Ricky Davis: I wanted to form a two-gun team with James, but he just fed me the ball and didn’t attack.

November 15th: Recently, former NBA player Ricky Davis participated in the "OutTheMud" podcast and talked about his experience with the Cavaliers.

Talking about the Cavaliers' botched selection of James, he said: "I averaged 24 points per game that year, so it doesn't matter who is selected. Just bring him. We need help, we really need it. The whole world should understand that I am here to score alone and carry everything. So James and I may be very powerful together. Come on, help me carry it together, if he really has this ability. So I was looking forward to it at the time, but political factors made it so. When LeBron came that year, I was at my peak of scoring, and I didn't need any special tactics. I knew how to play the game myself. I figured it out in my third and fourth seasons. If you're still waiting for the coach to lay out tactics for you, there's something wrong. As soon as the ball comes to me, I'll get into it right away. So no matter who comes, it makes no difference to me. As long as the ball is passed to me, I can score - after the first quarter, I often score 12 to 15 points, and most of them are pull-up jumpers. "But the Cavaliers think this is not going to work. 'Because when the ball is passed to LeBron, he always passes the ball back." He could score occasionally, but I was on fire. As long as the ball came to me, I could score. So they realized they had to get rid of Ricky Davis. Because if I continued like this, they didn't know how we were going to develop that young guy into the best player in the world. You know, when you put so much into something and these young guys are coming up, you have to let them play."
