Lakers star Anthony Davis explains why he didn’t choose No. 80

Anthony Davis has been gifted jersey numbers by LeBron James and “NBA 2k”. However, the former New Orleans Pelicans star, who traded to the Los Angeles Lakers this summer, decided to use No. 3 instead. AD turned to none other than a video game to help him navigate the path forward. "Honestly," Davis told Jimmy Kimmel this week, "I just chose No. 3 -- I went on '2K,' the video game .. so I'm literally in my living room, on the video game, going to myself, 'Edit Player,' and I'm going through all the numbers. It was my elementary school number -- first number I ever played basketball in," he said. "I saw No. 3, and I was like, this takes me back to the elementary school where it all started." Davis isn't still a little upset he couldn't have made his Lakers debut in No. 23. "We went to dinner, the first time we went to dinner since the trade happened, and (LeBron) was, like, 'Man, look, here's 23,'" Davis recalled. "I was like, 'Oh, wow, thank you, LeBron.'... (But Nike said) 'we don't care who you guys are; that's too much money.' So I was a little hurt."
