Sure he would work better as Rick Davis, but for me this sounds like someone who grew up in the suburbs. I can hear my mom telling me to go down the street to play with Little Ricky Davis. He's a nice boy.
However his full name Tyree Ricardo Davis is a bit more obvious.

Is it possible for a player's real-life blackness to overpower his RCAS status? I mean, on the face of it, "Ricky Davis" would sound white to someone who didn't know anything about him... but the man is so overwhelmingly, stereotypically black that it's almost impossible to separate him from his blackness even for a moment -- not even long enough to consider him a RCAS. IMO, he's been far too black to ever be a RCAS; future generations will see his name and instinctively know that he was black, despite the white-sounding name. In fact, Ricky Davis is the force that brings the RCAS concept to its knees.
