Anthony Davis has only been with the Los Angeles Lakers for four seasons, but he has already set a very lofty goal for how he wants to be remembered when he leaves the purple and gold.
The Lakers retired Pau Gasol’s No. 16 jersey in a ceremony during Tuesday night’s matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. After L.A. posted a 112-103 victory over the road team, Davis said he hopes to have his No. 3 jersey hanging next to Gasol’s one day.
The Lakers have one of the most impressive collection of retired jerseys in sports. Gasol joined the likes of Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal, Wilt Chamberlain and other legends.
While Davis is only 29 years old, he has to hope his body allows him to consistently take the court. The expectation of titles in La La Land should go without saying, too.
