It’s hard to think of Barry Davis and not think of wrestling. The first time he stood, it was probably in a wrestling stance. He grew up outside Cedar Rapids and won three prep state titles at Prairie High School. He moved down the road to Iowa City and won three NCAA titles for Dan Gable and the University of Iowa. He was a two-time Olympian, a silver medalist in 1984. He, naturally, went into coaching, first working under Gable at Iowa before moving east to Madison, Wis., where he became the head … [Read more...] about Ex-Hawkeye Barry Davis remains close wrestling

At Big3, Baron Davis says We Believe Warriors want to return the favor
OAKLAND — Nailed to a wall about seven feet above a security office door, below the seating bowl on the eastern end of Oracle Arena, near the loading dock, is a yellow t-shirt. It’s not in a frame, and there isn’t a plaque or any signage. The slogan on the front of the faded piece of cotton says it all: “We Believe”. On Friday, three members of the 2006-07 We Believe Warriors team — Baron Davis, Al Harrington and Steven Jackson — returned as part of the Big3 barnstorming tour, and were greeted with warm ovations, and a fan base no longer starved for success, but one reveling in three titles in four years. “These fans and their love for the game, their love for each and every individual that’s ever played here, it’s almost like, once a Warrior, always a Warrior,” said Davis. “It’s just a great and amazing thing to see the team winning, to see the fans really get a chance to experience that.” The first … [Read more...] about At Big3, Baron Davis says We Believe Warriors want to return the favor
Best and worst of Summerfest Day 10: Kip Moore, Jonathan Davis of Korn, Phantogram & more
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Published 5:26 p.m. UTC Jul 8, 2018 Here are some of the best (and worst) Summerfest shows we saw Saturday. RELATED: Review: The Weeknd lives up to superstar status at Summerfest in Milwaukee RELATED: School of Rock students show power of teamwork and electric guitars at Summerfest RELATED: You can see Arcade Fire and Manchester Orchestra for just $21 at Summerfest Sunday RELATED: Hit up Summerfest on Sunday for free stuff, including tickets for next year (just don't lose them) Phantogram Much unlike the Big Gig’s previous lineups, Summerfest didn’t skimp on indie music this time around. Electro-pop duo Phantogram were one of many 88.9-approved artists to headline the festival this year, and their performance at the Miller Lite Oasis stage was one of the festival’s most understated and underrated sets. Sarah Barthel’s powerful bass grooves and Josh Carter’s deep, monotone singing voice were both reminiscent of electronica … [Read more...] about Best and worst of Summerfest Day 10: Kip Moore, Jonathan Davis of Korn, Phantogram & more

Ex-Warriors Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson return to Oakland in Big3 league
By Daniel Brown | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: July 3, 2018 at 9:00 am | UPDATED: July 3, 2018 at 9:55 am OAKLAND — Ice Cube is on the line and the rapper wants the people of Oakland to know how grateful he remains for all those times they showed up at his performances back in the day. “They’ve always supported me as an artist since I started,” he said. “I feel like I owe Oakland a game. I feel like I’m bringing something great to Oakland as a thank you.” Ice Cube’s payback comes in the form of Big3 basketball, a 3-on-3 half-court league he co-founded last year. The eight-team league featuring retired NBA stars such as Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson visits Oracle Arena for the first time Friday. And Cube, the musician, writer and actor, figures the action will ease the suffering of anyone going through hoops withdrawals since the Warriors’ victory parade. “They’re loving basketball … [Read more...] about Ex-Warriors Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson return to Oakland in Big3 league
