First NBA Championship (2020) Davis contributed the first seven seasons of his NBA career to the New Orleans franchise but had only two playoff appearances and 13 total post- season games to show for it. In 2019, Davis requested that he be traded, and he was dealt to a Lebron James-led Lakers team before the start of the new season. L.A. was the best team in the Western Conference that season and marched through the playoffs to the Finals. There, Davis averaged 25 points and 10.7 rebounds per game to win the NBA championship over Miami in six games.

Davis was a monster throughout the 2020 NBA playoffs, but was especially good in the Finals, as the highlights in this video demonstrate.
