NEW ORLEANS, LA – FEBRUARY 23: Anthony Davis
With all the high number off All-Stars switching teams this summer (and the ones that are apparently about to), it’s seemingly been forgotten that the Pelicans shocked the league by acquiring DeMarcus Cousins to pair with Anthony Davis last year. And with an offseason and training camp to perfect the fit of the two star big men, fans in New Orleans are excited, even if no one else appears to be.
One of these excited fans is Chris Trew (@christrew). Chris is a comedy and wrestling promoter who writes about the NBA for Uproxx.com and Pelicans.com, and also has a seat in the Smoothie King Center right behind the visitor bench. He joins the latest episode of Fastbreak Breakfast to share his mostly unbridled optimism along with some of his favorite interactions with opposing players.
