Anthony Davis said he didn’t celebrate when LeBron broke the points record because they were losing the game. That excuse makes no sense when you dig a little deeper but now there are rumors LA may look to move on from the big man at the end of the year.
His recent shooting slumps cant be attributed to adjusting to playing with LeBron. He was shooting well in 2020 with Lebron
Lebron led the league in assists in 2020. Lebron is on pace to average 30 ppg in back to back seasons. AD is now playing with the true version of Lebron James... Shoot first pass second.
Lets look at the top 15 all time points leaders to prove my point...
In 20 seasons Lebron has never had a season with less than 18 shot attempts per game. Jordan is the only other player & he played 15 seasons. All other players in the top 15 have at least 4 such seasons.
Lebron=0
Kareem=10
Karl=6
Kobe=4
Jordan=0
Dirk=16
Wilt=6
Shaq=9
Melo=7
Moses=17
Hayes=6
Hakeem=11
Oscar=5
Durant=6
Dominique=5
@@pookyman12 Lebron is scoring that much more because AD can’t stay on the floor for more than 5 games at a time without getting hurt. Lebron is still putting up 7 assists a game
@@pookyman12 tbf ad misses so many shots that its hard to keep passing to him. at some point lebron has to be selfish if they want to make the playoffs.
In the bubble, without a crowd.
@@blue-phoenix115 they were the number 1 seed in the west in 2020. It wasnt just in the bubble. They were dominant before the pandemic ever happened.
Let's be honest Barkley was 100% correct AD hasn't been holding up his end since he won that ring. He has to take some of the blame for injuries. He lands horribly all the time and makes poor decisions which lead to getting hurt. They have all tried to get him to take the drivers seat on the lakers and he has failed everytime. Shouldnt be making excuses for him. He won the ring Than slacked off
Agree with this. Injuries can be random, but so many frequently has to be his fault, at least paetially
He’s been right a few times.
The 7 30 and 10 or more ppg and reb hasent been enough LeBallhog was out and AD shined no wonder he didn’t even stand he just wants to win rings and sip wine in his mansion AD was a franchise player on a team that wasn’t that great plus LeBron left Cleveland came back then left again and your saying it’s ADs fault for wanting out of NOP that’s stupid
I agree with most of what you saying but taking the blame for his own injuries is tough. He might need to go to the Embiid School of Breaking Your Fall, but I doubt he's actively trying to get hurt. Getting hurt... hurts. Not many people try to do that to themselves.
@@HoopzProddz ofc a Ad fans saying this
I love how often you upload, man. Much respect to the work you're putting in.
But he screams so much💀
A lot of the content is just bs no info guesses Tage turn out wrong 95% of the time
True
@@till7407true still nice that he uploads so much
@@till7407 you want my cheeseburger
AD doesn't had to adjust to LeBron.
Before he got hurt he was phenomenal and he doesn't even take more jumpshots
I think LeBron had a problem with A.D. dominating being the number one scoring options...
@@alanduff1054Oh please. LeBron isn't that kind of teammate.
@@kentstallard6512 SURE he is.. It's obvious he's stat padding...
@@alanduff1054 He must be an expert cuz he's getting so many Ws while he's at it
@@alanduff1054 No he had no problem. When AD was great ( pre injury) LeBron created a lot of shots for AD.
Davis is a Offensive big who needs to play with players like LeBron. He needs other players to create for him. He scores nearly every poitn through an assist.
And when Davis was Rolling LeBron definitely enjoyed that.
You can see a clear jump in LeBrons numbers as well after Davis got injured. So I don't really get your point cause statistically (and my eye test) there is no proof for that
Dang must be sooo hard to play with Bron.. when all you gotta do is DELIVER!
These dudes feel a small microfraction of the pressure LeBron has and become mentally unstable 😂
Man it’s so sad, I don’t want to see him turn out like boogie cousins 😢 he gets injured so often but I think he will pull through and learn to land correctly for its not such a normal occurrence❤
Now that you mention it, New Orleans is like the expert at getting injury-prone big men. Cousins, AD, and now Zion.
@@texchu8331 faxx the bulls are the same but with point guards 💀
AM, your waaay off on this one. AD has zero excuses to be playing like ass.
he's already considerably more accomplished than boogie
@@victor_wet_bananas yall are both spittin fax lmao
GOLD. Thank you for the constant uploads. Your work does not go unnoticed.
