How to kill your chance at the NBA

don't blow the interview process....

If we compare him to Omri Casspi, it seems that Davon is just as good.

"I think that the best thing about Omri is his attitude, he is a great guy and a player you want on your team. Davon has an image of a lazy player, who gained a lot of weight at the worst timing, and gave stupid answers in interviews. One of the teams told that they interviewed 4 players and asked them: "if you weren't a basketball player, what would you do?" everyone gave answers like a baseball player or a doctor. And what did Davon say? I would be a stripper. That is another example for how he shot himself in the foot, and that is what he is remembered by today. There are a lot of athletic players in the NBA, but the difference is in the attitude and Davon will need to prove that he has changed it".
