All-Star appearances: 2002, 2004

The first thing that comes to our mind when we think of Baron Davis is his vicious dunk over Andrei Kirilenko in the 2007 Playoffs. He entered the league in 1999 at the age of 20 when he was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the third overall pick in the NBA draft.

However, his best playing days came with the New Orleans Hornets, a franchise he had been with for three years. In the 2003-04 season, Davis averaged 22.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.5 assists. He also led the league in steals with 2.4 steals per game. These are MVP-caliber numbers and just like you would expect, he was named to the All-Star team that year.

Nevertheless, Davis slowly started fading away and went on to play for multiple teams towards the end of his career but did not achieve the kind of success he did at New Orleans.
