Thier conversation started with Kentucky’s all time starting team. Robinson put out the question on whether AD would make Derek’s all time starting five. He said it would be unfair considering there are so many great players, but he put out some serious praise for the star.

When speaking about Anthony Davis, Derek said that he is a once in a lifetime player. This is because he shines like no one in a two way role for his size. The Lakers’ first win was sure proof as he scored 20 points and also got himself 4 blocks during the game. Hence, DA definitely has hit the mark when speaking about Davis.

Derek said: “I think Anthony Davis is a once in a lifetime two way player at that size. No one was using that athletic and that size, that smart at that age, that unselfish, Like dude was former leading scorer on the team and won a national championship and he was the MVP. You know he was a game changer. He is a once in a lifetime player.

Davis is worthy of this praise without question. While he is definitely a star in the NBA, there is a reason he was the number 1 pick.
