Sorry for the disturbance amid the parade of U.S. basketball royalty, but where’s Anthony Davis? LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and the endless stream of umpteen-time All-Stars were at postgame interview sessions with reporters, but Davis couldn’t be tracked down. Turned out he already had gone into the locker room, figuring nobody wanted to talk to him. Why would they? He’s a footnote, an asterisk after all the bold type and exclamation points in the oft-breathless coverage by international media of the U.S. team.
