Anthony Davis: My Mom and My Family Are Disappointed That I'll Be A Hornet

[KingMichael23]

19-year-old's mother, who had been hoping her boy — raised in Chicago — would land with Michael Jordan's Bobcats.

"A lot of disappointment inside my family," Davis said on "The Dan Patrick Show" Thursday. "My mom wanted me to go to Charlotte. A lot of guys are disappointed but they have to move on and make the best out of New Orleans."

I already dislike this kid. At first I liked that he called out Kobe, but after this comment he just comes off as an arrogant douche bag. You gotta earn your stripes before you talk, kid.

Already posted. Already revealed as taken out of context. The end.

He never called out Kobe you morons. He said he admired his game and cannot wait to play against him. The worst thing he said was that he wants to play him and see if he can stop him since nobody else in the league can. That's not calling a player out.

And this thread was already deemed as an exaggeration last night. He is super excited to play for NO. He said that his mother would have prefered to have him play in Charlotte, but holds no regrets.

can he at least play a game before we start scouring all his interviews for out-of-context soundbites?

thanks

His mom thought she was going to be able to smile in their Chicago hometown hero's face. Sorry mom. His dad, as per Andy Katz though, is 'overjoyed'. No wonder he doesn't want to move her to NOLA. He said her moving there would be 'too close'. He knows she doesn't know anything.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky bought a billboard promoting Anthony Davis outside of New Orleans Arena prior to the SEC tournament in March.

The purpose was to sell Davis, and the Wildcats, to New Orleans in preparation for the Final Four at the Superdome next door to the New Orleans Hornets' home.

Little did the University of Kentucky know that its marketing department had done advance work for the hometown NBA franchise.

"If that billboard isn't still up, they should put it back up," Anthony Davis Sr. said about his son.
