2. LeBron James
You can’t talk about all the things that can attract Anthony Davis to Los Angeles without discussing the force of LeBron James. LeBron’s name carries such tremendous weight in the NBA community and in the world for that matter.
James is set up extremely well for long-term success in the business world once he decides to hang it up and he could rub some of that expertise onto the next Laker great, Anthony Davis.
AD got to see first-hand this season what magic he and LeBron James can create together. As many fans have said, the tandem of Davis and James has provided glimpses of the early 2000s with Shaq and Kobe. This time, though, there is a vastly different dynamic in terms of the relationship.
It’s very apparent that LeBron James and Anthony Davis have a tremendous amount of mutual respect for each other. At this point, it seems as if LeBron treats AD as an equal in their efforts to win the NBA title.
This is arguably the first time since his Miami days where LeBron has had zero issues with his co-star. This relationship will continue for at least a few more years in Los Angeles and AD can reap the benefits.
With LeBron James and Anthony Davis in tow, the Los Angeles Lakers might be able to add some more championship banners to the Staples Center rafters.
