Pelicans’ Anthony Davis Says His DM’s Are Dry

For years, social media – MySpace and Facebook back in the day. Most recently Twitter and Instagram – have become the defacto dating services for many people, including pro athletes.

In a recent ESPN the magazine piece, New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis mentioned that his DM’s are dry. Apparently Davis hasn’t mastered the art of going down in the DM.

“My DMs not popping,” he says in the story. “I don’t know what my problem is.”

I think it’s not going down because Davis is bypassing the option. I’m sure there are a bevy of people who want to get closer to the unibrow via DM.

The piece also featured interviews with some of our favorite DM dating superstars like Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson, Orlando Magic guard Brandon Jennings, Lakers’ Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell and Sixers’ Jahlil Okafor discuss topics like “bird calls” – that’s my name for announcing the city an athlete is arriving in, so the work lines up, The rules for successfully avoiding catfish – FaceTime within 36 hou

Chapter 8, “Computer Love” in my book, PostGame Pass: access into “the life”  is devoted to the topic of athletes connecting using the internet. I even break down the origins of the social media hook up. Get it now on Amazon.
