LeBron James and Anthony Davis have enjoyed a huge amount of success playing for the Los Angeles Lakers but they are not always able to see eye to eye.
They have had their fair share of conflicts over the years but Davis was recently speaking to Shams Charania about a specific quality that LeBron possesses.
“You look at everybody he’s played with um as far as the Stars I think I might be the only other guy I might be the only guy actually that don’t play his position you know. Like I don’t need the ball. I don’t have the ball oh I need to bring it up you know. So it kind of works for us,” he told the ESPN insider.
Not all plain-sailing
As he admitted though, there are times where they ‘butt heads’.
“We have our moments where we butt heads and you know we’re yelling at each other. But I think that’s normal you know any relationship,” Davis explained.
Davis has long been vocal about how he so routinely has to play out of his favored position and he explained to Charania about how he could make so much more of an impact when playing the correct role.
“I think we need another big. I feel like I’ve always been at my best when I’ve been the 4, having a big out there… I’m not saying we don’t have good bigs now, but it’s different when you have a true center that can protect the rim and rebound like that,” he said.
Rob Pelinka will be left knowing that he has a player with a genuine concern but until a trade happens, Davis will have to keep doing what he can for the team in the position where he is needed.
