Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis had yet to play a single game in the NBA when he traveled to the London Olympics with Team USA in 2012.

The youngster had just been selected with the first pick of the 2012 NBA Draft out of Kentucky,  so it was his first chance to show off for his NBA peers.

However, Davis hilariously wasted that chance and became the butt of jokes from late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

Davis explained during an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols that he and James Harden never saw the floor during the Olympics. The one time he was called upon, he forgot to wear his jersey.

“The Brow” said he went to check in at the scorer's table during a blowout, except he only had a plain, white t-shirt underneath his zip-up.

Davis attempted to hide the embarrassment from his teammates, but the Lakers icon overheard him speaking with head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Kobe then chided Davis for blowing his opportunity and jokingly checked inside the zip-up, a picture which is included in the interview.

Davis laughed off the incident, though he told Nichols he also felt he missed a crucial chance to prove himself.
