I see. However, this player, Bryant Johnson, has something in common with TWO Lakers.
The correct answer (name) has something (glaringly obvious) in common with ONE Laker.

Two things:

1. I am curious to know if anybody else is researching this. Give a little shout out if you don't mind.
2. SmokeyJoe, and others: the fact that I could not answer the question you asked should tell you a LOT!

Another thing: Smokey, you may not realize, but by your question earlier, you are more than warm. I would even say, Hot!

QUESTION 8

There are 94 players listed on the All-Time 49ers roster who have the same last name as that of an American President.

One of them, and only one, has something glaringly and obviously in common with a very well-known, very high-scoring L.A. Laker.

NAME THAT NINER!

Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis – OT – 2010-2014, 16 – Rutgers

Anthony Nathaniel Davis is an American former professional football player who was an offensive tackle for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and was selected by the 49ers in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Davis was listed as the No. 1 offensive tackle prospect in the nation. He was also listed as the top prospect coming out of high school in the nation. He was also regarded as the top prospect from New Jersey and received over 50 scholarship offers, he chose Rutgers over Ohio State, becoming the first No. 1 prospect from New Jersey to sign with head coach Greg Schiano at Rutgers, and the highest rated since Nate Robinson in 2003.

Davis was drafted in the first round with the 11th overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers after the 49ers traded up from the 13th overall pick with the Denver Broncos in order to select Davis. On July 30, 2010, Davis signed a five-year contract worth $37.5 million, with $15.95 million guaranteed.

At the end of the 2012 season, Davis and the 49ers appeared in Super Bowl XLVII. He started in the game, but the 49ers fell to the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 34–31.

On June 5, 2015, Davis announced he would not be playing during the 2015 season, stating he wanted time to "let his brain and body heal". He vowed a return after the break, however, claiming he wanted to return as the best right tackle in the league.

ChaunceyGardner: How on EARTH did you know?

GREAT JOB MAN!

There's no former US President with the last name of Davis unless we're counting the Confederacy.

In the event anyone might still be stooped:
The KEY to this question lies in one simple word. No word was omitted to throw you off. No word was added to throw you off.
That key word is

American

An American President and a U.S. President, in this case, are not the same. [BUT, A US President and an American President are the same]

That American President is

Jefferson Davis
President of the Confederate States of America.

SmokeyJoe, my post beneath your last post explains it.

Well that answers my question.

My target audience, mostly, was those with a keen eye on the NBA and specifically the Lakers.
PLUS, I figured somebody would think twice about the fact I used "American President" instead of U.S. President, and figure something was up with that.

My educational background would never let me get this question correct, haha.

Well, I disagree.
You eventually did consider the President of the Confederacy.
Also, you were keen to the fact it was a current Laker. I could not confirm that because it would have simply narrowed
down the choices to what, 12 guys?
Then, anybody could have guessed it was Davis.
