ve been doing what Ayton is doing rn.
What DeAndre Ayton doing?
Jerry823Coates putting up double doubles these last two years.
So you saying he should’ve been mediocre
Darryl I’m saying that Alex could’ve averaged 18 and 11. Yeah Deandre isn’t Luka or Trae, but he’s not a scrub.
Alex Len didn't have Cp3
Without a doubt a legend as you said. Was waiting for you to do one of Baron Davis. Awesome video!
Absolutely one of my favorite guards of all time, top 5 in my book!
Prime Baron Davis summed up in one word..... Explosive
fantastic analys bro. Love your vids.
BD is not a bust im from new Orleans so i remember him playing for us..i know he could have been a great tho..i can see why people requested the video for a break down on why he not a great...but FAR from a bust
Very humble a low key I felt at 18 had a mature toughness to him and confidence was no words just him dribbling strange 🤔but he was so damn special
@Stunted Growth - Can you please do a stunted growth video on Desmond Mason? A lottery pick who seemingly had all the right tools to be a perennial all star. He was also explosive and athletic. Keep up the great content. Thanks.
Great one as usual. ✊🏿
One of my favorite players and who I patterned my game after.
Baron was my favorite player of that generation, but dude didn’t take care of himself. Injuries don’t happen that often by accident.
Dude didn’t train properly, nor watch his diet. I worked for the warriors in 2006-2007 and dude was always overweight. Knees and back are highly affected by too much weight.
BD was a beast tho. Keeping his weight in check and having a more consistent J he would be HOF fasho.
He was never out of shape on the court. He’s mentioned it plenty of times, he has a body type that gains weight easily so in the off season, his body type will gain weight with no activity. That’s just genetics. How the hell do you never take care of your body yet always come back from knee injuries to be as explosive as he was? You can’t be that fast and that explosive and be out of shape. He was in shape in the big 3 yet he’s always out of shape. So I’m guessing since back and knees are affected by weight that he tore his ACL at UCLA because he was out of shape? Make it make sense?
I like how you Challenge the Culture of Basketball but Also Compliments it! It's a unique aspect on the GAME!!
starting the video on that footage of him on a stretcher was weird. and I never heard anybody call BD a bust. seriously people calling him a bust should just stop listening to the hype from the media calling every other high school player the next Jordan and nobody will ever need to explain why Baron Davis was no bust...
Great video stunted growth I love the content keep up the good work.
Idk how I missed the injuries before he hit the NBA. Even with those he was STILL bouncing?? Crazy
Thumbs up as usual! Baron was the real deal & explosive with all around skills as a PG. Injuries was his major downfall, I also think trades undermined his progress too as it seemed to me that as he started to gel with the team, he got moved...
Let me tell you something right now. These thumbnails are fire my guy! I think it started with the Larry Hughes vid. Keep up the awesome work!
I loved this dude game!!! This was and still is my guy!!!! He went that far with terrible knees. Let that sink in. He did things will the ball PG's only dream of doing.
Nice Video bro 🔥🔥 we support you here in the Philippines 🇵🇭
One of the coldest players EVER!!!!! His facials are legendary...
He was a beast despite the injuries
I remember watching the UCLA game when he hurt his knee. It was a lockout year and college ball had to do for me. He never really recovered from it. Even so, he still performed at an elite level.
There are people who consider Baron Davis a bust?
My favorite player. I would love to meet him. I wore #5 in highschool
He is my all time favorite PG. loved every part of his game. Anybody that says he’s a bust doesn’t know basketball. Thank you for this video!
Also Sherell Ford and Donny Boyce teammates of Michael Finley at Poviso East High School in late 80's early 90's
Him and Francis are my favorite NBA point guards
Peace and prosperity family and everyone. Baron Davis was so explosive and I definitely enjoyed watching him. Perry Jones is someone I would love for you to breakdown
Baron was never a bust. I remember him back in high school playing full games in ankle weights like we all did back in those days. I believe that stuff like that really takes its toll in the long run. BD is still one of the best point guards I've seen with my own eyes!
Yea we did that too. We were so misled man. Just out there trying shit. That probably did have a huge impact on his injuries. It's just not natural
Them ankle weights man. What were we thinking back then? I remember a kid effed his leg right on up because he played while wearing them .
OMG!!! Even though he dealt with injuries dude posterized several good or great shot blockers. Very impressive he performed as well as he did over the course of his career.
Stunted Growth, you gotta do a future video on Andrei Kirilenko. Probably the best non big man shot blocker and for a few years was the man in Utah. Then Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer and gang come through and his role on the team changed.
