Baron Davis: 10 TV Shows New York Knicks Star Must Make a Cameo on Next

Baron Davis just shot a cameo appearance for Betty White's show, Hot in Cleveland. According to ESPN, he was so nervous in doing the cameo for one of his favorite stars, he forgot his lines.

In the cameo, he plays an athlete going to Elka Ostrovsky, a "sports whisperer"  for help with his game. 

That got us to thinking, what other shows could he do?

Grimm

In this show, which is about various supernatural creatures who are some version of werewolf (just switch out the animal), Davis plays a good-guy werebear/forrest ranger aiding star Nick Burkhardt in an investigation at a national park.

In one scene, Burkhardt catches Davis' character stealing a pic-i-nic basket, much to Davis' embarrassment. 

The makeup staff loves the gig because they don't have to do any makeup. 

Mike and Molly

When the Knicks are playing in Chicago, Baron Davis (playing himself) shows up to an Overeaters Anonymous meeting, where Mike gets into an argument with him about why the Bulls are better than the Knicks. 

Person of Interest

One day, instead of a social security number, the computer spits out the number "85."

After much misdirection and subterfuge investigating the various members of the Knicks, Reese and Finch learn that the "violence" that is about to incur is the massacre that will ensue in Davis' first game. 

But who is doing the massacring?

You'll have to wait until next week to see, as the episode ends with a cliffhanger as Davis brings the ball up the court after the Knicks win the opening tip. 

Glee

Baron Davis breaks loose with the whole "triple threat" arsenal in this episode of Glee. 

When New Directions go to New York for nationals, Will gets into a fender bender with Davis.

After a heated argument, Will and Davis agree that the way to "settle this" is that New Directions square off with the Knicks City Dancers, front-lined by Davis, in a halftime show at Madison Square Garden. 

Davis has a brief love affair with Sue Sylvester. He sings I Will Always Love You to Sue at the halftime show. The crowd is moved to tears, but Sue calls him a "wuss" and dumps him right there. 

New Directions, inspired by the events, do Bob Marley's Everything's Gonna Be Alright, inspiring Davis to carry the Knicks to victory. 

House

Frustrated with their inability to get Davis on the court, the Knicks send him to world-renowned diagnostician, Dr. Gregory House. 

Eventually, House discovers that the "bulging disk" was an incomplete diagnosis.

Davis was really suffering from a chronic condition of "playingonlosersosis." 

House realizes that the only remedy for Davis came not in treating Davis but in treating his teammate Carmelo Anthony. He gives Anthony a special hand lotion that keeps them from being so sticky, and Davis is cured. 

In a side story, House bets Wilson that he can get coach Mike D'Antoni fired. In order to find out if he succeeds, you have to watch the episode, though. 

The Big Bang Theory

Sheldon Cooper has a run-in with a bearded homeless man one day when he goes for a walk to resolve an equation he's been working on for two years.

Carrying the equation on a piece of paper, Cooper has it ripped from his hand when a gust of wind blows it away. 

Racing after it, Cooper sees the forlorn Davis stoop and pick it up. Upon studying it for less than a minute, the man resolves the issue but refuses to give Cooper the answer unless he beats him in three-dimensional chess. 

Cooper, confident that he can never lose at the game and only humoring the man to prove that he doesn't have the answer, loses in 12 moves.

Suddenly Cooper is feeling marginalized as a homeless man may well be smarter than he!

At the end of the show, it is revealed that Davis is actually a five-time Nobel prize-winning theoretical physicist who was looking for a protege, but the number one quality was humility, and Cooper failed.  

Modern Famiy

Davis is looking to buy a new home in California and takes on Phil as his real estate agent.

Things get complicated when Davis develops a crush on Gloria after visiting Phil at his home and running into her. 

Jay, a huge basketball fan, is not the least bit threatened and tries to encourage Gloria to use her wiles to get him to buy the house across the street that's up for sale.

Meanwhile, Phil is trying to push Davis into one of his agency's homes. 

Davis gets tired of being manipulated by both of them until Manny saves the day by being the adult in the family and Davis, with $30 million to spend, gets both houses. 

The Office

When Robert California joins  the friendly basketball games that have begun to take place in the warehouse, they start becoming hotly contested, as California is quite liberal with his contact and everyone is afraid to call the foul on him. 

The crew finally recruit Jim, who is usually indifferent about such things, but when California calls him a "chicken" and makes several jokes, Jim joins the game and dominates, as basketball was "kind of his thing" in high school.

In fact, the show reveals that he was All-State and turned down three Division I Scholarships because he'd gotten bored with it. 

Led by Halpert, the team destroys California's team, so California hires Baron Davis to be a spokesperson for Sabre and be on his team. Not to be outdone, Halpert buys donuts for the whole crew and lets it slip to Davis that the game is starting half an hour early. 

The gang walks in to see six empty donut boxes, 72 missing donuts, and a napping Davis as Halpert wins the day. 

Two and a Half Men

One day, Walden gets some basketball tickets in the mail for when the Heat play the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, a gift from a client, Baron Davis.

When Walden starts to throw them away, the ever-opportunistic Harper is ready to rescue them and put them up for sale on Ticketmaster.

However, when Walden learns that Jake is a big basketball fan, he flies the three of them out to New York on his private jet  to watch the Knicks play the Heat.

Alan keeps pestering Davis to find out whether he is playing so he can know which team to bet on for the evening's game. 

Trying to sneak into the Knicks locker room, he gets distracted by the Kicks City Dancers heading into theirs.  Not  paying attention to where he's going, he accidentally knocks the Knicks mascot (invented for the purpose of the show), practicing for a stunt, off a ladder. 

Harper dons the outfit and tries unsuccessfully to duplicate the mascot duties. 

The highlight of the show comes when Jake and Chris Bosh bump into each other after the game and find they have a lot in common.  

30 Rock

After learning his Knicks season tickets are replaced with Liberty tickets because NBC is no longer "relevant" Jack Donaghy is desperate to regain the status the tickets represent, because "someone needs to keep Spike Lee in mind." 

In a show that practically writes itself, Donaghy is forced to make a deal with Baron Davis, get him on 10 TV shows, and Davis will get him season tickets.
