What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnthony Davis finally debuts for the Wizards, two hundred fifty-seven days after the trade, and drops thirty-four in a one hundred twenty-eight to one hundred sixteen win over the Bucks.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThirty-four is a lot, right? Because the Wizards had to wait so long for it, it sounds like they saved up.

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's the best sentence anyone's said on this desk.

  4. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSaved up. It ties Antawn Jamison's debut from November third, two thousand four, and I'm telling you, that record waited twenty-two years for company.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the record was lonely and now it has a roommate.

  6. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorFans were chanting MVP before the first quarter ended, in a game he'd waited two hundred fifty-seven days to play.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwo hundred fifty-seven days and the first thing he did was match a guy from two thousand four.
