NBA is a highly-watched sports league. It is not only the highest-level basketball hall, but also the most anticipated world of fame and fortune. In this league, the competition is very fierce and ordinary players may be eliminated at any time. James is the face of the league today. When he first entered the league, he played for Cavaliers . Looking back at the Cavaliers team in 2003, they are very weak. When Young Zhan first entered the league, Davis , which averaged 20 points per game, was the boss of the team. So why was he kicked out after only playing 22 games?
Speaking of this Ricky Davis , his personal abilities are actually good. He was the 1998 draft pick, and the Hornets selected him that year. After the Hornets honed for 2 seasons, Ricky Davis was traded to Heat . But soon after, Davis was sent to the Cavaliers again. When he first joined Cavaliers , Davis also served as the substitute. However, at the end of the season, the head coach allowed Davis to start 8 games, and he averaged 19 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and since then he counterattacked and became the starting point guard.
In the 2002-03 season, Ricky Davis became the core of the Cavaliers. He played in 79 games, averaged 40 minutes per game, and shot 18.6 times. He could hand in comprehensive data of 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and his shooting percentage reached 41%. Although the Cavaliers' record is not good, Ricky Davis performed well, and at the age of 23, he is also optimistic that he can achieve something in the league. The Cavaliers then selected James and built a team around James.
Young Zhan is an unparalleled genius player and is also the hope for the Cavaliers to rebuild. At the age of 18, James was already well-known throughout the United States. After entering the league as the No. 1 pick in , James also performed well. In his rookie year, he scored a comprehensive data average of 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 41.7%. Davis' performance fell that year, with only averaged 15.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 43%.
However, he is not optimistic about the young James. Ricky Davis believes that he is the future of the team and the core of the team building. Not only did he make things difficult for James many times, he also acted like a boss. In the end, the management couldn't stand it anymore and played only 22 games, then traded Davis away. After being traded to , Celtics , Davis also left a famous saying, saying: "I thought the team chose James to assist me." This sentence also made him a laughing stock in the NBA.
After leaving the Cavaliers, Ricky Davis' performance became more and more mediocre. He was eliminated by the NBA at the peak of 30 years old, which is a pity. If he had recognized his position back then, he would have taken the initiative to be a second-in-command since James entered the league. With the Cavaliers' lineup at that time and James' passing ability, Davis's career may be more successful.
