Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis admits he had a moment this season where it hit him that he's actually playing for the Lakers.

Davis spoke to Jarrel Harris of Sports Illustrated about it:

JH: What does the Lakers brand mean to you? Have you had any moments this season where it hit you like man this is special?

AD: That is crazy that you asked that because I was at the arena yesterday and during the game, during one of the timeouts it happened and I was just looking around and I have always been playing so I never really had a chance to really take it all in. So the timeout was going on and I am looking around the arena and the Staples Center, I am looking at the banners and everything and I told one of my teammates, Quinn Cook, I tapped him during the huddle while coach was talking and I said ‘Man this is crazy, it just hit me that I am a Laker.” He was like for real? I was like yeah it just hit me that I am a Laker. So that happened last night [laughs].
