LeBron James and Anthony Davis: Best ‘Two’ In The NBA?

LeBron James has compared his burgeoning partnership with Anthony Davis to the one he enjoyed with Dwayne Wade.

An era removed from his Miami Heat days, LeBron James has dovetailed beautifully with first-year Laker Anthony Davis this season.

The pair average a combined 53.6 points, 15.8 rebounds and 14.1 assists per game. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are almost tailor made for the Lakers, with their combination of swagger and ruthlessness.

Their play has lead the Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference, and they don’t look like stopping. LeBron has played every game so far this season, while Davis has battled through illness and injuries to play in all but one.

“The more time you spend together, if you have the same goals in mind and you have the same drive, then organically it happens,” LeBron said.

“For me and AD, it starts with us,” LeBron said. 

“If we’re on the same page it makes it easier for the rest of the ball club.”

“I mean, he’s a tremendous teammate, great talent and takes a lot of pressure off not only me, but everyone else,” Davis said. 

“It’s fun to be on the floor with him.”

Lakers coach Frank Vogel said that the two players have been working on their partnership since day one.

“They hit the ground running right from the start of training camp,” said Vogel.

“Both on and off the basketball court, their chemistry has been seamless.”

“What I’m seeing here is how much time they spent together away from the court last summer and how that has impacted what’s going on right now,” Vogel said. 

“Even in film sessions the two are always together. They’re just building that friendship that LeBron and Dwyane had. LeBron has done everything in his power to make sure he’s going out of his way to make Anthony comfortable.”
