LeBron James is standing by Anthony Davis.
In the Lakers’ recent victory over the Phoenix Suns, LeBron James and Anthony Davis contributed a total of 51 points out of the team’s 100, with Davis achieving an impressive 30-point, 12-rebound double-double. Following the game, LeBron had a message for those critical of AD.
When speaking to reporters after the game, LeBron was unequivocal in stating that the team isn’t concerned with criticism directed at AD. He emphasized that they aren’t affected by it, and Anthony Davis himself isn’t bothered.

“We don’t give a shit about criticism about AD. We don’t care. Nothing bothers us. AD doesn’t care. I don’t know if guys have figured that out. AD does not care. He’s not on social media. So he doesn’t see that other crap. He rarely talks, unless it’s to us… We don’t give a s-t about it. He definitely doesn’t… We’re happy to have AD,” LeBron said.
However, as always, fans had their say and reacted to LeBron’s comments:
“Him not caring about the criticism is irrelevant to whether the criticism is true or not,” one user commented in response to Awful Announcing’s post.
“Definitely something someone who doesn’t care would say,” another user wrote.
“We, as fans, are here for the guys who don’t care. So inspiring,” a third user added.
The ongoing battle of words continues.
LeBron recognizes the importance of supporting Anthony Davis because, if they want to secure another championship, Davis needs to be mentally prepared for the challenge.
