The Brow put on a show for his hometown fans in New Orleans.
Anthony Davis broke the single-game record for points in an NBA All-Star Game. The previous record stood for 55 years - 42 points by Wilt Chamberlain in 1962.
Davis finished with 52 points, easily grabbing his first All-Star MVP award.
Prior to Sunday, only four players had actually scored 40 points or more in any All-Star Game - Chamberlain, Paul George and Russell Westbrook in 2016, and Michael Jordan in 1988.
