Baron Davis was recently on the Games with Names podcast with Julian Edelman. The conversation started with John Wooden and the tattoo era of basketball. UCLA Bruins basketball was discussed from years ago until the recent seasons.
The conversation later went on to Bill Walton needing a haircut and then went on to the Bruins basketball staff forcing him to shave his face before every game.
Davis, now 45 years old played two seasons at UCLA. He scored 13.6 points per game and dished out 5.1 assists. He injured his ACL during his freshman season after a dunk.
He then went on to be the third overall pick in the 1999 draft by the Charlotte Hornets. Davis remained in the NBA from 1999 through the 2012 season. He finished his basketball career with the Delaware 87ers in 2016.
Davis was a 2 time NBA All-Star. The clip of the podcast can be seen here:
