New Orleans Pelicans beat Charlotte Hornets 125-122 in an OT thriller on Saturday behind Anthony Davis’ monster stat-line of 46 points and 21 rebounds. Davis shot spectacularly well on his 24th birthday as he went 18/31 from the field and 4/5 from long-range. This win will act as a morale booster for the Pelicans as they have been struggling to win games ever since the DeMarcus Cousins trade went down. [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/960-300x194.jpg]Boogie and Davis have been struggling to play together as a team. Another major factor in today’s win for Pelicans was the benching of DeMarcus Cousins early in the fourth quarter as he had five personal fouls. He ended the game with 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. This win is a testament to the fact that DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis playing together is not working out for the Pelicans and they might have some restructuring to do. Both these big men have to learn to play together keeping in mind the larger team interest which is winning games. 

On his 24th birthday, Anthony Davis came in firing on all cylinders putting up a
shooting montage in Pelicans' OT win over Charlotte Hornets.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Anthony Davis: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</strong></h2>
Anthony Davis currently plays for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-los-angeles-lakers-full-roster/">Los Angeles Lakers</a> in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He started his career in the league with New Orleans Pelicans, or New Orleans Hornets as it was known then.

Born March 11, 1993, Davis became the 2012 NBA Draft's first overall pick after just one season of college basketball for the University of Kentucky. Moreover, it just took him one more year to become an NBA all-star.

Mandatory Credit: Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

He made his first playoff appearance in 2015. In the next season, he signed a five-year, $145 million contract extension with the Pelicans. However, a few months into the season, Davis' season ended due to shoulder and knee injuries.

Davis has several tattoos on his body, a few visible while playing ball. Notably, he has a tattoo of Mamba as a tribute to<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kobe-bryant/"> Kobe Bryant</a>.
<h2><strong>Anthony Davis and Los Angeles Lakers</strong></h2>
After Magic Johnson brought in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/">LeBron James</a> to the Lakers, he also made attempts to bring Anthony Davis to LA. After failing to sign him during the 2018/19 season, Davis requested a trade with the Pelicans. In the following off-season, the Lakers signed Davis to form an enviable duo of James and Davis. Together, they led the Lakers to the franchise's 17th NBA championship in 2020. It was Davis's first championship.

Ever since that victory, Davis' career has been marred due to multiple injuries. Despite a disappointing season in which the Lakers missed the Playoffs, the front office hopes that the team can make a comeback. Given how successful his partnership with LeBron James has been, AD will hope to add more championships and laurels to his trophy cabinet. Although the last couple of seasons have been injury prone for him, a terrific comeback is on the cards.
