His dance performance came as a pleasant shock to judges. Derek Hough said that he had crushed this and called the dance performance "fun."

Hough also praised Baron's charisma in the routine while calling it a great first dance.

Hough further assured the former athlete that he surely has a lot of potential. Even Bruno was equally impressed with Davis' dancing skills, as he called his MC Hammer references "spot on."

Dancing partner Britt Stewart admitted that "she was thrilled to have an athlete as her partner".

The two soon rehearsed their dance to the tunes of  "Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer. The NBA All-Star athlete explained that the song gives him "the energy he needs to compete and be in his top game".

The athlete scored a 10 out of 20 in his first performance. 

Dancing with the Stars’ contestant Baron Davis admitted to being hesitant to participate

The former NBA footballer has recently admitted in an interview with US Weekly that he was initially a bit hesitant to participate in the dancing show.

“I was a little hesitant,” “You go back and forth, and you’re like, you know, if you do this, you’re all in, and you’re dancing in front of people, a lot of people on TV.” "There's always added pressure because you want to do well, you want to be great, you want to win,” Davis admitted. “And so that’s just an athlete mentality. You just can’t stop thinking about trying to do everything in sync and make it perfect.”

However, Baron Davis further revealed that he finally decided to keep his anxiety and nervousness aside, and explained how to get that as an athlete, even before games, or before practice, and that just means that he is preparing himself for something.
