AD's Lego Hobby: Contract Talks Brick by Brick
29 Apr
Summary
- Anthony Davis has a surprising hobby: building Legos.
- This hobby allegedly caused him to miss contract extension calls.
- He was traded from the Lakers to the Mavericks, then to the Wizards.
Anthony Davis, who has yet to play for the Washington Wizards, shared a surprising detail about his personal life on the "Glass Half Full" podcast. He revealed that his hobby of building Legos is so absorbing that it caused him to miss calls from his agent, Rich Paul. These missed calls pertained to significant contract extensions.
It is understood that Davis signed a five-year, $190 million extension in 2020 and a subsequent three-year, $175 million extension in 2023, both with the Los Angeles Lakers. His professional journey has been dynamic, with the Lakers trading him to the Dallas Mavericks in February 2025. His tenure with the Mavericks was affected by injuries and instability, leading to another trade to the Wizards a year later.
As of 2026, Davis is now part of the Washington Wizards organization. The team is aiming for a leap forward next season. They plan to pair the 10-time All-Star with Trae Young, build around a solid young core, and utilize a guaranteed top-5 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
