Ricky Davis is More Selfish than Kate Beckinsale

Look at the attached photo: If that's not the face of a selfish woman, than I don't know what is.

Few people have been as selfish as Kate Beckinsale was when she decided not to do whatever Underworld movie they are on now. None of us would kick her out of bed for eating Triscuit crackers, but her selfishness is not going unnoticed.

But even though she remains as the Queen of Selfish for not doing Underworld XLIII, her male equal, Ricky Davis of the Los Angeles Clippers, still runs the house of selfish.

I know, I know, J.R. Smith. I haven't overlooked you and your heavily contested game-tying, catch-and-shoot three-point attempt yesterday with 33 seconds left (even though there was plenty of time to play defense/foul) that myself, George Karl, and Chauncey Billups wanted to strangle you for.

Nope. Ricky Davis is the King of Selfish.

The best part about Ricky Davis is that in his mind, he's never guarded. There is never a time when Ricky Davis won't shoot. And we've all seen him pull the trigger on almost  every shot.

The "hand in your face" jumper, the "split the double-team" fadeaway and the "Nate Robinson wouldn't even do this in a dunk competition" drive to the basket. And how could we forget the "shoot it off your own basket to get the rebound to complete a triple-double" shot.

Ricky Davis does it all.

Yesterday was a new chapter in Ricky Davis' Guide to Becoming Selfish for Dummies.

The short-handed Los Angeles Clippers were facing the Portland Trail Blazers. The Clippers were actually hanging around by their standards—down by about 25 points in the third quarter when they made a run.

The lead was trimmed to 20 and Pretty Ricky got his hands on the ball with a chance to cut it to 17. Obviously, he jacked it up and clanked. Clippers get the ball rebound, then it's cycled around back to Ricky, and he hoists another jumper. 0-2.

Clippers somehow get a third rebound on the possession and Ricky Davis gets his filthy mitts on it one more time. By this point, it was clear the circle button was broken on his controller and passing was not an option. So he shoots again. Clank.

Honestly, how many players in the NBA have taken three shots on one possession? I'm not talking about the Tim Duncan's or Kevin Garnett's of the world, who takes a shot then try to tip it twice.

I'm talking about a selfish guard like Ricky Davis, who'll shoot, won't fight to get the rebound, but will call to get the balls back in his hands and shoot.

Three shots in one possession. It's simply perfect.

Ricky Davis has never played for a winner because he's a loser. He's not a loser in the sense that he's a dead-beat dad like Rick Ross. He's a loser in the sense that everywhere he plays, his teams lose. He's a selfish loser than drags the rest of his teammates down.

Since the 2000-01 season, Davis has played on a winning team just once. That team topped out at 45 wins. He hasn't played with the best talent but he has been part of the problem.

If he could play one-on-five, he would. Given the opportunity, Davis would participate in the Dunk Competition and Three-Point Shootout. He wouldn't do the point guard competition or play in the celebrity game because he'd have to pass.

So take that Beckinsale. You've met your match, and he plays for the Clippers.
