Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis reveals that he almost paired up with Los Angeles Clippers’ Paul George for Indiana Pacers. The two play for respective sides in the Los Angeles, playing the ultimate supporting role. Paul George had said this past summer that the “best power forward” was all set to team up with him in the Indiana Pacers in 2017. For all we knew, back then, could be Anthony Davis. This could’ve been one of the most elite duos in the history of NBA, if they hadn’t gone out their separate ways. 

Paul Geroge had earlier said told that he spoke to Anthony Davis and the latter was all ready to come to Indiana. But the Pacers front office had declined that. The two potential teammates are now playing for arch city rivals. What an irony, one could say! Now, AD confirms what PG13 was saying.

“The Paul thing in Indiana, it was a conversation for sure. It kind of just faded away. I’m not sure what happened on their end. He said that management didn’t want to do it whatever, but it was a conversation, and then LeBron [James] saying he wants to team up, then the year that we do we win a championship.

“LeBron kind of spoke it into existence, and it happened. Glad it happened for me for selfish reasons. I wanted to be a champion and able to do that my first year teaming up with him,” said the 27-year-old. 

The talented seven-time NBA All-star did not forget to put some respect on PG’s name. He further added his comments on the matter and said, “Who knows what would’ve happened with Paul in Indiana. He’s another great player, especially when he was in Indiana he was definitely tough to guard. He’s still tough to guard today.”
