Close your eyes for a second and imagine Anthony Davis taking on his fellow celebrity competition in Dancing With the Stars. If you're having trouble even picturing it, you're not alone. But, it could've happened. All Davis needed to do was say "yes." 

Recently, TMZ Sports caught up with the New Orleans Pelicans star power forward and the Kings' Ben McLemore and discussed the possibility of Magic Johnson becoming the next host of Celebrity Apprentice and where they would like to invest their money. Then, the conversation transitioned over to reality television where Davis made an interesting revelation: he turned down an opportunity to appear on Dancing With the Stars. He followed that up by explaining why he nixed the invite and you know what, it makes a lot of sense. Skip ahead to the 1:14 mark to hear Anthony's reasoning.
