ANTHONY Davis’ confidence is sky-high heading into seventh NBA season.
After all, the New Orleans Pelican slotman believes he’s second to none in terms of best players in the game – ahead of fellow Western conference superstars in reigning MVP James Harden and new LA Lakers cornerstone LeBron James.
Davis declared his thoughts in an interview with New Orleans media posted on the Pelicans’ Twitter account, @PelicansNBA on Thursday, Manila time.
"In my eyes, I am the best player in the game. I really feel that way. Nobody can tell me different,” he said.
