Warriors point guard Baron Davis has taken over what he calls a "huge" responsibility.

He wasn't talking about his role as the leader of the Warriors. He wasn't referring to carrying his team into the 2006 NBA playoffs. He's talking about taking over Magic Johnson's charity game.

At the conclusion of Magic's Celebrity & Pro All-Star Charity Basketball game, the marquee event part of "A Midsummer Night's Magic," Johnson bequeathed the entire event to the control of Davis and Boston Celtics guard Paul Pierce, a fellow Los Angeles-native.

"It's a great way to give back to the community, also bring some entertainment to the city that I grew up in," Davis said. "I have a lot of friends in L.A. and it means a lot to me to give back. Magic has given 20 years of greatness with this event. In the past 10 years, Magic has been a hands-on mentor for me, both on and off the court. For him to hand something down after 20 years, it's an honor to be considered, let alone be given that responsibility."

The Magic Johnson Foundation has yet to officially announce the move.
