Anthony Davis faced the media for the first time as a member of the Dallas Mavericks, days after the Los Angeles Lakers traded him to the Mavs as part of a package for Luka Doncic. Davis, 31, has been an NBA All-Star 10 times and an All-NBA player five times.

Following the blockbuster NBA trade that sent star point guard to the Los Angeles Lakers for star big man Anthony Davis, many fans of the Dallas Mavericks were angry. Much of the anger was geared toward general manager Nico Harrison as they couldn't believe he traded Doncic away.
