'E.T.' and 'Star Wars' were cult movies then and opened up a brand new world of adventure and mystery. But as much as I would have loved to be friends with E.T., I realized that following in the footsteps of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan was more realistic.

Breakfast would be, like, egg whites with tomatoes, turkey sausage and feta cheese. Then for lunch I'd have salmon and spinach or something like that.
Quote by -Baron Davis
I think basketball becomes an outlet for it, an opportunity to get that frustration out and forget about all the problems and things you have going on in your life outside.

Quote by -Baron Davis
One thing I am is a leader and if I'm not allowed to lead, then I have to follow. So then I want to be the best follower that I can.

I want people to come to Clipper games and smile. I want people to come to Clipper games and be entertained and dance and laugh.
Quote by -Baron Davis
My grandfather built a basketball court for me when I was 3 years old as a Christmas present, and I would go back there every day all day and just play basketball.
Quote by -Baron Davis
I feel like basketball is my outlet. Basketball is an opportunity for me to get all my emotions out.
Quote by -Baron Davis
I can probably go down in history as the best backup point guard ever in NBA history.
Quote by -Baron Davis
In street ball, you really don't care about playing defense, unless it's some kind of flashy steal or a big block where you bat the ball across the court, but all you're really worried about is scoring.
Quote by -Baron Davis
I've played at Rucker Park a couple of times. It's cold blooded. It's hype in there, real hype.
Quote by -Baron Davis
Street basketball is all about shakes and fakes, crossing your defender up. The NBA is more strategic.
Quote by -Baron Davis
I played a lot at the school across the street from my house. That's how I started, really. Playing street basketball and challenging the guys out on the court who were older than me.
Quote by -Baron Davis
Nothing will ever outshine, for me, the countless children whose eyes and imaginations I've seen light up when meeting Black Santa and understanding that there's a character of pure good out there that represents them.
Quote by -Baron Davis
For me, basketball was the way I was able to hone my leadership skills during the heat of competition.

Quote by -Baron Davis
There was a gap in minority heroes in animation, books, and storytelling for me as a kid, and being a father now, I felt the responsibility I had to the next generation to create stories that allow us to wish and dream and build worlds that inspire young people who haven't traditionally had these heroes to look up to.

A 'wedgie' is exactly what you think it is. It's the ball getting stuck between the basket and the backboard.
Quote by -Baron Davis
So, a flop is basically tricking the referee into thinking somebody fouled you or maybe elbowed you in the face.
Quote by -Baron Davis
Usually guys like Chris Paul, Lebron James, they will steal the ball from you. Stay away from those guys.
Quote by -Baron Davis
Wiggle is kinda like a word that I feel like I coined. It's being able to maneuver in and out, around defenders with the basketball.
Quote by -Baron Davis
When I was growing up we didn't have cable. All that came on Saturday morning was Notre Dame football, and I was there every time to watch it.
Quote by -Baron Davis
Paul Feig has an incredible style that represents who he is. He wears a suit to work every day.
Quote by -Baron Davis
When you're 20 and going to the draft, everybody is telling you what you should wear. I kind of succumbed to peer pressure on that one.
Quote by -Baron Davis
A lot of times getting double- or triple-teamed, like triangle-and-two, it just made me be more of an all-around player.
Quote by -Baron Davis
My grandmother knew nothing about sports. She still didn't even when I went to the NBA. She never really cared too much about sports. She only cared about me being a good person.
Quote by -Baron Davis
I always had my basketball. So when I showed up at the playground, everybody knew what I wanted to do.
Quote by -Baron Davis
Where I'm from, you don't really travel outside your neighborhood unless you're traveling with a bunch of people.
