Baron Davis Interview (HoopsHype.com) (7-25-04)
Quote:
Why did you come out to play in the Summer Pro League?
Baron Davis: It’s a great way to stay in shape, keep my timing and try new things. It’s a great league.
What do you think of the level of competition out here?
BD: It’s great competition. These guys can really play. A lot of people don’t understand how good these guys are or how competitive it is.
Why do you think that’s the case?
BD: A lot of these guys are playing to get a job somewhere. These games matter. There are coaches, GM’s, scouts everywhere. Even if you don’t end up in the NBA, you could be overseas, NBDL, anywhere.
Do guys play you harder out here because you play in the NBA?
BD: Yeah, I think so. They want to show what they can do, that they’re not intimidated and I’m not going to back down either. It gets a little rough sometimes. But it’s all good. There’s a lot of talking going on out there.
What’s different about the NBA game and the Summer Pro League?
BD: I would say that the intensity is higher here (Summer Pro League). These guys are hungry and need to eat. You might have more overall talent in the NBA, but this league is only two weeks and for many of them this is their only shot. Nothing is promised.
