LeBron James’ first year in LA did not go as expected. He signed with LA in the summer of 2018 and hoped to return the historic franchise back to where it belongs. Injuries riddled the 2018-2019 season, but regardless James and the Lakers brass knew changes needed to be made.
So, LA traded for superstar Anthony Davis and immediately created the best duo in the league and a championship-caliber team.
The rest of the following season is history; however, things haven’t been smooth sailing for the purple and gold since winning the chip. Injuries, off-the-court, and on-the-court drama have been roadblocks to becoming a championship team again. Nonetheless, one thing has stayed consistent, the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Davis and James have been teammates for four seasons, and their relationship has only strengthened. Don’t believe all those other reports you’ve heard; take Davis’ word for it. He told Lakers insider Dave McMenamin that their relationship has never been better.
“Me and Bron have one of the best relationships I think in the NBA as far as duos or teammates, regardless,” Davis said. “But they don’t see that. They don’t see the stuff we do off the court and time we hang out with each other. They see on-court stuff.”
A lot was made of Davis’ body language when James became the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. He seemed distant from the celebration and came off as selfish in videos that went viral online. The 2020 champion said he was more focused on the crucial game against the Thunder, in which they were down and ended up losing.
Anyone who thought Davis had malicious intent doesn’t understand the relationship between the duo. Before they became Laker teammates, they had known each other from being teammates at the 2012 London Olympics.
Davis came to the Lakers as a 26-year-old superstar who did not have too much success in the postseason and has grown and learned from one of the greatest basketball players to ever lace them up.
In the league’s history, a team has always needed a big two to lead the charge, and your LA Lakers have just that in James and Davis. The big two aren’t done yet, though, as they plan to come back full strength and show they are a force to be reckoned with.
