Anthony Davis: New Orleans offered me a crazy deal at the time. Like it's not even about the money. Like I genuinely want to win. And so now because I want to win, I'm considered a villain to this team and to this fan base. And to this day, I go back and they still boo me, right? Draymond Green: And that's why they still losing. You don't boo the best player in your franchise history. You appreciate him. Davis: I’mma tell you what got me though. And you say that best player in franchise history like points, rebounds, blocks, like all this. You know what's crazy? When I went back, I did not get a tribute. And that was the final straw. Green: Get the f*ck out of here!!! Davis: Never got a tribute. I didn't get a tribute.
