Dude is a washed up after his warrior years. I think a lot of folks still have no clue about this and dreaming his old self come back again; ain't happening

Were you also trying to take a shot at his play and misspell barren? Not spelling correctly undermines one attempt to take a shot at something?

When you type it wrong by mistake (finger slip), it is a typo. When you completely get the name wrong (First and last. Who do you know has a name Baren?), you have flawed memory. The later is proving to having more comedic value though.

Is Baren Davids a rec league player at a Jewish Y?

Has anyone seen him play? I've heard he's 50, with balding curly hair, has decent court vision and a low sperm count. On the plus side, Amare and him have bonded over discussing the Torah.

So who's the better warrior? If you put them all in a gladiator arena, which warrior survives?

Baren Davids? Barin Daviz? Bearon Daveds? Who wins the 3 way fight to the death?

This. I don't understand why people are putting Baron on the pedestal like he's still in his prime. You can tell people were fooling themselves when they wanted Baron to start over Lin during that bad stretch, well now they got what they wanted. I hope they're going to be happy with what they're seeing, it's karma coming back to y'all giving up on Lin before.

lol... is this the same poster who used to say "shumperts?" It's amazing what people will do just to troll. And after you were corrected for what was clearly NOT a mistake (nobody is stupid enough think his name is "Davids"), you come back and spell his name wrong again. Just stop posting...for good.

He can replace it if he stops shooting so much and throwing stupid passes.

Ngl, i read this thread at 3 in the morning and this seriously cracked me up. And the replies ain't helping things further.

Baren Davids. Good stuff.

Anywho, Baron has his positives, but his health might pose more negatives if he plays too much.

I think you're reading too much into this... Is Baren that different from Baron? People make mistakes like Alonso Morning, Kyrie Erving, etc etc. I meant to type Davis for the last name but look what key is beside S. Just a coincidence it turned so comical I guess

Before there was Jeremy Lin, this fan base dreamed of Baron Davis running our offense. As of right now, we're without Amar'e Stoudemire, but at least we have Baron Davis as our starting PG with a Knicks unit who's not only playing great defense under coach Woodson (memories of the early 90's) but also boarding strong off the glass. Jeremy Lin doesn't make or break this team/franchise, not when we have Baron, J.R Smith, Carmelo, Amar'e, Tyson Chandler, Shumpert, Fields, Novak, Jeffries and Harrellson to lead us deep into the playoffs. Yes, it would be great to add Jeremy Lin into the picture, but when Jeffries alone returns we'll improve in major ways on the defensive end of the court. Once Amar'e returns to action, we'll become a deeper team under coach Woodson. When you have an elite offensive talent, top 5 scorer and dominating wing player in Melo leading the offense... WIth a championship winning Center in Tyson Chandler leading the defense, a defensive beast at that, with a loaded roster full of talent? One 2nd year PG in Jeremy Lin isn't going to ruin the dreams of this team, all because he's currently hurt. Baron Davis has averaged 7.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 boards and 1.1 steals per game over the past 6 games. We've gone 4-2. Is he what he once was? No. Is he as elite as a much younger Jeremy Lin? No. But, it could be much worse. We could have Douglas and Bibby as our 1-2 punch. I'm thankful for Baron Davis.

To make a long story short, we don't need for Baron Davis to "replace Jeremy Lin", we need for Baron Davis to do what this fan base asked for before Jeremy Lin arrived on the scene, which is A.) Stay healthy and B.) Help this Knicks team (as our starting PG) move forward from here on out.
