Baron Davis once described in graphic detail that he was abducted by aliens

In 2013, Baron Davis appeared as a guest on The Champs Podcast and talked about his career. The NBA veteran then shocked the hosts with a story about how he had recently had an encounter with aliens. But it wasn’t just one where he saw them.

Davis claims that he was driving back from Las Vegas when he noticed a bright light and was abruptly pushed and shoved by these “crazy looking individuals”.

“They were poking me on the nose, looking at my eyes, they had my hands tied and the next thing you know I was in Montabello dude, burning rubber on the way back to L.A. at 4 o’clock in the morning.”

David stated that his mind had become sharper since the encounter and that he was retaining information better. Later in the interview, he mentioned that a book about his alien encounter would be published.

When it was over, listeners and program presenters were left wondering if Baron Davis had made it all up.

Davis later corrected his remarks on Twitter. If his words had been taken seriously, he would have faced a barrage of criticism and inquiries.

That alien thing is a joke. @nealbrennan please help me. People are outside my house in black suits #jk #meninblack
