Highlights From Baron Davis And Tina Thompson’s Charity Game [Video]

As one of the last charity exhibition games of an extended NBA offseason. Baron Davis and Tina Thompson’s charity event featured players that all grew up in and around the City of Angels. Participants included; DeMar DeRozan, Matt Barnes (the announcer introduced Matt as the “newly single” Matt Barnes… that was weird), James Harden, Nick Young, Craig Smith, Trevor Ariza, Amir Johnson and more.

Check out a few highlights:

 

Baron said the reason he and Tina decided to put together this game was a way to thank their LA family (not fans) that supported all the participants through their basketball journey in L.A.

BD also addressed the rumors that he might be a victim of the amnesty clause”I know my name has come up with the amnesty thing, and a lot of people have said I’m going this place or I’m going that place. My whole thing is to be ready for the season to help any team that I’m on. I welcome any challenge.”
