Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James’ longevity is unparalleled. Over the course of his career, he has played consistently and delivered results as well. Even though he has turned 36-years-old this season, the King is yet to miss a game this season. With Anthony Davis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anthony-davis] sidelined due to a calf injury, James is putting in extra minutes. But playing 40+ minutes regularly can take a toll on any player’s body. The same is the case with LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james] and it was quite evident against the Washington Wizards. While James gave his best in the game, he looked exhausted in the game, which went until overtime. Because of James’ added minutes, fans are concerned that the King might get injured.

Former NBA player and current analyst Jalen Rose shared his thoughts on LBJ playing so many minutes. He said: “He played every game this season, he only had 71 days off after the Lakers won the championship. I know his love for the game and his consistency throughout his career has been outstanding. And I’m now glad he also has embraced this role of not being a fan of load management. “… In doing that, he’s going to wear himself down. LeBron James looked tired in that basketball game. When you shoot the basketball and it hit the side of the rim & it go out of bounds. He did that on the left side of the rim, he did it on the right side of the rim, that’s fatigue. … LeBron James we both know, will not keep up this level of minutes and still be as productive as he needs to be come playoff time.” ALSO READ | How Many Rings Does Lakers Superstar LeBron James Have With the 2020 NBA Title in His Bag? [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-how-many-rings-does-lakers-superstar-lebron-james-have-with-the-2020-nba-title-in-his-bag/] The Lakers need to figure out a way to take some load off of LBJ until Davis returns. Otherwise, they are running a risk of him getting injured and losing their best player.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Anthony Davis in 2024: Early Life, College Career, NBA Draft, Notable Records and Accolades</strong></h2>
Anthony Davis currently plays for the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He started his career in the league with the New Orleans Pelicans, or New Orleans Hornets, as it was known then. The player won the NBA title with the Lakers in 2020, after he and LeBron James led them to a stunning victory. The power forward remains a premium shot-blocker and can score at will. Often derailed by injuries, when he is fit and healthy, Anthony Davis has no limits.

He made his first playoff appearance in 2015. In the next season, he signed a five-year, $145 million contract extension with the Pelicans. However, a few months into the season, Davis' season ended because of shoulder and knee injuries. Davis has several tattoos, a few visible while playing ball. Notably, he has a tattoo of Mamba as a tribute to Kobe Bryant.

<h2><b>Anthony Davis' Early Life and High School</b></h2>
Born in Chicago on March 11, 1993, Davis was raised in the Englewood neighborhood. He started his playing days in high school with Perspectives Charter School. However, not all schools have world-class facilities and he later practiced at a local church. Although he didn't become the next kid on the block, he worked hard and received late recognition and a rapid growth spurt. He transitioned from a 'little guy' to 6'10" when he entered his senior year. Obviously, Anthony Davis became the #1 player in the 2011 class.

At one time, with the Perspectives Charter school, he averaged 32 points, 22 rebounds, and 7 blocks. His quality performances led him to numerous accolades, including the 2011 McDonald's All-American Game and the 10th annual Jordan Brand Classic. He was a first-team selection to the ESPN Rise boys' high school basketball All-American team. For a young boy to gain that much recognition speaks volumes of the power forward's talent.
<h2><b>College Career at Kentucky</b></h2>
After all those high school accolades, Davis verbally agreed to join Kentucky despite offers from Ohio, DePaul, and Syracuse and became the number 1 player in the national class of 2011. Coached by John Calipari, and playing one season under him, Anthony David dominated the courts from start to finish. He became the National Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and the Most Outstanding Player. To think of his rapid growth in college was a scary proposition for most teams.

<span style="font-weight: 400">The player set the </span>NCAA freshman records for blocks and won multiple national awards. There was no doubt that Anthony Davis would be the top player in the 2012 NBA draft. The player averaged 15.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 4.6 blocks per game, and led the team to its eighth NCAA championship. The block machine finally made it to the NBA after being miles apart in high school.

[caption id="attachment_846323" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-846323" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-04T033703Z_1277735311_MT1USATODAY17285226_RTRMADP_3_NBA-LOS-ANGELES-CLIPPERS-AT-LOS-ANGELES-LAKERS.jpg" alt="Anthony Davis vs LA Clippers" width="1920" height="1455" /> Dec 3, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (9) guards Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (3) in the first half of the game at Staples Center.

<h2><b>Anthony Davis' NBA Draft and New Orleans Career</b></h2>
Significantly, Anthony Davis declared himself for the 2012 NBA draft following his Kentucky Wildcats days. The New Orleans Hornets (later Pelicans) drafted Davis in 2012 and selected him as the first pick. At the 2012 NBA Draft Combine, Davis measured at 6 feet 9.25 inches (2.06 m), 221.8 pounds (100.6 kg), and had the second-longest wingspan—7 feet 5.5 inches (2.27 m)—of any player participating. It helped him to block shots easily throughout his career. Without much adaptation time, he established himself as one of the premier defenders in the league.

