Anthony Davis Is the NBA’s Amazon

The NBA trade deadline has officially closed as of 3 p.m. today and the most important question in the basketball league right now is: What city will New Orleans Pelicans All-Star power forward Anthony Davis end up in?

In that respect, Anthony Davis is Amazon, and like Amazon did in 2017, he has announced that he wants a new city home. And also like Amazon, Davis has inspired a whole genre of similes and metaphors to describe his largeness and largesse, a great deal of which I will indulge to death in the following paragraphs. I promise this won’t be like when that guy wrote that Tom Brady is just like Jimi Hendrix, or when your local Patch outlet called your neighbor’s new app “like Uber but for Dungeons & Dragons.” No, unlike other metaphor-based columns, this one will be spot-on. Indulge me.
