The savior of Golden State, Baron Davis, who led the once lowly Warriors to an 18-10 record after being traded from the New Orleans Hornets, has been hired by ABC to work alongside host Mike Tirico and analysts Steve Jones and Bill Walton to help with Sundays playoff coverage.

"I think being a Warrior had a lot to do with it," Davis said during a phone interview Thursday. "If I were still with New Orleans, I probably wouldn't have wanted to do it. I wouldn't have done it."
