Anthony Davis just made baseball money.
In other words, he just got paid a ridiculously high amount of money. Are these players ever worth the crazy-contracts handed to them? As a smart man once said, “you’re worth what they give you“.
Regardless, head coach Alvin Gentry isn’t paying a dime of the $145mil just promised to Davis; so you know he believes that the player is worth whatever amount of money it takes to retain him.
To celebrate the massive extension, Gentry and Davis did it the only way a couple bosses know how – chauffeurs and steak dinners.
The best part about the video is Alvin Gentry’s response to how he’s feeling after locking Davis up long-term.
TMZ writes,
Davis and New Orleans Pelicans honcho Alvin Gentry hit up Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills … along with Anthony’s family. You can tell from the video, the whole fam is PUMPED!!!!
But not nearly as excited as Gentry — who told our photog he feels GRRRREEAAAT … after inking a deal that will keep the 22-year-old in New Orleans for the next 5 years.
