Before the season, it seemed fitting that Baron Davis chose to don No. 1 for the Los Angeles Clippers, as the fate of the franchise has fallen on his shoulders.

This literally made me jump off the couch. And we all know how hard that is to accomplish on Sundays.

It’s crazy to think that it was almost a year ago we were getting geared up for the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the new basketball movie “Ball Don’t Lie.” Now MTV has gives us a look into the film with the movie’s first teaser trailer. Check it out…
