LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — This is the moment Los Angeles Lakers star forward Anthony Davis has been waiting for. Before he was traded to the Lakers in June 2019, he told Yahoo Sports he valued legacy over money.
More than a year later, he’s a central member of one of the last two teams standing. He's ready for his NBA Finals closeup.
“You know I wanted this,” Davis told Yahoo Sports.
After spending seven seasons in New Orleans with only two postseason appearances, he came to the realization that a change of scenery was in order and he wanted up-close experience with a player who has made numerous championship runs.
