Anthony Davis is about to represent his country in the Paris Olympics and is eager to come home with a gold medal.
No matter what happens in the big games, Davis has done everything in the world of basketball.
As pointed out by Yahoo Sports, Davis is the only player to win a FIBA Basketball World Cup, an Olympic gold medal, an NCAA title, and an NBA championship.
Davis is unquestionably one of the most talented and decorated NBA players in the league today.

Davis won his NCAA championship first, back in 2012 when he was playing for the Kentucky Wildcats.
He then helped the Americans earn the top prize at the 2012 London Olympics before also going for gold at the 2014 World Cup.
Finally, he claimed an NBA championship in 2020.
Davis has done it all and now wants to do it all again.
First up is another run at a medal in Paris, starting next week.
Davis and the Americans have some tough competition, however, and it won’t be a cakewalk to the gold.
There are many international teams that are going to put up quite a fight and they have already had some tough exhibition games that have challenged them more than expected.
Still, Team USA is the odds-on favorite to win it all in Paris.
When the Olympics are over, Davis and his Lakers will face a more difficult task: winning another title in the NBA.
They are a long way from being championship contenders but with a new coach and a couple of new additions, they might be looking better than they were last season.
