To an NBA All-Star making more than $25 million per year, one might think that being honored by the university he spent only a few months at would be little more than a footnote in Anthony Davis’ life.
But Davis and his family arrived at Kentucky’s Kroger Field on Friday afternoon earlier than almost all of the other guests and some of the staff as he and five others were to be inducted into the UK Athletics Hall of Fame.
“It’s such an honor. Being here for a short period of time and then being able to be inducted off the time I was here, it’s great for me and my family,” Davis said ahead of the gala dinner and ceremony.
