When did Anthony Davis become a Packers fan?
Davis told FanSided in November 2021 that football was never his thing until he reached the NBA. In his words, "guys were like you got to have a team. I knew some guys from the Packers and just became a fan." So the attachment dates to his pro career, not his childhood.
That sits a little oddly with where he comes from. Davis was born in Chicago, Illinois, and Sportskeeda described him in November 2024 as a "Chicago native" who is a Green Bay Packers fan, a choice it said is often criticized by NBA fans. HotNewHipHop reported in January 2020 that his favorite player is Aaron Rodgers, and EssentiallySports noted in January 2024 that a video of him confessing his love for the Packers alongside a Lakers teammate had surfaced online.
