LeBron James can't wait for Anthony Davis to be “unleashed” after an injury-riddled season that ended in the Lakers missing the playoffs.
His ability to give multiple efforts defensively is key,” Ham said. The Lakers star took to Instagram Thursday to seemingly defend his teammate against naysayers, writing, “Get It Twisted if you want too! I’m due time he’ll remind you once again why he’s HIM!!! And I can’t wait for it to be unleashed!
Golden State Warriors player Steph Curry, though, takes the No. 2 spot for talent demand, according to Parrot Analytics.

After criticism was leveled at Anthony Davis for his offseason plans, LeBron James stepped up to defend his teammate via social media on Wednesday.
So stop citing Mamba Mentality and let the man live so that this very dumb talking point ceases to exist. Equally as insane is that LeBron felt the need to defend his big man on I simply trusted that a man who is in the 1% of the 1% when it comes to his craft probably knows better than I.
The Los Angeles Lakers had a season to forget. Despite boasting a roster stacked with multiple former All-Stars and superstars like LeBron James, Anthony.
The Lakers have two of the biggest superstars of the league on their team whom they can either contend for a championship or trade for promising future assets. The Los Angeles Lakers had a season to forget. 'The Brow' clearly had a season to forget.
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James said he can't wait for Anthony Davis to return to his dominant self.
But a few days later, the forward appeared to be back in between the hoops, working out with shooting coach Chris Matthews — known as Lethal Shooter. The Lakers seem determined to make Davis the focal point of their play on both ends of the floor — just as he was during the 2019-20 championship season. On Wednesday, James posted a video of Davis’ highlight plays to remind fans about the 28-year-old’s skills.
James took to Instagram to post a highlight reel of Davis and emphasize that he has big expectations for the Lakers big man in 2022-23. The Lakers superstar ...
LeBron is going to be LeBron. Russ is going to be Russ, but we need consistency out of Anthony Davis. We need him to be healthy.

LeBron James has heard the Anthony Davis slander and is not having any of it as the Los Angeles Lakers look to bounce back next season. Here is a look at James’ Instagram post that has Lakers fans buzzing. “And I can’t wait for it to be unleashed!
Anthony Davis has rarely been healthy the last two years for the Lakers. However, here's what LeBron James recently had to say to his haters.
To summarize all of this: Davis is rarely as healthy as he was in 2019-20. He has never played 82 games in his career and has only appeared in 70-plus twice. Those numbers dropped to 17.4 points and 6.6 rebounds in the postseason. He also made an efficient 57.1% of his field-goal attempts and 38.3% of his three-pointers. Davis averaged just 21.8 points and 7.9 rebounds in 2020-21. He averaged 26.1 points and 9.3 rebounds during the regular season and shot 50.3% from the field and 33.0% from long range. This past year, The Brow recorded 23.2 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, and he made 53.2% of his shots. Davis helped James win his fourth championship, but he hasn’t been healthy longer than three minutes each of the last two seasons. Davis has become one of the worst outside shooters in the league, making only 18.6% of his three-point attempts this season. Since that 2019-20 season, the 29-year-old has competed in a combined 76 regular-season games, and his stats haven’t been nearly as impressive. Many critics have doubted Anthony Davis throughout the past several months. Like that tweet, his recent comment might just be wishful thinking.

Continuing to find different ways to lead. then when it comes time to taking advantage of an opportunity, things click.” StatMuse: Fun fact: StephCurry won 3 MVP awards this season.
Anthony Davis has been more top-of-mind for Lakers fans lately and it's not for a good reason. In a recent video, Davis admitted that he hadn't shot a ...
LeBron, the Lakers front office, and new head coach Darvin Ham are definitely banking on AD playing close to a full season for the first time since his 2017-2018 in New Orleans. Which, isn't exactly what Lakers fans wanted to hear especially after Davis missed 42 games this year due to injury. In a recent video, Davis admitted that he hadn't shot a basketball in months.
LeBron James had a stern message in one of his recent social media posts. Here's why ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith didn't like it.
Anthony Davis showed how dangerous he and LeBron James can be in 2020. But he hasn’t been fully healthy since then, and perhaps he is already past his best years. So, James recently defended AD to all his doubters by writing a passionate Instagram post in which he essentially said Davis will remind everyone why he’s one of the top players in the league next season. He continued: “He sat up there with all the critics, ‘Keep the same energy. He, however, deleted the tweet, which was probably for the best considering it aged like milk in a hot car. ‘Keep the same energy.’ … His tweets don’t work.
Stephen A Smith goes on LONG rant on Anthony Davis after LeBron James puts up post hyping up Lakers star.
But, in the last two seasons especially, it’s like he just can’t stay off the hospital bed. Heck, the man almost even stole the Finals MVP award from the King in those Finals. We know, the existence of Unicorns sounds more realistic, but it’s true.
Amid constant roster turnover and organizational flubs, the Lakers need their two cornerstones to be productive, and most importantly, on the floor this ...
James has missed 61 combined games across the past two seasons, while Davis has missed a whopping 88. That’s a far cry from the 1455 mark they accrued in 2019. It’s been over two months since that moment, which marked the last time James assisted on a Davis bucket — an occurrence that happened only 31 times this past season. The action that helped win the Lakers their most recent championship still worked. And in the instant a second deterrent obscured his path to the rim, James seamlessly fired a behind-the-back pass towards his big-man. What was once a microcosm of basketball nirvana had since been soured by compounding injuries and underperformance.
