Summary

"Anthony Davis is an enigma, of sorts. He measures 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 m) in height and 253 pounds (114 kg) in weight and plays the positions of power forward and center. Davis has joined the 10,000 points scored club, led the league in two-point shooting on three occasions, and was the blocked shots leader in 2015 and 2018. He is also the first player to score more than 50 points in a National Basketball Association (NBA) all-star game. This shows that the style of play Davis has developed in his nine seasons in the NBA does not mesh with his size. Davis does not play like a typical NBA "big man" but more like a player that is four or five inches (10.2 cm or 12.7 cm) shorter. He has a deft touch around the rim and plays in a way that is reminiscent of some of the greatest tall players in league history, such as Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (to name a few)"--, Provided by publisher
