Anthony Davis Revelas Powerful Message LeBron James Offered Him Ahead of Lakers-Nuggets Series

Anthony Davis has a pretty important message for LeBron James ahead of their showdown with the Denver Nuggets. The Los Angeles Lakers are finally looking like a championship level contender. They are in the Western Conference Finals for the first time in many years. But it did not come without a bit of a fight. They lost both game 1s in the first and second round of the Playoffs. They were eventually able to take care of both Portland Trailblazers and the Houston Rockets in 5 games.

These wins were a team effort. But the 2 superstars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, definitely had the most impact on the team. LeBron has been trying to give a confidence boost to Davis since the NBA bubble started. Davis does come off as a bit shy sometimes when it comes to dominating the ball. Take a look at what LeBron said about Davis previously:

“It’s everything I expected and more. Obviously, that’s why I wanted him here. When you get a generational talent like that and you got an opportunity to get him, you just try to do whatever you can to get him.”

“I gave my opinion on what I thought he could bring to this franchise. I gave my thoughts about the player—but not only the player, the person. Hopefully, they took my advice to heart. And obviously, ultimately they made the decision to do what we did in the offseason. It’s no surprise to me.”

Now it is time for AD to shoot back with a confidence booster for his teammate LeBron. Davis was asked about the upcoming series and what they would be doing to prepare.

“But preparation for his first conference finals against the Nuggets, Davis said, the message that meant the most was hearing James say, ‘You’re going to be huge in this series.’” 

It sounds like just about any other game in which LeBron is playing in. The Lakers have the talent level unmatched by any other team still in the playoffs. They should be able to come out on top.
