When it comes to Ricky Davis, many people may not have an impression, but when it comes to his classic quote, many people may have an impression again. Back in the 2002-2003 season, Ricky Davis, who played for the Cavaliers at the time, had the highlight of his career, playing in 79 games for the Cavaliers that season, averaging 39 per gameIn seven minutes of playing time, Ricky Davis was able to score 206 points 49 rebounds 55 assists 16 steals 05 blocks, became the well-deserved team boss of that Cavaliers, Ricky Davis was only 23 years old at this time, and originally thought that he would usher in a continuous highlight performance in the Cavaliers, but this season is also the only season in Ricky Davis' career that the average points per game exceeded 20+.
Although Ricky Davis played the best season of his career, the Cavaliers he led became a bullying team, and the Cavaliers only had a 17-65 record that season, ranking at the bottom of the league, which also allowed them to successfully get the 2003 No. 1 pick, and use this No. 1 pick to win the pride of the sky James. Just after the Cavaliers got James, Ricky Davis still disagreed, thinking that he was still the boss and future of this Cavaliers. Just 22 games later, the Cavaliers traded Ricky Davis to the Celtics, reinforcing James as the centerpiece of the team. And after being traded, Ricky Davis even said the classic quote "I thought James was here to assist me".
For the Cavaliers, trading Ricky Davis to correct James was a very correct decision, although Ricky Davis got beautiful statistics at the time, but his data was extremely watery, and only 41% shooting, slightly inefficient. To put it bluntly, without Ricky Davis's leadership, there would be no Cavaliers' No. 1 pick that year, and he was an important contributor to the Cavaliers' acquisition of James. But against James and Ricky Davis, it will undoubtedly be a very easy choice. After James joined the Cavaliers, Ricky Davis's stats quickly shrank to 15 per game3 points 55 rebounds and 5 assists, and James can maintain the level of 20+5+5, obviously James will be a better choice!
After being traded to the Celtics, Ricky Davis completely shattered his dream of becoming a big man and returned to the bench, but he can still contribute an average of 141 point 42 rebounds performance, and after coming to the Celtics, Davis also touched the floor of the playoffs. Over the next two and a half seasons, Ricky Davis played consistently and returned to the starting line-up as the team's No. 3 scorer, but he was still abandoned by the Celtics and eventually left for the Timberwolves.
At this time, the Timberwolves are already famous in the league, and their record can only rank second to last in the West, while Davis, who has returned to the weak team, still has undiminished firepower and can contribute an average of 19 per game1 point, is the team's second-leading scorer after Garnett. In the following season, Ricky Davis still averaged 17 points per game9 rebounds 4Eight assists, but the Timberwolves are only in the bottom three of the West, which also makes the team's management determined to rebuild, sending Garnett to the Celtics, and Ricky Davis to the Heat. After the Heat delivered the last season of his career with a double-double per game, Davis was sent to the Clippers again, and after two frustrating seasons with the Clippers, Ricky Davis faded out of the league. At this point, the first big brother of James' career disappeared from the league!
James, on the other hand, has become an epoch-making superstar in history! February** Dynamic Incentive Program
