It is not unusual for professional athletes to make extravagant or head-scratching purchases. Terrell Owens was once the proud owner of a bingo hall. Mike Tyson owned three tigers. Deshawn Stevenson bought an ATM for his kitchen. So what did Anthony Davis buy with some of his earnings? A pet monkey of course.
Davis’ pet choice is a marmoset named Meek. He has owned it for some time, but was asked yesterday if he made any crazy purchases with his NBA millions.
Davis was nonchalant about the addition:
Anthony Davis : “I never bought anything crazy ” Ernie Johnson: “Didn’t you buy a monkey? ” Davis: “Uh yeah. I guess I did “
