To return to Anthony Davis's last experience with the US national team, we have to go back ten years, to the 2014 World Cup in Spain, when the current Lakers player was completing his second year in the NBA with the New Orleans Pelicans. He was already one of the best young stars in the competition.

However, it wasn't his first international experience. Davis made his debut for Team USA when he hadn't even set foot in the NBA. After completing his only NCAA year with the prestigious University of Kentucky, then-coach Mike Krzyzewski decided to take the rookie with the big boys.

That year, Davis not only won the NCAA National Championship, but also shared in his first Olympic gold with the United States at the 2012 London Olympics, a team made up of superstars like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and James Harden, among many others. A virtually unbeatable combination.

At 31 years old and ten years after his last call-up to Team USA, Anthony Davis can consider himself lucky. In fact, He is actually part of a select group in which only he exists.In his first three years, the center won an NCAA title and two gold medals with the United States. The only thing missing was the finishing touch: an NBA championship, a title he added to his resume in the eighth season of his career, his first with the Los Angeles Lakers.

to continue without defeat

Now, after twelve seasons in the elite, Davis will play for Team USA for the third time, already a veteran and without losing a game for the North American team.

Of the current squad, only Stephen Curry and the Lakers have not lost a single game while defending for the U.S. national team. Curry has won 17 straight games with the senior team, though he has only done so in two World Cups. Anthony Davis, for his part, has a streak of 16 wins without a loss.

If he wins the Olympic gold medal in Paris, Both Curry and Davis will be in the top 10 undefeated players for Team USA..
