LOS ANGELES -- After scoring 35 points in his second consecutive game to open the season, leading the Lakers to a 123-116 win over the Phoenix Suns and a 2-0 record out of the gates, Anthony Davis was asked if he could name the two other Laker greats to match his scorching start.
It took him six errant guesses -- rattling off Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, James Worthy and LeBron James -- before he guessed one right.
"Jerry West?" Davis asked, correctly naming the Hall of Famer who opened the 1969-70 season with 39 points in his first game and 42 in his second.
