Anthony Davis’ tenure with the Dallas Mavericks hasn’t exactly gotten off to a perfect start . Late into Saturday night, the Mavericks sent shockwaves across the basketball world by shipping off Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a three-way trade that netted Dallas Davis . Once the dust had finally settled on the blockbuster deal, the Mavericks social media team celebrated the acquisition of Davis with a now-deleted Instagram post highlighting his career accomplishments.
At the bottom of the graphic captioned "Big fella with the big résumé," he is described as a “2020 NBA Champion, 9x All-Star, 5X All-NBA, 3X Block Champion, 5X All-Defensive Team, 2012 NCAA National Champion, 2012 NCAA Most Outstanding Player, 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist, 2014 World Cup Gold Medalist and 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist.” The post swiftly caught the attention of Davis himself - though for all the wrong reasons. Taking to the comment section, the 31-year-old correctly pointed out that he’s made more than nine All-Star Games.
"***10-time All-Star," he commented, followed by a series of crying laughing emojis. To the Mavericks’ credit, the honest mistake is one that most people would likely make. Davis has in fact only played in nine All-Star Games, but was already selected to partake in this year’s contest - which is set to take place on February 16.
Dallas’ mental gaffe is yet another wild twist in the shocking trade that hardly anybody in the league saw coming - including .
