In NBA culture, opinions and predictions run rampant. Both fans and players love to debate who will be the next MVP or which team will come out on top. Recently, former champion Kevin Garnett made a bold prediction. KG?s passion for the game is well known, and he has claimed that there is one player in particular who has all that it takes to be an NBA MVP.?

Kevin Garnett is known for speaking his mind without hesitation. This time too, he has all the reasons for naming a Lakers star who he believes can challenge Nikola Jokic for the title of League MVP.

Garnett says Anthony Davis will win MVP in two years

In a recent episode of his ‘KG Certified’, he emphatically said that “This is the year I’m expecting Anthony Davis to be MVP in these next two years or something.” Garnett firmly believes that Davis possesses all the qualities necessary to claim the MVP title. But why does he hold such high regard for Davis??

Firstly, he is the key power forward/center for the Lakers. His journey in basketball started to grow during his college years at the University of Kentucky, where John Calipari coached him. He then won the NCAA championship in 2012. After being drafted by the Pelicans, he has made 8 NBA All-Star appearances in his career.?

He has recently signed a 3 year richest contract extension in the history of the league. The staggering deal has made him over $189M.?

Secondly, Garnett then moved on to a comparison. Davis has all that it takes. Garnett highlighted Davis’ versatility in comparison to other top contenders, “He can do everything Joker (Nikola Jokic) can do. He can do everything (Joel) Embiid can do. What the f*** you talking about, dawg? I’m expecting him to be MVP.”?

Anthony Davis is entering his 12th season?

Kevin Garnett’s bold claim about Anthony Davis potentially becoming an MVP is not without merit. Over the years, he has been a key player, scoring an average of 24 points per game. In 2020, he was averaging 26.1 points, which factored in for the laker?s championship. As he is entering his new season, he is the second most important player after LeBron. The Lakers have put all their faith in him and rewarded him with the largest extension deal in NBA History.?
