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

Recently, former NBA player Ricky Davis participated in the "Out The Mud" 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 to me who is selected, just bring him. We need helpers, we really do. The whole world should understand that I am alone here. Score and carry everything. So me and James might be great together. Come on, help me carry it together, if he really has the ability. So I was looking forward to it, but political factors made it a mess when LeBron came. In my peak scoring period, I don’t need any special tactics, I know how to play the game by 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, I’ll get into it immediately. That’s my mentality. So it doesn’t matter who comes, I can score. —— After the first quarter, when I looked at the score, it was usually 12 to 15 points, and most of them were pull-up jumpers. "But the Cavaliers felt that this was not going to work. They were thinking, 'How will they let LeBron score? ' Because as a rookie, he always assisted and passed the ball. He could score occasionally, but I felt hot at the time. As long as the ball comes to me, I can score. So they realize, they have to find a way to get rid of Ricky Davis, because if I continue to do this, they don't know how we can develop that young guy to be the best player in the world. You know, when you invest so much in something and these young guys are coming up, you have to let them play."