BD was my guy. I like the approach of this video. Too many times you’ve thrown out the HOF for average players but he had great talent and ability
Baron Davis was just nasty. One of my favorite plays I’ve ever seen anyone make is when while still in college, he had a 2 on 1 fast break and faked a behind the back pass and wrapped it back to himself and dunked it. I’ll never forget it.
Great vid. Thing about BD is he had such a classic style. He would be highly played in 2K and that's a compliment in itself. I used to love the old BD hornetts jersey that my cousin wore. I wish I had one back then.
One of my favorite point guards. Was really as close as a complete guard to get forgotten about
The only bust I remember is his busting Kirilenko into a million pieces with the greatest dunk of all time.
Back to back JC got my old Hughes and Baron Davis 2004 NBA Live back court ,on a roll. Baron Davis was like a modern day Acrobatic Earl the Pearl and James Harden before harden. He was relentless and took it to all the Greats ,injuries inhibited him from being a HOF candidate IMO.
Man who tf said he was a bust he one of my favorite point guards
As a warrior fan hella mad they didn’t keep the we believe team together….the western conference always been super tough back then it was that much tougher the following season after taking down Dallas warriors barely missed the playoff despite going 48-34…. Daaam it when they broke it up talking about rebuild….but it’s good warriors finally came through… Barron a solid dude and was a straight baller!!!
Just imagine if Kobe stayed in Charlotte Kobe &. Baron 🥶🥶🥶
I forgot how athletic Baron was, i remember watching him at the 1996 ABCD camp in Jersey, against some real good competition..Lamar Odom, Elton Brand, Tony Lee, Anthony Perry Ron Artest......He was doing his thang!!
@Stunted Growth how about 1 on Danny Fortson or Alonzo Jamison.. or Robert Traylor.. All somewhat similar type players but with very different career arcs.. just a thought.. btw, great video as always
One of the best handles EVER!!
You need to stop, who the hell ever called Baron Davis a bust? Lmao
Growing up in the Bay Area, Davis was one of my favorite players. UCLA and Warriors star, and one of the best dunks on a nba player "EVER "
Baron Davis loved Ball despite his injury history. Dude was amazing at 85 percent!
Much Appreciation
His Reebok boom dizzles were fire too. BD was a problem
He was streaky from 3 but he could've been more consistent. He was sick and that we believe series was legendary, not to mention that jam over AK 47
Shawn Kemp and Larry Johnson (before the injury) were close in the strength and athleticism and speed department.
Great anaology. Out of the three, Shawn Kemp of course was the most promising. I think Larry Johnson was built more like a football linebacker than a basketball player. I think the jumping took a toll on his muscular frame. I think Baron Davis' game was too powerful at times for his body to hold up. But I always enjoyed how Baron would explode to the basket.
My fave PG growing up
Baron Davis succeeded in the NBA despite injuries that would've prevented many hoopers from even trying. He's not a bust at all, Davis is a testament to amazing natural talent and determination. A hoops Warrior!
BARON DAVIS WASN'T ANYONE'S BUST. HE WAS NICE ALL THROUGH HIS CAREER, MORE SO BEFORE THE INJURIES. BTW GOT ANOTHER REQUEST FROM THE CRATES... RODNEY MONROE FROM NC STATE. ONE OF THE BEST TWO GUARDS IN ACC HISTORY.
I got two more you should do a stunted growth on....Michael Redd Ohio state and his back court mate Scoonie Penn. I think they were the top backcourt in the big 10 and country in 1999 College basketball year
Baron Davis was one of my favorite players to watch in the 2000s.
JC...I can feed you all day on stunted growth bios. Khalid Reeves -Arizona Wildcats, Hassan Adams- Arizona Wildcats, Lamond Murray- CaL Bears, Cuonzo Martin - Purdue Boilermakers backcourt mate with Glenn Robinson, Stacey Augmon- UNLV, Andrae Patterson - Indiana, Calbery Cheney - Indiana , Damon Bailey - Indiana, Aaron Mckie - Temple, Malik Sealey RIP - St. Johns. Not sure if you got this up yet but if not here you go...salute
Oooh he caught KG with one and I will NEVER forget that nasty dunk over AK47
Baron Davis was never a bust he was a great point guard who could give you 20 points and 10 assists was a 2x nba all star .
I don't think anyone would ever call Baron a bust
Baron would've gone down in the Pantheon of great guards had it not been for injury...I place him with Kevin Johnson, Deron Williams, Starbury...guys who were very good, but never great..
Love how you smoothly turned this to a scouting report scam😂love this channel 🤣
