At the 8:37 mark of the second quarter of his Knicks debut on Monday, guard Baron Davis knocked down a 3-pointer, the first points of his season. Seconds later, television cameras showed Davis with his hand to his mouth, index finger and thumb in a circle.
Around the Internet, speculation was that Davis was miming smoking marijuana because of the position of his hands. Deadspin.com showed a screen capture of Davis Tuesday morning, with the headline, “Baron Davis Celebrates Hitting A ‘J’ By Pretending To Hit A ‘J’,” a reference to marijuana.
On Tuesday, Davis took to Twitter to point out that, no, he was not glamorizing the use of marijuana, but was merely holding three fingers up—as in 3-pointer—and kissing them. “To clear up rumors,” Davis tweeted, “I was kissing my hands after I shot the 3 last nite. Kissing the 3 was all I was doing. Stop fishing and hating plz.”
Davis, who was waived through the amnesty clause by the Cavaliers before the season, was signed by the Knicks on Dec. 19. He had been unable to play because of a back injury, but managed nine minutes in Monday’s loss to the Nets. The 3-pointer was the only shot he made, and he had one assist and a turnover.
