LeBron James, Anthony Davis Share Brutally Honest Explanations For AD’s Resurgence

The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be getting the best of Anthony Davis. Is it enough? LeBron James really likes the way Davis surprised everyone with his resurgence. Let’s not forget that the big man sat out a lot of games due to his MCL strain. Davis was of great help for the team, but he didn’t look like himself in the first few months of the regular season. Well, he did switch the tune later in the season. That injury happened at the worst time possible, but Davis came stronger than ever.

Davis has been really successful in the last couple of weeks. He hit 30+ games in three games and added at least 27 in every other game. The Lakers big man was a dominant force in the win over the New York Knicks. He finished the game with 28 points, 17 rebounds, three assists, four blocks, and three steals. Impressive, right? I guess what’s why the Lakers brought him to LA in first place. Davis is closer to the dominant player he was in Orlando. Lakers fans were waiting for this for a really long time.

LeBron James likes Davis, appreciates his resurgence on the floor

According to LeBron, Davis’ injury and his absence “brought back the hunger” for the talented player. We all know that Davis used his time off to work on his skills. He sharpened his skills and got the best of his performance on the floor. Being out of the game for that long helped Davis find his groove.

Davis was really honest about his performance. He was just trying to do his best and win games. It’s all about the effort he made on the floor.

Some fans and analysts got a bit concerned about Davis. He is missing too much time due to his injuries. Will the big man be able to play at this pace? He has to, otherwise his team will have to play the wild-card game. Again. We all know what happened last year. The Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors, but lost the first round of the playoffs to the Phoenix Suns.
