Brazil v USA

Basketball players are often compared to well… other basketball players.  Apparently Nene plays a lot of old-school video games because he had a totally different comparison for Anthony Davis.

Last Saturday night the Brazilian center was in Chicago playing for his national team and finding it impossible to stop Anthony Davis, who had 20 points on one end of the court and four blocks at the other. Davis was the best player on the court, looking like a guy ready to break out at the World Cup.

So Nene, what was it like to play against Anthony Davis? (Asked by NBA.com’s Steve Aschburner):

“He looked like Dhalsim,” Nene said.

Who?

“Dhalsim. The street fighter. Like a cartoon. With both hands. He was catching everything. Yeah.”
