In a candid YouTube short, Baron Davis (Speaker A) confronts Draymond Green about feeling deliberately excluded from the USA Basketball Olympic tryouts by Coach Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K). Davis argues that despite a strong 23‑8 season, he was not invited, questioning why Coach K would favor players from Duke over UCLA. He criticizes the selection of other guards, specifically naming Luke Rittenhour, whom he deems unworthy, and suggests that Coach K’s bias stems from Davis’s college affiliation. The conversation is informal, peppered with profanity, and reflects Davis’s frustration and sense of injustice regarding the selection process.

You know, and so I always felt like Coach K had like, would hate on me. You know what I mean? And I was right about that.
Why do you say you was right about that? 'Cause he hated on me.
When? How? During the Olympic tryouts. I was coming off a 23-8 and didn't get a tryout. I can't get a tryout? Like, name 30 people better than me. Okay, name 12. Name 4 guards better than me. Coach K a hater.
I ain't tripping. Do you think that stems from you not going to Duke and going to UCLA?
Absolutely. Absolutely. He wrote about it in his book. Every motherfucker that was in front of me or that got invited was sorry. Guards. You know, you ask me, they sorry. Who were the guards? Luke Rittenhour got invited. He weak as fuck. You know, this is my hurt talking. I respect his game. I think Luke Rittenhour was a good player. But like, you know, we talking as Hoopers, it's like, Are you fucking kidding me? This is ill, homie.
