Whether it was the jaw-dropping dunks that brought fans out of their seats, or yet another stat line that hadn’t been generated by an NBA player in decades, witnessing Anthony Davis’ exploits in person for every game of the 2014-15 season was a memorable experience. Invariably, after one of Davis’ remarkable individual performances, a writer covering the opposing team would sidle up to me and say something along the lines of, “Wow, what Davis did out there tonight was absolutely incredible... But this must be normal for you, right? Because you get to see this every night!" Indeed.
The fascinating aspect of his rapid rise is that as Davis heads into his fourth season, he still has upside. Fans should appreciate what he already is, though, a uniquely talented player who has become must-see TV. Trust me, as someone who’s been in the building for every one of his Pelicans-era games, you’re going to want to tune in next season, to see what happens next. On any given night, there’s a chance you may witness something you’ve never seen.
