The good atmosphere has reigned between LeBron James and Anthony Davis since the start of the season, so much so that the latter is venturing into rather daring motivation techniques in the direction of his teammate. But the King does not let it go.
On the occasion of the NBA’s comeback, the Lakers had to prepare for their game against the Clippers with leaders in delicate physical condition. LeBron James was listed as “probable” because of groin pain, while the presence ofAnthony Davis was uncertain due to her eye injury which had been contracted a few days earlier.
Finally, the two men were well dressed to take up the major challenge which presented themselves to them, and succeeded, not without difficulty. The interior delivered a very solid performance with 34 points and 8 rebounds, while his sidekick erased an overall mixed encounter by a big end to the game decisive to offer victory to his family (103-101).
Even lessened, the two men have shown that thanks to their understanding and their fruitful production, even historical, they could knock down any opponent. This cohesion inevitably leads to a few quarters between friends, one of which was revealed by AD a few hours before their victory. Dave McMenamin fromESPN reports his words:
I tease him. I give him things like, “You’re getting old, man. Earlier in the year, he dunked a counterattack, and it was a super simplistic thing. So I said “Dude, it’s worth a 3!” “
To play around with LeBron James’ age with LBJ himself is taking very big risks. At 35, the quadruple MVP makes a point of proving that there remains an anomaly of nature on a physical level, even in his 17th year in the league. One of his favorite hashtags, #WashedKing (#KingRincé, used ironically), is perfect proof of this.

Therefore, as soon as he has the opportunity, the veteran does not hesitate to make lie his detractors and his young acolyte by signing big spectacular actions, like when he replied to a Kobe Bryant dunk. And according to Davis, you can obviously count on Bron to come and brag about it to him.
When he did the same dunk that Kobe had done a few years earlier, he came to me after the game and he said, “So that was worth an 8.5, right? I’m not old yet! So I’m doing my part of the job by motivating him!
His rather daring rooming is therefore paying off, since several months later, he pushed his partner to sign a much more memorable figure on a similar fast break.
History does not say if it was once again such a joke that motivated LeBron to deliver excellent last minute bills last night, after appearing exhausted during the first three quarters. If so, AD has definitely found the makeover for his teammate.
All this symbolizes above all the good relationship between the two stars of the Lakers, which allow their franchise to reign over the Western Conference.
