The Los Angeles Lakers have captured the spotlight early this NBA season as LeBron James became the first NBA player to share the court with his son, Bronny James. However, for Anthony Davis, this is a dream he cannot even consider at this point in his life.
In an interview with ESPN’s Shams Charania, Davis candidly discussed the realities of his family life and how his young children may not follow in his footsteps. While he recognizes his children’s natural athletic advantages, he doesn’t want to push them too hard at such a young age.
“That’s not happening. My son is three, and the other one is two. When Bron and Bronny checked in to see those things, it was inspiring, monumental moments. But I think about it. My kids, one minute they love basketball, the next day they don’t want anything to do with basketball. So, it’s tough,” Davis said.
“They got the height, for sure. But they’re young now. I’m trying not to pressure them too much where they don’t love the game. But as they get older, I’m definitely going to force it on them, for sure,” he added.
Anthony Davis Opens Up About Missing Out On Defensive Player Of The Year Award
Anthony Davis has long been recognized as one of the NBA’s most dominant two-way players, but the Defensive Player of the Year award has eluded him throughout his illustrious career. In his recent interview with Shams Charania, Davis shared his frustration about not receiving the honor despite his defensive versatility.
“I guard 1 through 5. I’m pissed I don’t have one. Because I know how much I put into the defensive end. But now, it’s just like, it’s whatever. It doesn’t; it’s too much stress for me to be thinking,” Davis said.
