Anthony Davis watches cartoons

too young to party
Anthony Davis Sr. has received frequent late-night phone calls from his son Anthony Jr. this season. They usually come during New Orleans Pelicans road trips, when many of Davis’ teammates have left the hotel to enjoy the nightlife.
“He’ll just say ‘Hey, the guys went out, and I’m back in my room watching cartoons,” Davis Sr. said with a chuckle. “He still loves his cartoons.”
Given all he has accomplished — a national title at Kentucky, an Olympic gold medal, becoming a No. 1 draft pick — it is hard to believe that Anthony Davis is still just 20 years old. Still too young to go out with teammates. Still watching his cartoons.
In just his second pro season, the 6-foot-10 forward is already one of the league’s elite big men, and it seems increasingly likely that he will become one of its transcendent stars. Davis is one of just four players averaging at least 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, and on Sunday in New Orleans he will play in his first NBA All-Star game.
“Here he is, just 20, and he’s like the franchise player of this organization,” Davis Sr. said by telephone. “He’s growing up so quickly.”
Davis was not initially named to the All-Star team, and Davis Sr. said his son was let down by the omission. It was partly because he felt deserving, but mostly because he wanted his city — the host city — to be represented.
But as Davis sat in his New Orleans home and ate lunch with his parents last Friday, Pelicans coach Monty Williams called and told him he had been selected to replace Kobe Bryant, who will miss the game because of an injury.
“He was so excited,” Davis Sr. said. “We were all excited. For my wife and I to be able to experience this with him, words can’t describe how it feels.”
We all figured Davis would eventually blossom, but I’m not sure how many realized it would happen this quickly. He has improved in every statistical category since last season and he leads the NBA in blocked shots, helping New Orleans to a respectable 23-29 record in the unforgiving Western Conference.

May he never want to go out and party. This I pray to Tyresus.

Tyresus will probably throw him a party with strippers on his 21st birthday, if his all star party was any indication.

There's a generational gap when it comes to watching cartoons as an adult. Those of us in the 35 and under crowd (I'm 30) grew up with some amazing shows, so it's just natural to us. I actually own the complete series box set of the 90's Batman cartoon.

It's the same way with video games. We just grew up in that generation. In 30 as well and still enjoy a good cartoon.

definitely is. My brother and cousin who are in their early 30s still play games. I'm in my early 20s and I'm playing games as well. Grew up on NES->SNES->PS->PS2->Computer games and now computer/phone games

It's really not an awful record when you look at the injury issues we've had all year.

This is just straight up false.
Archer (Coach McGuirk came first, though)
Venture Bros
Aqua Teen Hunger Force has admittedly run its course
Chozen
Adventure Time
Regular Show
I miss Chowder
Then you have less humor oriented stuff like the Avatar series.
