Anthony Davis Had Such a Strange Reaction to LeBron James' Record-Breaking Shot

AD didn't seem all that impressed or happy.

In this story:

LeBron James made NBA history Tuesday night as his fadeaway jump shot in the closing seconds of the third quarter made him the NBA's all-time leading scorer, breaking a record that former Laker great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar held for nearly 39 years. 

There was a big celebration on the court after the shot fell through the hoop and LeBron closed out the party by dropping a very clear F-bomb on live TV before the game between the Thunder and Lakers restarted.

But it seemed like one of his teammates wasn't all that pumped when the record-breaking shot was made. I don't know what was going on with Anthony Davis but this video of him during that moment is pretty weird:

Very strange, right? He barely seemed interested in the moment. 

I don't know what was going on there but AD did record this congratulatory message: 

Very odd.
