Ed Davis: An Appreciation

On Saturday, in Game 1 of the first-round of the playoffs between Philly and Brooklyn, Ed Davis outrebounded Joel Embiid, 16-15. If that sentence surprises you, you aren’t alone...but you haven’t been paying attention. And who can blame you? In sports, especially basketball, the hardworking low-drama types don’t get much shine. And there are few in the NBA as hardworking or as low drama as Ed Davis. But to anyone who has followed Ed’s career from Chapel Hill to Brooklyn, that the former Tar Heel had a monster night on the glass against a superstar comes as no shock.