For real
Lakers have been incredibly patient with AD considering all his issues. If he thinks New York , Boston or Philly wouldn’t be toxic with him rolling in the ground crying every other game he is wrong
City of LA isn't any different from those cities
lefraud wanted him so it's his problem
@@imhong28 yes they are. It takes much more to make them angry. If they boo you it’s because you deserve it
@@johndurrer7869not true when it came to Pau Gasol.
@@bostonk.o. Pau wasn’t booed or treated poorly. He was in trade talks but that happens everywhere unless you are a top 10 player
A lot of AD’s injuries can be attributed to the fact that he said he doesn’t workout in the offseason, you can’t just take extensive time off than hop into it again for 82 games like it’s nothing. You see Bron barely misses games and he goes through extensive workout and recovery during the offseason, you’d think AD would take some tips from Bron and understand how to manage his body.
It’s hilarious the double standards we hold when it comes to pressure. When it’s on a Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant-led team, it’s just their greatness and you are considered weak if you can’t handle it. When it’s a LeBron-led team, it’s somehow LeBron’s fault and everyone else is the “scapegoat” when things go wrong. Aww boohoo it’s so tough :(
Becuase MJ and kobe weren't playing PF, coach, and GM all at the same time like Lebron always does
I'm a huge Lebron fan but a lot of this is the bed he's made for himself. Although with the recent trades the Lakers made, things starting to look potentially nice again
Just need AD to stay healthy
Actually nvm things are still the same they're screwed
@@jac6548 Hahahaha, nah honestly they made some good trades for once this deadline
@@jac6548 they didn't need to because Kobe played for a franchise with several titles and Jordan had talent around him from players to coaches. Bron is no GM but he doesn't make decisions just suggestions.
@@IllMatic97 "Kobe played for a franchise with several titles"
...you mean the...Lakers?
@@jac6548 y’all do know that lebron isn’t actually the coach and gm 😂
but Lebron left Miami, they didn't leave him....same with lebron leaving Cavs.. that argument doesn't hold up about people leaving Lebron, if that was your intent.
Love your content man keep it coming.
if we lose kyrie and josh green for anthony davis i’ll hate them
That whole argument about teammates leaving Lebron made no sense. Lebron left those teams, the teammates didn’t leave him lol
Teammates burn out after a few years with Lebron, Lebron is still standing while being Lebron for decades.
To be honest.. when he broke the all time score I taught it was premature.. to celebrate so early in the middle game. why didn't they celebrate it after the game ? I think its disrespectful to all the players trying to win the game.
I was so embarrassed to be a NBA fan that night. I am on AD'S side. I was yelling at the t.v. what are you doing...Y'all are losing the game.
The clip was out of context too if you remember AD had like 8 points at that point and he was having a bad game so he was mad at himself
Literally this guy just makes up a narrative and spout a load of crap to back it up
And no one will remember the score of that game they’ll only remember lebrons has the record for most points .
AD had 13 points in the game.
definitely it's been so brutal for AD, i really don't want him to be like Boogie Cousins, getting injured so often , and i really do hope he will pull through and learn to land correctly, but it's sad that when people say his legs are made out of glass
Hes better than boogie ever was. AD can and has been elite on offense and defense. Boogie was a liability defensively among other things.
Sad but true
His days are numbered.
There’s no way LeBron actually thought AD would suddenly turn into Iron Man after becoming a Laker. He’s been injury prone his whole career, it was well known.
People can be blindly optimistic 🤷♂️ he reportedly asked for Russ instead of Buddy Hield too, and everyone else thought that was bad at the time
Maybe but I pray we don’t trade Josh Green. I love his energy
Soon as I heard that the whole trade went out the window. Plus it isn’t like Mavs wouldn’t offer him a deal to stay, they can if they want him.
Didn't they say the real reason AD was upset was because Westbrook had a blowup in the locker room, and it brought his mood down. Can't really say that to the media after the game. I think this is more likely than him being mad at LeBron.
This video aged horribly
It’s not making AD the scapegoat pointing out what he did. Bro is always injured and when he’s on the court he’s very inconsistent. He’s supposed to be “a top 10 talent” and The Lakers are supposed to be his by now and he isn’t stepping up.
