Last season, Anthony Davis played a pivotal role in helping the Dallas Mavericks make the Play-In Tournament. His play down the stretch helped Dallas secure the final play-in spot. Davis averaged a double-double with 24.3 points per game and 12 rebounds over the final four games of the regular season. He was also a major contributor in Dallas' second play-in game against the Memphis Grizzlies (which they ultimately lost), as he scored 40 points and pulled down nine rebounds.
So, it's obvious Davis was a major contributor despite the constant disrespect that NBA fans throw his way.
