Ten-time All-Star and NBA 75th Anniversary Team member Anthony Davis now lines up for the Washington Wizards as a centre and power forward.
Draft file
The story so far
Anthony Davis holds a place on the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, a distinction that captures a two-way career: ten All-Star selections, four All-NBA First Team nods, an All-Star Game MVP award in 2017 and a championship. Scoring and shot-blocking have carried equal weight across that run, which stretches from the top of the draft to the present.
The New Orleans Hornets made him the first overall pick in 2012. His path then ran through the Pelicans, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks before reaching the Washington Wizards, where he is now listed as a centre and power forward and carries jersey 23. Defensive honours hold their place too: three blocks titles and repeated All-Defensive selections.
Good to know
Retirement has not arrived, since he is still playing basketball in the NBA with the Washington Wizards.
The Washington Wizards are the team he currently plays for in the NBA.
On the scales he comes in at 115 kg, with a height of 2.11 m.
College basketball took him to Kentucky, where he spent a single season before turning professional in 2012.
His trophy case holds the 2017 All-Star Game MVP award, an NBA championship ring and four All-NBA First Team selections.
