Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers might be one of the most explosive players in the league but he is not known for having a fiery, combative attitude.
He actually seems like one of the most laid-back athletes in the NBA.
Not much seems to get under his skin and he stays away from most drama.

There was a prime example of this on Wednesday when Davis was asked about the departure of his former teammate, Russell Westbrook.
When questioned about what Westbrook will bring to his new team, the Los Angeles Clippers, Davis was mostly silent.
“I’m not part of that team. I have no idea,” Davis said.
It’s clear that Davis isn’t giving much thought to Westbrook, the Clippers, or anything but finding success with his Lakers.
That’s good news because he will need to be tuned in and fired up for the remainder of the season if the Lakers hope to make the playoffs.
But Davis’ response has raised a few eyebrows and makes people wonder what the dynamic between Westbrook and Davis was like when they played together.
There have been numerous rumors of dysfunction and conflict inside the Lakers’ locker room throughout the season.
Perhaps Davis’ quiet and reserved response to the question was a result of him not getting along with Westbrook.
Or perhaps it’s just another example of Davis not being a loud, boisterous star and someone who just keeps his opinions to himself.
He has always been brief and to the point no matter what he is talking about.
There is plenty of drama within the NBA but you won’t get a lot of it from Davis.
