‘Honored' Baron Davis jokes about being on free agent list

Former Warriors point guard Baron Davis hasn’t played in the NBA since the 2011-12 season, but he’s … still a free agent?

Guess so.

No, it doesn’t appear the 41-year-old is returning to the NBA, but when he realized he was still on a free agent list, he joked he’s honored to still be mentioned as an available option.

Davis spent four seasons with the Warriors, including during the legendary “We Believe” 2006-07 season where the team ended the franchise's long playoff drought and upset the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in the first-round.

But more than that, Davis and the "We Believe" Warriors captivated a region like few teams have.

Speaking of iconic …

Davis, who retired in 2016, also had a phenomenal dunk over Andrei Kirilenko on May 11, 2002 while the team played the Utah Jazz. It was the same season Davis would average 20.1 points per game -- the highest on the team.

It also was the last time, until the Steph Curry-Klay Thompson years, that the team would make it to the playoffs.

The Warriors still wear “We Believe”-inspired uniforms in honor of the team that still makes Golden State fans get the warm fuzzies.
