NBA – Mercilessly,
Kevin Garnett attacks Anthony Davis:
“Maybe he thinks he has the ability???
As always, Anthony Davis will be a determining factor in the success of the Lakers.
Very good at the start of the season, and particularly defensively, he could do even more according to Kevin Garnett. He wants to see him take over from LeBron James.
After around fifteen contested matches, the Lakers must already lower their ambition.
Indeed, throughout the summer, fans explained to the rhythm of intelligent signings that the franchise had a real chance of aiming for the title.
It must be said that after a great journey to the conference final, the group seemed to have improved.
If hope is not completely lost, quite the contrary, we must still recognize that the group is still quite far from the best teams in the conference like the Nuggets or the Timberwolves.
Like last season in fact, LeBron James and his partners can win or lose against anyone, which makes any projection impossible.
Kevin Garnett hard with Anthony Davis
What could change the situation and tip the Lakers to the right side is an even more decisive Anthony Davis. If he is excellent with 21.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocks on average, he has the talent to take another step forward and establish himself as the best player in the Western Conference. For Kevin Garnett, who spoke to Stephen A. Smith, this is not yet the case:
“Right now, Anthony Davis probably thinks he’s playing to the best of his abilities. He thinks he gives 100%. He must see that he is coming out of games with 35 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks, and he must think that it is good for him.
It’s probably very good. But here we compare him to an older player who must be able to pass the torch to someone. I don’t think Anthony Davis can take over from LeBron.
It’s still LeBron’s team! LeBron looks like he jumps higher and is younger than Anthony Davis. I will never disrespect Michael Jordan, he is my GOAT, but I have never seen a player like LeBron James.
I played against him and now I watch as a fan. I have never seen a 39 year old man like him. He must take products that no one knows about at the moment.
Kevin Garnett is categorical, Anthony Davis does not have the shoulders to take over from LeBron James and establish himself as the true leader of the Lakers in the quest for a new title.
A rather cruel observation for the interior, which has been playing at a great level for several weeks. It’s up to AD to raise his level of play in important matches to silence the former MVP.
Kevin Garnett knows the potential of Anthony Davis and he does not accept seeing him below the exceptional level that he reaches certain evenings. For the former Celtics, AD will never have the consistency to become the only No. 1 in the Lakers.
