Lakers’ Anthony Davis got emotional as reality hit him before the buzzer

With 25 seconds left to the buzzer, reality hit Davis hard. He was about to win the title for the first time after all these years in the league. “It was an unbelievable feeling,” the Brow admitted.

Davis left the court to get away from the cameras, and LeBron followed him and whispered something in his ear. AD said, “I was emotional… When I came out of the game, I just started feeling it. About 25 seconds left, that feeling just turns to reality, and I was 25 seconds from becoming a champion… I just got very emotional… He (LeBron) was bothering me, was telling me, ‘Ohh…You soft, you crybaby.'”