You reading too much from this, my god lmaoo
Is a slow news day
Why would the Lakers trade Ad for kyrie when Ad is better then him this video is stupid as shit
Lebron is 60% media creation and I don't blame AD for wanting outta there
thats a very soft reason. leaving cause you cant handle the media spotlight that lebron comes with. it isnt even that bad for AD compared to someone like westbrook or kyrie that get way more hate.
That’s a terrible take considering Davis has been injured do realize lbj said 3 years ago this is Davis team but he hasn’t healthy enough to take that role. His injuries has taken away his dpoy, mvps and another ring.
@@johnmarkson1990
It's a soft league and every player who demands a trade has a ridiculous reason. Everyone's sensitive and everyone making money either way, so why deal with the nonsense if u don't have to.
2) Everyone will be better off when Lebron is gone
@@kathykolcun6791 Lebron the reason the lakers are losing.
@@jj10176 lol Yes AD has been injured but that has nothing to do with him being tired of the media fanboys and tired of Lebron
2) AD has never struck me as a team leader so I don't know what Lebron was thinking when he said that (terrible judge of character)
3) AD got Lebron his Disney land ring so he can pretend he got 4. Lebron should thank AD
Only getting better kept up the good content
You cant fully blame this on Lebron. Blame ADs injuries, Russ’s horrible max deal, and the lakers roster being genuinely trash. Let’s see how the lakers now that they moved Russ before you say that AD and Lebron are the problem
They already did that though it's wrap homie
This shit always comes with LeBron don’t you realize it by now?
@@sleeks9939 right 😂😂 they traded their roster for Russ’s horrible max deal 😭
@@kooligan500 then traded Russ and got even better assets back and came back down 27😂
@@jakeg4309 i mean you are suppose to fix your mistakes lol i stated facts and so did you
I believe Anthony Davis is fine now after everything that has happened especially with the trade deadline and what Rob Pelinka was able to bring in to better the roster.
Look at the last game the Lakers play before the All-Star break against the Pelicans and look at Anthony Davis embracing Pelinka on the sideline when the Lakers handily beating New Orleans. He was pretty much thanking him for revamping the roster and giving him a chance to make the playoffs which they do.
I believe injuries, roster fit, and losing games especially games they should have won is what drove AD to be in the slump that he was in.
Cause remember in the beginning of the season AD was on the tear and was pretty much was on the outside looking in the MVP conversation. But when he hurt his foot in that game against Denver that changed everything.
Now that the floor is going to have a lot of space now with the shooters that they got during the deadline You're going to see a different AD out there hopefully if you can stay healthy down the stretch.
Bronny was expected to be drafted at 10th pick in 2024.
If that happened, I would assume LBJ leave
I ain't reading allat 😹😹
I’m a mavs fan, I Don’t want AD
How you connecting your videos to the previous videos is brilliant!! I just want to watch one of em in the homepage but now it's already the third 🤣🤣 good one!! You just got a new subscriber!
The 2020 Lakers team had a key factor: Size
Lebron played full time PG (Led league in AST)
Lakers ran a 2 Center Lineup (Ad + Big man/7 footer)
Lakers had wings 3&D
Luka and AD would be a great duo. Dallas definitely needs a genuinely good defensive center and he would be the perfect fit
Don’t they have Magee. Isn’t he good enough? Actually now that I think about it he doesn’t get that many minutes.
@@iamtheonlywilly yeah he’s barely been playing much this year
Now they have Kyrie
#Respectfully They ain't bouta trade AD he's about to turn up just watch🤞🏾
This is such a reach. All players have to make adjustments when playing with a superstar. Lebron has had to make adjustments to play with AD.
LOL, it's called accountability - AD couldn't get it done in New Orleans and he cant get it done now. Hurt every year and the bottom line is he doesnt love the game. There are tons of players with talent but they dont all love the game. Its just a job , AD is not putting in the work and for you to insult lebron because AD cant get his act together you are not going to get away with blaming LA for AD flaws and failures. He hasn't succeeded anywhere
It's understandable that AD is under significan't pressure playing with LeBron, though we can't be certain that's what is bothering him. Bottom Line: AD was stuck on a losing team, desperately wanted out, and had never won a championship without LeBron.