The player signed his first 3-year, $16 million guaranteed contract with the Hornets and made his debut against the San Antonio Spurs. He made his mark in the game, scoring 21 points but lost the matchup. However, injuries became a cause of concern for the player. Despite all the high-scoring games and blocked shots, he finished second to Damian Lillard in the Rookie of the Year award. Adding around 10 pounds in the post-season, Davis developed his post-game offense and became great in transitions. In a game against Orlando Magic, Davis scored 25 points and 15 rebounds, the youngest player in the franchise's history to do so.

He later earned an All-Star selection and made NBA teams with ease. The player led the league in blocks in 2014 (2.82 per game), becoming the youngest player to do so. Later, Victor Wembanyama broke the record in 2024. The greatest achievement in his New Orleans career became the 59-point game against the Detroit Pistons. He joined Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Webber, becoming the only players to have a 50-point game with 20 rebounds.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Earned </span><b>All-NBA and All-Defensive honors</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, making the playoffs and establishing himself as one of the league’s top power forwards as the Lakers came calling. </span>
<h2><b>Los Angeles Lakers and Championships</b></h2>
The player later requested a trade and guess where he went. The Los Angeles Lakers instantly became a championship contender as Anthony Davis joined LeBron James in 2019. He settled nicely and points came in thick and fast. 40-point games became customary as the player broke records at every instant. In a game against the Pistons, Davis set an all-time record for block percentage of 25.6%. Later in 2020, he declined the Lakers' contract offer for free agency in a bid to get a max contract of over $200 million.

Anthony Davis later led the team to the NBA championship in 2020. He and the Lakers earned their 17th NBA title, tying the Celtics' record of 17 title wins although the basketball team from Boston won their 18th. In the process, he became the first player to win an NCAA title, NBA title, Olympic gold, and FIBA World Cup. Quite an achievement, isn't it? He still plays for the Lakers, but injuries plagued him. One step forward and two steps back became a norm for the player who remains injured most of the time.

Yet, he remains crucial for the Lakers in terms of leading the team for rebounds, blocks, and scoring. Anthony Davis becomes crucial to the side heading to the 2024-25 season and hopes to win his second NBA title.

<h2><b>National Team and International Success</b></h2>
In terms of donning the Star and Stripes jersey, Anthony Davis achieved success like no other player. He won an Olympic gold in 2012 London with the customary Dream Team. They remained undefeated during the Olympic Games and won the gold medal by dominating Spain. It didn't stop there. The player then earned a selection to the US team for the 2014 FIBA World Cup. He averaged 12.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game in 9 games played while shooting 54.9% from the field.

Moreover, the player then returned to the 2024 U.S. Olympic team and helped them win a gold medal. He averaged 8.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and even got 1.2 steals. Of course, there were 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 62.5% from the field. He remains one of the most decorated players in the U.S. national team's history.
<h2><b>Personal Life and Esports Career</b></h2>
Notably, Anthony Davis' parents played a crucial role in his upbringing. His father Anthony Davis Sr. and mother, Erainer, taught him well at a young age. He has a twin sister, Antoinette, and an elder sister, Lesha. Moreover, Lesha followed her brother and played basketball at Daley College. Now coming to the love of his life, Anthony Davis married Marlen Polanco on September 18, 2021. The couple has three children: Nala and two boys whose names they have chosen not to disclose.

In another interesting part of his career, On June 19, 2022, Davis signed with FaZe Clan, joining Faze Clan's Nuke Squad for <i>Call of Duty</i>. <sup id="cite_ref-408" class="reference"></sup>

<h2><b>Notable Records and Accolades</b></h2>
In terms of records and accolades, Anthony Davis has several records to his name. He holds records in the NCAA, the NBA and franchise stats for blocks, rebounds, and efficiency. In the NCAA, the player had the most blocks in a season by a freshman with 186 blocks. It became the fourth all-time record in the NCAA for blocks in a single season. Meanwhile, his 29 blocks in the 2011-2012 NCAA tournament are tied for second all-time. In terms of scoring, Anthony Davis' .623 FG% remains a record for a freshman. He also got 415 rebounds in 2011-2012, tied for fourth all-time in the NCAA rebounds by a freshman.

In terms of NBA records, he scored a record-breaking 52 points in the 2017 All-Star game, which shocked the fans. But Jayson Tatum broke that record in the last All-Star game by scoring 55. The records don't end there. He became the first player to record 25+ points, 25+ rebounds, 5+ assists, and 5+ steals in a game. Known for his shot-blocking, Davis led the NBA in blocks, three times.

