Anthony Davis gets upset over Caitlin Clark

Carter is precisely responsible for a violent controversy a few weeks ago, after a gratuitous blow to the player during an action.

A shameful gesture which sparked quite a few reactions on social networks .

In a recent interview, Anthony Davis gave him his support, using his own experiences.

Anthony Davis : “It was a bit of the same thing for me when I arrived in the NBA. Social media didn’t have as much impact 12 years ago, but when I arrived, it was kind of the same thing on a smaller scale.

People are trying to make her the face of the league as a rookie and they’re putting on the pressure. When I arrived, some guys on the team, at the same position, they were offended by my draft. »

“Guys who said, ‘You’re going to take my place.’ Especially since being number 1 in the draft, I was going to be a starter.

So right off the bat, some people have a problem with me. When they don’t even know you.

It’s not your fault. She’s going through something like this, but she’ll be fine. It’s competition. »

There will be better things for Clark, especially once she finds her feet with the Fever.

But as a simple rookie, it’s never easy to manage all this pressure, especially if the other players get involved. It promises for the future.

Anthony Davis gave his support to Caitlin Clark, who also experienced a hostile environment when he arrived in the NBA.

The most important thing is that everything calms down as the weeks go by, especially when the talent takes care of the rest.
