Anthony Davis made headlines last night by shattering Wilt Chamberlain's All-Star Game scoring record.
Davis scored 52 points, beating Chamberlain's record by 10, and earning MVP honors for the game. He became the home-town hero, doing it in front of the Pelicans crowd in New Orleans.
On top of the historic game and the MVP performance, Davis got himself a new teammate...DeMarcus Cousins was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans shortly after the game.
The two former Wildcats will be teaming up to make the best frontcourt pairing in the NBA.

This was from Cousins' manager. It's always stressful for the player and those around him following a trade, especially when you're temporarily in the city you've been traded to.
