Get ready for some statistics. Like this: Davis is one of only three players in NBA history to log 10,000 points, 4,000 rebounds and 1,000 blocks before turning 26. In his past three seasons, Davis averaged 27.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.4 blocks. That means he scored more than Steph Curry or Kevin Durant, snagged more steals than LeBron James and rejected more shots than all but one other player in the league. He’s one of only two players in NBA history (the other is this guy named Kareem) who averaged 30 points and a 50 percent field goal percentage in their first two playoff series.
Now a Los Angeles resident, the Chicago native sayse he likes what he sees on the Lakers’ roster with the Los Angeles Lakers beginning training camp later this month. “If they get it together obviously they’re going to be a very good team,” he told me. “LeBron, Rondo and those guys, their veteran leadership is going to try and get that continuity together early on and try to get it together and going fast.”

Globally, there has been a lot of talk about Team USA’s absences, and the 32 players who withdraw their names from the preliminary roster. Fournier, 26 was critical of his competitors in the NBA: “It does [bother me]. To be honest, when you look at LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and all these guys… they came here already and won, so it’s fine. But for friends of mine like Tobias [Harris], I thought it was a great opportunity for him to see something different and compete. I think they don’t realize how beneficial this is for their career. It’s a great tournament, great basketball, super intense. I know you have to work on your game, but this is way better.”
Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Lamar Odom, LeBron James, and Kyrie Irving. Those are the only five players to win an NBA title and a gold medal in the same year, whether it was in FIBA or Olympic competition, with Pippen doing it twice. It is an exclusive club – one that Marc Gasol is on the cusp of joining.
