NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal has claimed that New Orleans Pelicans' Anthony Davis is the best power forward in the game.
The 22-year-old has been named an NBA All-Star twice in his first three seasons in the league and averaged 24.3 points per game for the Pelicans in the last campaign.
O'Neil has admitted that he has told his son Shareef to model his game by watching Davis.
He is quoted as saying by the New Orleans Times-Picayune: "I told him to watch Anthony because he's probably going to be the same height and have the same type of build. Not skinny, but long.
"He's probably the best at that position. He can run, rebound, dominate take over games. He's going to do his thing this year."
Davis signed a lucrative $145m (£93m) five-year deal with the Pelicans earlier in the off-season.
