Nobody who has ever suited up for the Raptors has ever worked harder than Antonio Davis.

The guy absolutely left everything he had on the floor every single night.

He was only 6-foot-9 but was forced to play centre and compete against legitimate 7-foot guys every game.

In his six seasons as a Raptor, Davis averaged 12.9 points along with 9.2 rebounds per game.

However, his most telling stat was his 34.9 minutes per game over 310 games as a Raptor. The guy just didn’t want to leave for the floor for any reason what so ever.

Any player who puts on a Raptors jersey should be forced to watch old games of Davis when he was a member of the Raptors so they can understand what type of effort is expected in order to win in the NBA.
