In this YouTube short, Baron Davis (Speaker A) delivers a raw, first‑person monologue describing his intense frustration while playing for the Los Angeles Clippers. He explains feeling targeted and paranoid in LA, recounts how teammates and friends questioned his performance, and admits he repeatedly imagined confronting the team’s owner, Donald Sterling, by "popping" him in the face during games. Davis also mentions urging teammate Draymond Green to run down the sideline so he could attempt the violent act, only to be rebuffed. The narrative conveys a mix of anger, fear, and a sense of being forced into a persona he does not want to become.

Hey bro, it was the worst. And I'm from LA, so you gotta think, I'm from LA, I ain't hooping, they plotting against me every day. Every day I leave this place, I'm just trying to come here and work. And who? Y'all about to make me turn into somebody I don't wanna be. And then you got the homies like, "Yeah, you know, why you play like that, man? You a busta, you gonna let it?" You know what I mean? It's like, yeah, I used to think about it every night. Like, man, am I gonna, walk in here and lose my mind. You know, I used to tell people on the team, they was so scary, yo. I used to tell dudes, "Man, run down the sideline." You know what I mean? So I, pew. They were like, "No, man, no." I used to go to the game thinking like that. Like, "Draymond, run down the left. When you pass the owner, I'mma throw the ball as hard as I can and try and pop him in the face." And the dude be like, "No, man, I'm not doing that." I'm not running past. I'm like, "Just one time. Just one." But that's just one time. But nobody would do it.
