It didn’t take Anthony Davis long to endear himself to fans of the Dallas Mavericks.
Less than five minutes into Saturday afternoon’s game against the Houston Rockets, Davis had already picked up six points, four rebounds, three assists and a blocked shot, and Dallas was ahead, 14-7. And the American Airlines Center sellout crowd of 20,303 was absolutely loving it.
With Von Miller – he was the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player following the 2015 season — sitting courtside, Davis in general and the Mavs in particular looked pretty super as they released a lot of steam from an emotional week which ended with them bouncing the Rockets, 116-105.
