Baron's Last Gift to Warriors Fans?

by R Dizzle on Jul 6, 2008 9:43 PM PDT in Rumors

I know I know...what could possibly be considered a "gift" at a time like this?

Well chiggy check it....

I went down to visit the fam and some ol buddies from high school on the 4th, and a buddy of mine told me he saw Mr. Cooper on an airplane that he took home that day.

I was like, "NO way! I loved Mr. Cooper! But didn't he do a crappy show on Comedy Central for a while? Wonder what that fool is up to now?"

Old school En Vouge!

So I went to the all trust-worthy Wikipedia...

And found this

"June 24, 2008 Mark Curry's publicist announced that "Hangin' With Mr Cooper: Warrior's Spirit" a remake of the mid-nineties TV sitcom is set to begin production in September 2008. It will be produced by NBA star Golden State Warriors Baron Davis, a long time friend of Curry. Also staring is Raven-Symoné reprising her role as Nicole Lee. The plot is said to be based on Mr. Cooper joining the Golden State Warriors."

Not much info I know...but hey, it's something!

Happy to see Mark Curry reppin the Bay on national TV once again! This man was a true Warrior fan through it all!

Now here's the real question, is production going to still continue even though Baron is gone? I'm sure he had a big pull in the whole matter of getting Mr. Cooper back on TV, but will he keep pushing even though he's not throwin up a W? Seeing as though it's going back to the old roots of Mr. Cooper trying to join the Warriors, I'm gonna go ahead and assume there's going to be some necessary shots of the Roaracle and potentially of some Warriors players. Hopefully this does see production cause I bet it'll be hotter than a Brandon Wright dunk! (Any other ideas who to insert there seeing as though we have no other players?)

Happy to see Raven Symone back in action!

Any good memories of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper?

you know

that’s actually pretty cool. i’m not going to lie. if that actually gets released, i would be pretty excited. sounds like some good ol fashioned fun and entertainment, warriors style. i hope BD doesn’t axe it (i don’t expect him to).

Dating myself here...

I actually remember the show and watched the tryout episode where he played in a game.

Didn't he really play in a preseason game for that?

I think Mark Curry signed a 10-day contract and everything. Or maybe my memory sucks, either way good times.

Awesome!!!!

I miss the days when the NBA was big in movies….you know, Space Jam, Eddie….for some reason, seeing the NBA on the big screen is awesome for me because I get to point out all of the players I recognize! But man, if the Warriors were to actually BE in one of these films….it would be totally SLAMMIN’!!!!

Adonal Foyle Cameo, anyone?

Lol, say that to me right after I change it!

Eh, it was outdated, anyway. Mike Gravel dropped out of the race long ago. And I’m no Ralph Nader….and DEFINATELY no John McCain. (Although I still support Ralph Nader….he’s just not me.)

i say...

that the Warriors give the thumbs down (if possible) on the project just in spite of BD. they should do it at the last possible moment and tell him all along that they’re ok with it. then screw him over like he did us.

Tryout episode is on youtube...

embedding is disabled, however…so you’ll have to click on the links.

The only thing about it that I remembered was that the game action was filmed during a W’s pre-season game played at Harmon Gym (pre-Haas expansion).

ran into him at the Oakland airport one time

Caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of my eye and turned to see who it was since, like you mentioned, the dude is talllll. He saw me look at him and I smiled and gave him a head nod. He smiled and nodded back. Totally the opposite of the too-cool-to-be-bothered-by-the-public celebrity.
