Every matchup with Antetokounmpo means a little more for Davis. The two have been compared for years as the league’s two premier power forwards. Since the Lakers’ 2020 championship, Antetokounmpo has ascended to a different level and outplayed Davis in their recent battles. Last season, Antetokounmpo averaged 45.5 points and 11.5 rebounds, and Davis averaged 20 points and nine rebounds in the two head-to-head matchups.
“You guys know how I feel about the Pack and him,” Davis said. “So, I saw before the game. He was like, ‘AD, man, I’m going to need 30 tonight.’ And then I just saw him, he said, ‘I only said 30. Not 40.’ So, it’s always good for him to come out and watch the Lakers play, watch me play. He’s a fan just how I’m a fan of his.”
