Highlights from Anthony Davis’ final high school game – including a poster dunk:
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Here is an excerpt about Davis from ESPN Chicago:[QUOTE] CHICAGO — People strongly advised Anthony Davis he should transfer from Perspectives for his final season.
Anthony Davis is the nation’s No. 2 rated senior. They told Davis, who had gone from an unknown last spring to ESPN’s No. 2 prospect in the country, because he was such a large draw and so talented he surround himself with better players. They tried to be polite about it, but they let him know his Perspectives teammates weren’t going to get anywhere.
Davis didn’t listen. Perspectives was home. It was where he started and where he would finish his career. Whether or not his teammates had the ability to play on any of the area’s top teams was unimportant. They were his friends when he was just Anthony Davis to now when he was the Anthony Davis. He wasn’t going to abandon them.
The decision cost Davis a chance at experiencing a winning season and competing for a state title. It cost him winning ESPNChicago.com’s and the Chicago Sun-Times’ player of the year honors. It’ll probably cost him Illinois’ Mr. Basketball, too.
