Anthony Davis was a critical piece for the Los Angeles Lakers to win the 2020 NBA Title in the bubble. AD played his first season with the purple and gold on his best level and now has revealed the key role his wife had for it to happen.

“The thing that obviously pushed me more, that took me to another level, mentally, as far as my game…I was going through some personal s—, and I was ’bout to come home,” Davis explained. “And my wife was like, ‘Nah, I got it. … This is your opportunity to go do somethin’ that you always wanted to do.’

“Her birthday, we in the bubble. All this s—. So, she was like, ‘Go get that s— done.’ … She was like, ‘Go get it done.’ And I was like…’It’s no losin’ now. We can’t come home without this f—— ring.'”

Davis won his only NBA championship to date when the Lakers defeated the Miami Heat in the 2020 NBA Finals. The games were played in September and October of that year after the season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
