LeBron James defends Anthony Davis after Lakers loss

LeBron James did not hesitate to show his support for Anthony Davis after the Los Angeles Lakers’ victory over the Phoenix Suns in the debut of the 2023/24 NBA season. Prior to this game, the Lakers had lost to the Denver Nuggets, the reigning league champion. Many fans of the team criticized Davis’ performance in that first game, which did not go unnoticed by LeBron.

In an interview after the win against the Suns, LeBron came out in defense of his teammate and made it clear that they don’t care about the criticism of Davis. In addition, he highlighted that Davis focuses exclusively on training and games, so he does not pay attention to what is said about him on social networks.

AD doesn’t care. He’s not on social media, so he doesn’t see any nonsense. He rarely talks unless he’s to us, so we don’t care and he definitely doesn’t. He just goes out and does his job, and we’re happy to have AD,” LeBron explained.

The Lakers’ first two games were not easy, facing the Nuggets in the first game and then the Suns. In the game against the Nuggets, LeBron had a good performance, but it was not enough to win. For his part, Davis had a discreet performance, which generated criticism from fans.
