SHARE Anthony Davis rocks a Blackhawks hat on ESPN

It’s been a big week, big year for Anthony Davis. The Pelicans forward has quietly put together some numbers that should place his name in any intelligent MVP discussion.

The Chicago native had another one of those games on Tuesday when he posted 25 points, 10 rebounds, six steals, four assists and four blocks in leading the Pelicans past the Thunder 114-106 on a night when reigning MVP Kevin Durant returned for Oklahoma.

The country is beginning to take notice, as Davis’ emerging stardom landed him on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week.

The best part of all this: AD hasn’t forgotten his roots. (The same can’t be said for ESPN’s Steve Levy. Read on.) Check out the reaction on Twitter as Davis rocks a Blackhawks lid on Tuesday night’s SportsCenter:
