Contract extensions are not the most lucrative news during an NBA offseason. However, they do end up raising some eyebrows. It is usually free-agent signings and trades that get the most attention. However, when it’s a $189 million extension broken down to $62 million a year, you can be sure that it may just end up making it to the top of the list.

LeBron James’ teammate, Anthony Davis got the biggest contract extension in NBA history. And popular NBA analyst, Stephen A. Smith finally broke his silence as he gave his two cents on the whole ordeal.

While talking to George, Smith said, “Anthony Davis, your new contract. Look bro, I love A.D, love A.D. Talked to his daddy during the playoffs. I know he was a bit sensitive to what I was saying. Love A.D a person love him as a player. 62 million dollars? 62 million dollars? Let me tell you something bro.”

“His talent is worth it, his consistency is not. He will show up one day, he will not show up the next. He will drop 40 in game one, 11 in game two. Now me? I’d much rather have you averaging 28 to 30, night in and night out. Rather than each and every night it’s like the damn roller coaster.”

Is Smith right about Anthony Davis?

Stephen A. Smith went on to talk about the humiliation Anthony Davis had to face from the likes of Charles Barkley after one of his off games. But the point that Smith was trying to make did hold some value to it.

Out of the 82 games, Anthony Davis only played 56 of those. The eight-time All-Star battled constant injuries that kept him off the floor. And even when he wasn’t injured, at times Davis would be able to come through for the team.

But when he was in the zone, Davis even averaged 30.3 PPG for the month of December last season. So, it will be interesting to see if The Brow will be able to perform consistently after getting a huge extension this offseason.
