Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers have had a rough season. He has been injured during several stretches of this season and thehe Lakers failed to make the playoffs. Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, have dominated the West and made the NBA Finals this year.
The Warriors and Lakers faced off 4 times during the regular season. However, this was not an even matchup. The Warriors won 3 out of the 4 encounters. Anthony Davis, frustrated with Steph and his antics decided to get back at Curry in the only way possible. Virtually, through a Grand theft auto game.

Anthony Davis executed Stephen Curry in a video game
The NBA may be a brotherhood. The athletes may consider each other colleagues. However, AD decided to release his cold-blooded feelings towards Steph in a very calm and non-violent form. He simply opened up his GTA game and found a player wearing a Curry jersey. Davis was asked by another gamer “you wanna shoot him“. He responded with a simple “yup” and moved on to execute the Curry-look alike at the soonest.
One cannot help but find this situation both amusing and a little sad. Was Anthony Davis really so vulnerable towards Stephen Curry and the Warriors? to the extent that he would seek solace and peace through a video game.
Anthony Davis did not play in the only game LeBron James and the Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors. Therefore, this makes his frustration all the more amusing. However, in all fairness, that win for the Lakers required LeBron to score a monster 56 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists. This may have been something that King James might not have been able to do if Davis had been on the court.
At the end of the day, all of this is amusing but it is highly unlikely that Anthony Davis harbors homicidal feelings towards Stephen Curry. However, considering what Curry does to him on the court, he can’t be blamed for his actions.
