Anthony Davis on Almost Quitting Basketball, “The Brow” | Glass Half Full

NBA Champion and All-Star Anthony Davis joins Craig Melvin on Glass Half Full for an unfiltered look at his journey from Chicago to the top of the basketball world. Davis shares the story of his 7-inch growth spurt in high school and the moment his father stopped him from quitting the game altogether. He also opens up about his current chapter with the Washington Wizards, his ambition to play 20 seasons, and what it’s really like chasing defensive awards in the new era of the NBA’s 65-game rule. In this episode, Davis pulls back the curtain on his life off the court, from his massive LEGO collection to his new TBS prank show, Foul Play. And he discusses his honest struggle with trying to be a "perfect father" while balancing an elite career.
