New Orleans’ Anthony Davis claimed one of the greatest individual honors of his NBA career Sunday evening by earning the 2017 All-Star Game’s MVP award, but the effort for him to do so was clearly a team effort.
Davis set the midseason classic’s all-time scoring record by pouring 52 points.
“Kawhi was saying, ‘Six more points,’ ” Davis noted, after the West’s 192-182 victory in the Smoothie King Center, home of Davis and the Pelicans.