<span style="font-weight: 400">In addition, the player scored 30+ points and 15+ rebounds in four consecutive games, which only two Lakers players achieved.

LeBron James&#8217; early life LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. James started playing basketball at a young age, showing great potential. He soon became one of the best high school basketball players in the country. James graduated from St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary High School and declared for the NBA draft in 2003. James led St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary to three state championships in four years. With Keith Dambrot and Dru Joyce II coaching the side for two years each, the Fighting Irish had a record of 101 victories and 6 losses during James&#8217; time. LeBron James&#8217; wife and children LeBron James was raised by his mother Gloria James, who struggled to make ends meet as a single mother. Not much is known about James&#8217; biological father Anthony McClelland, who was largely absent from LeBron&#8217;s life during his childhood. He is also reported to have criminal records to his name. James has been in a relationship with his high school sweetheart Savannah since his teenage years. The couple tied the knot on September 14, 2013. Savannah James has indulged in several business ventures over the years and is also a noted philanthropist. She has also established a mentorship program for young women. LeBron and Savannah have three children together: Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri James. Both Bronny and Bryce are following in their father&#8217;s footsteps to become basketball stars. In December 2023, Bronny made his long-awaited collegiate debut with the USC Trojans, less than five months after suffering cardiac arrest in July.

As per reports, James has earned around $387 million in salaries in his 20-year NBA career so far. Furthermore, he has also made a fortune with his endorsement deals and investments, which have helped him build his massive business empire. LeBron James&#8217; NBA career timeline TheÂ Cleveland Cavaliers selected hometown boy LeBron James as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. James was a superstar straight out of high school and took the league by storm. He played for the Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 in his first stint and won MVP awards in 2009 and 2010. Even though the Akron Hammer was almost unstoppable on the court and won many individual accolades, team success was hard to come by.

He received major backlash from Cavs fans after this move. However, he continued his dominance, alongside superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the Heat, and clinched his first NBA title in 2012, followed by another in 2013. He also won the NBA MVP award and the Finals MVP award in 2012 and 2013. The estranged son then returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 and took the team to four straight NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. He helped the Cavs win their first-ever NBA title in 2016. James once again left the Cavs, this time to join the Los Angeles Lakers, in 2018 and led them to the 2020 NBA title.Â  Following the retirements of Udonis Haslem and Andre Iguodala, LeBron James is currently the oldest player in the league. On the 21st of November 2023, James became the first player in league history to reach 39,000 career points.

LeBron James&#8217; rings Over his illustrious 20-year career (and counting), James has won four NBA championships. He has led three different franchises &#8211; the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Los Angeles Lakers &#8211; to NBA titles. James&#8217; first title came in 2012 with the Heat, when he won his first Finals MVP award, followed by a second consecutive title in 2013. After returning to Cleveland in 2014, James delivered on his promise to bring the city its first major sports championship in over 50 years. In 2016, James powered the Cavaliers back from a daunting 3-1 deficit against the record-setting Golden State Warriors in the Finals. James won his 4th championship and NBA Finals MVP award in 2020, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a championship against his former side, the Miami Heat. LeBron James&#8217; shoe deals LeBron James signed a huge deal with Nike even before he entered the NBA. As James&#8217; superstardom rose, he became one of the most important faces of the brand, with his line of signature shoes, which is in its 20th version now. The four-time NBA MVP signed a lifetime deal with Nike in 2015 for an undisclosed fee. LeBron James&#8217; house LeBron James has reiterated multiple times that he does not spend his hard-earned money without reason. Former teammate Dwyane Wade once revealed that James is one of the cheapest players in the league despite being one of the richest. However, James knows how to spend his fortune in style. And when it comes to where he lives, the King does not compromise. According to reports, LeBron owns multiple properties in California, Ohio, and Miami, that are worth a combined estimated value of $100 million. LeBron James&#8217; car collection LeBron James is known for having an extensive collection of cars, estimated to be worth over $2 million. Some of the standouts include a Chevy Camaro SS, a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, and the Dodge Challenger SRT 392. He also owns a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a 720-horsepower V12 supercar. Another notable element of his collection is a Mercedes luxury sedan, the Maybach S650, worth around $200,000. Notably, after teaming up with Shaquille O&#8217;Neal in Cleveland, Shaq gifted LeBron a Rolls Royce Phantom for his 25th birthday. The luxury car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and is valued at around $505,000. LeBron James&#8217; controversial moments LeBron James has not had any major controversies so far. However, there have been a few questionable moments in his career. James was the centerpiece of controversy during his high school career for accepting gifts. Then his infamous move to the Miami Heat in 2010, announced on national television, stirred up a lot of controversy. James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand&#8217;s political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner&#8217;s detainment in Russia sparked some controversy. Will LeBron James retire? LeBron James, 39, is currently playing his 21st NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at the highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2023-24 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.
