Dancing with the Stars is returning for season 34 with a roster of brand new faces, including one who left his mark in the NBA.
The popular ABC competition show released its full list of participants on September 3—a moment that’s always highly anticipated by fans.
However, the show had already revealed some names prior to the full announcement—sharing that wildlife legend Steve Irwin’s son Robert Irwin was joining the show along with influencer Alix Earle and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast members Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck.
As for the full list, two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis is on there—Davis played in the NBA for 13 seasons from 19999 to 2012. His longest stint was with the Charlotte Hornets, but he also played for the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks.
Among the other celebs joining this year’s DWTS roster are Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles, Corey Feldman, Boy Meets World Star Danielle Fishel, The Parent Trap actress Elaine Hendrix and Fifth Harmony singer Lauren Jauregui.
Zach Efron’s younger brother Dylan Efron is also joining for season 34 as are Alec Baldwin’s wife Hilaria Baldwin, Andy Richter and Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying.
Lucky for Davis, athletes have a strong track record when it comes to winning it all on Dancing with the Stars. Back in 2021, Iman Shumpert became the first former NBA player to win the top prize.
NFL legend Emmitt Smith was the first athlete to win the show back in 2006. Some of the other athlete winners on previous seasons of DWTS include NFL stars Hines Warner and Donald Driver, Olympic gymnasts Shawn Johnson and Laurie Hernandez, Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno and Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon.
Season 34 of DWTS will premiere September 16 on ABC.
