But now it has. Today, the Los Angeles Athletic Club announced that Anthony Davis has won the John R. Wooden award for National Player of the Year.

Davis won the AP player of the year award on Friday, and also has been named player of the year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches and received the Adolph Rupp Trophy.
