Is Baron Davis retired....?

[Akrazotile]

Guy pretty much disappeared completely but I mever heard about an official retirement. Is he done for good? Anyone know?

Dude was a top 5 GOAT underachiever up there with the likes of sheed, bynum, and tmac.

[Collie]

Technically, he's an FA. But he might as well be retired since he hasn't played for 3 years.

[Lebron23]

He was never the same player after he got injured.

Sheed was not an underachiever. He was exactly who he was. A guy who was pretty good at a lot of things and an awesome teammate but wasn't good enough to be the best guy on your team. He was really smart and played good basketball he just wasn't goood enough to be a number one guy. He was a huge part of a championship team. No underachieving there.

Davis? Talented offensively and yes he was kinda lazy. Coming in to camp fat and just kinda lazy in general. In his best years he was really good but he got injured constantly. Could he have prevented those injuries had he been in better shape? Who knows. You can't list a bunch of guys who were injury prone and call them underachievers.

Davis was more of a playoff player than regular season. Knocked off TMac's Magic was an underdog (2002 or 03) and was the leader of the biggest upset in NBA history when his #8 Warriors beat #1 MVP Dirk-led Mavs in 2007.

I don't know if he was an underachiever because he never was a marquee player in the first place.

So now you show sympathy with players who had devastating injuries? :oldlol:

TMac and Sheed were not underachievers... Sheed was already covered, but TMac was nasty, and arguably the best player in the league until he got hurt.

[ralph_i_el]

He was hurt for the clippers so he got into being a media mogul. He's not playing ball anymore I guarantee it.

[jbryan1984]

He went down with one nasty injury. It was playoffs, against Heat. I believe his ankle just twisted right before the camera's eyes. He was smiling too, almost like he knew he could eat what he wanted now and be rich. :lol

Can follow his vigorous comeback right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8XbVhLYQiA

Sounds like BoomDizzle to me

[NustABut]

For a lot of these players, an aspect of the dream was to be able to eat whatever they wanted. A choice they didn't have as kids growing up.

[magic chiongson]

he's as retired as steve nash.

That wasn't always the case. While brief, there was a point during his time with the Hornets where he was playing MVP calibre ball. To no surprise, this was halted injuries.

None of these guys are underachiever. :facepalm

Underachiever are someone like Odom. He has all the potential in the world but never quite reached it. He was an enigma throughout his career.

Bynum downfall was he was injury prone. When he was healthy, he was doing good. He could have been great but that knee just can't hold up. He could stayed longer in the NBA if he had that work ethic but he will never reach his potential because of that injury.

I was talking about Sheed there not Davis. Go back and reread what I wrote.

My bad. In that case, I concur.

*thumbs up*

[L8krH8tr]

Sam him on NBA TV, dude looked so small!! like seriously crack binge hipster status. Would have to gain back all his beef to even be considered and im sure his knees are having none of that. Its over

[ImKobe]

dude blew his knee out badly against the Heat...at his age, he's done as an NBA player.

I wouldn't consider him an underachiever, but he was never in the right situation in his NBA career, simple as that.

Dude had some GOATworthy performance in 07 Playoffs, but he never did it again..didn't make the POs until he was past his prime and had a horrible injury... To be honest, I don't think many players at his age would even consider ever playing at a high level after that kind of an injury...Dude made mad bread so he's probably living off that and will do fine the rest of his life.
