11. Baron Davis

Stats: 227 GP, 20.0 PPG, 8.1 APG, 2.0 SPG, 41.4 FG%

By the time Baron Davis was traded to the Warriors, he had already proven to be a special player. He had appeared in two All-Star games and was a member of the 2003-04 All-NBA Third Team.

However, when Davis joined the Warriors in the 2004-05 season, he reached his prime. He was one of the best playmakers in the league, putting up 20.0 points and 8.1 assists a night. While with the Warriors, Davis finished in the top-10 for assists per game twice. He also led the league in steals during the 2006-07 season.

This put Davis on pace to end his career as a pretty good Warrior. However, it was in the 2007 NBA Playoffs when Davis became a Golden State legend.

The Dubs were matched up with the 1-seeded Dallas Mavericks. They entered the series as massive underdogs. This didn’t stop Davis from leaving his mark on every game. He averaged 25.3 points, 6.5 assists and 2.9 steals a game. Davis’ miraculous performance vaulted the Warriors to a 4-2 series win, which went down as one of the biggest upsets in NBA history.
