One of the side effects of the NBA lockout is hundreds of NBA players with hours of extra time on their hands. While most players are spending their time on obvious pursuits (exhibition basketball games and/or charity endeavours and/or travelling to Third World countries to hock shoes - BORRRRRRRING!!), some are taking advantage of this rare abundance of free time to pursue more exotic undertakings. In memory of the "What I Did On My Summer Vacation" essays we all got to write in school, The Hoops Manifesto honours these brave players with our "What I Did On My NBA Lockout" feature. Next up: Baron Davis
As most of the civilized world knows, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Nirvana's Nevermind, the album that marked the apex of the 'grunge' movement in popular music. And while the album is probably a little overrated (I prefer In Utero myself), you can't overstate it's importance and impact (both good and bad) on the music scene. So what does all this have to do with Baron Davis, you ask? Did you see him at the recent NBA Player Association press conference? Plaid shirt - check. Scruffy beard - check. Knit winter hat - check. As grunge as you can get.
