Over the course of his eight-year career, Anthony Davis has made the NBA playoffs just two times: once in 2015 and again in 2018. In both instances, the New Orleans Pelicans were the lower seed. In fact, prior to this season, Davis had never finished higher than sixth in the Western Conference.
This season, Davis has helped lead the Los Angeles Lakers climb back to the top of the Western Conference for the first time in a decade and the expectations for both him and the team are as high as they've ever been.
