Ricky Davis is your consummate NBA journeyman. Over the course of his 11-year career, Davis has changed his jersey seven times.
Davis started out with Charlotte then went to Miami. It had to be like living in Paradise, parading down Collins Street and the beautiful and exotic women on South Beach in Miami, Florida.
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls. And oh how Ricky just loved the girls on South Beach. Its a wonder that he showed-up to play any basketball there during his career in paradise.
But as most people will start to understand, when a player has journeyman in his DNA, it really doesn't matter if he has access to some of the most beautiful girls in the world, because he just won't be able to sit still for any extended amount of time anyway.
So from the beautiful confines of South Beach and some of the hottest girls in the world, Pretty Ricky ("What they called him") chose to take his show on the road to Cleveland.
I guess in Cleveland, Ricky could then sport his fur coats and alligator shoes, which is something he just couldn't do in sunny South Beach.
But maybe that wasn't really it, because Davis left Cleveland, packed-up and moved to Boston.
After he left Boston, Ricky then went to Minnesota. I guess he chose Minneapolis because he could actually buy more even more mink fur coats (a different one for every day of the week) because rumor has it, that its even colder in Minnesota than it is in Boston.
I guess he got tired of the huge crowds at the Mall of America, so it was time to leave Minnesota and go back to South Beach, to undoubtedly rekindle some of the past flames that he enjoyed so much in Miami.
That didn't last long, and as we all know, because its never as good as the first time.
So the last time anyone saw Ricky Davis, he was in L.A. walking through the sand on Venice Beach, and playing for the Los Angeles Clippers in his spare time.
But since Blake Griffin arrived on the scene in Clipper land, no one has seen nor heard from Ricky Davis in quite some time.
As we all know by now, Los Angeles is rumored to be a really great place to visit. And that's all a journeyman like Ricky Davis will ever do. Just visit.
Damn Ricky, cool yo jets man!
In my special journeyman formula, Ricky Davis scores a 18.
