Never say that Anthony Davis doesn’t have layers.

The Washington Wizards star — who still has yet to play a game for the Wizards — appeared on the “Glass Half Full” podcast with Craig Melvin of “Today” in an episode released Tuesday and was asked if he has a hobby “that would surprise most people.”

His answer: “I love to build legos.”

He then explained his love for legos as caused him to miss calls from his agent Rich Paul regarding not one but two contract extensions:

“It’s funny because my agent called me my last two extensions, and I wasn’t answering the phone. He was like, ‘Man, you just got paid the highest extension in NBA history, and I can’t get ahold of you.’ ‘I'm sorry, I was building Legos. I apologize.’”

If that timeline is correct, we are talking about the five-year, $190 million extension Davis signed in 2020 and the 3-year, $175 million extension he signed in 2023, both with the Los Angeles Lakers. That is a whole lot of Legos.
