For nearly two decades, Mike Davis has treasured a photo of his then-7-year-old son smiling alongside a baby-faced LeBron James.
The Detroit Mercy men’s basketball head coach has caught himself glancing at that photo more often this season with both subjects chasing history.
“I’ve been thinking, ‘Is this the all-time leading scorer in NBA history and the all-time leading scorer in college basketball history?’” Davis told Yahoo Sports last week. “What a priceless picture that would be if that happens.”
That future came achingly close to becoming reality Thursday night, but Antoine Davis fell a single flick of his wrist short of making it happen.
