Is AD dead? Is he on life support? He is under 30 right?
Los Angeles Lakers fans, Lake Show Life would like to introduce Anthony Davis. He was involved in a blockbuster trade this summer. There is a rumor that he is a very good player. Some say that he is a top 5 player in the league. Before writing the Lakers off, it is to be advised to check out some of Davis’ handy work this season.
LeBron James gets a lot of airplay in the media. Lake Show Life will let NBA fans in on a little secret.
- LeBron does not lead the Lakers in scoring.
- LeBron does not lead the Lakers in rebounding.
- LeBron is not the Lakers best defender.
- Let’s just be real here. LeBron James is not the best player on the Lakers team.
Anthony Davis is the engine that drives the Lakers success. This doesn’t take away from the MVP worthy performance of James here. But things would be a whole lot different if the trade was not made and the Lakers decided to run it back with the same collection of players.
AD’s dynamic blows the “old” Lakers roster out of the water. The team has gotten to this level because of their defensive intensity. Davis will be your NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Oh by the way, he averages 26 points. 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and a steal.
LeBron James will not see triple teams during the playoffs and the combination of JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard makes the Lakers the biggest team in the NBA along with the oldest.