Lebron would not win a championship in LA without a.d too and being stacked.
@@zilverman7820 LeBron has done something no player in history has done. He's won with 3 different organizations. No one person wins a championship. LeBron has had an incredible career, and AD benefitted by joining him.
@@calcham1 Robert Horry and Danny Green would like to have a word with you
@@B345T1N355Official Are you suggesting that team hopping from one optimal situation to the next isn't some amazing feat???
Im not trading ad for kyrie tf. Nun of Ad injuries in the past year has been his fault. not a single one since the 2021-2022. He been getting unlucky by ppl landing in his legs , jumping and coming down wrong , and a damn stress injury. Before his injury he gave us 35 and 16 for a stretch of 16 games. he gave us a championship. A stress injury heals in 4-8 months regularly and ad out there still playing tryna do something. ya have to be patient. La fans try to move on so fast instead of being patient. Ad gives us so much help on defense
Dead ass, AD was straight dominating earlier this season for a stretch. Was looking like the best player in the league some of them games.
Exactly.. he hasn't even been playing that bad if you consider his defense. People are trying to stir up drama like always but I really don't think it's that deep. AD probably deleted his IG because of all of this, people just making up narratives and running with it, criticizing him for every little thing, that's gotta be bad for your mental health and I applaud him for getting himself off social media. If anything it just shows he's locked in. And as he gets healthier I'm sure his offense will pick back up and everyone will be saying he should be MVP again.
"so many of his best teammates felt this way" is such a fucking lie. 😂😂😂 Almost every single teammate he's ever had has had nothing but great things to say about him on and off the court. Kyrie is the only star player he's ever played with that has had an issue, and even Kyrie came out and essentially said that was his fault. Just some food for thought.
Bad take, Luka doesn't want another injury prone star like AD. People be trying to force these trades because "LeBron likes it". They don't really dig into the opposite organization.
Bro it wouldn't make a difference by getting Kyrie and letting Davis go.
I love ur vids 🔥
D Wade played with LeBron on the Cavs, but was traded because he was done, he would have played with LeBron forever. Kyrie wanted out, but wants back in. Love would join LeBron again in a second. Weak minded players find or hard around LeBron. What you should focus on is, if AD had the mind set of Giannis, how unstoppable would he be. ADs attitude is the problem, period.
Every time I'm guessing how that transition to the prior video is going to be brought up 🤣
Never missed a upload and its always a W when you upload :)
I don’t understand the whole “adjusting to LeBron” thing, didn’t they win a bubble ring already? Does he have to readjust again? Idk I’m not a Laker fan
Suns in 4💪💪
AD to the Bulls, Kyrie to Lakers, Lavine to Mavs or something like that
AD to the Shanghai sharks 👀
Didn't Kyrie left Cleveland because he doesn't want to play with Lebron anymore??
He's being turned into Chris Bosh/Kevin Love.
💯 exactly
If he had no other superstar he would be more injured cause the team would need him more
@@teddyleandre true
I just don't understand, why does AD have low shoes, u a center u gained 20kg. U need Alpine 's for skiing
Been watching for months, subbed cause you work hard man appreciate it
As a cavs fan I'm glad lebron is on the Lakers because less drama
Nice vid 👍
Bro hell no. We aren’t gonna send Josh Green away like that as an afterthought you’re smoking weed. Do you watch the Mavs? Either I’m completely delusional or you don’t know what you’re talking about
Kyrie-AD would be win-win trade, Kyrie and Luka won't work out, AD is better fit no matter how much games he misses
I think the current NBA is one of the reasons most bigs are injury prone, especially those two way bigs like AD and Embiid. There's lot more running trying to chase 3point shoooters. They're bad for the legs. Before, they just stay near the paint, defend, and grab boards. Those quick,instant movements trying to defend the paint and the 3 point line affect the legs, knees and ankles which is dangerous for those big men.
Thats why overly tall giant are outdated. They're prone to injuries.
Mr. Glass knows he won't be needed soon in that team, with his injuries and young guys coming in. Plus, the pressure of keeping up with LeGM.
I was ready to go to your channel
I blind man can see that with the moves they've made before the trade deadline that LA is looking to rebuild. AD is one first round pick away from being traded.
Ok, give me Kyrie + Christian Wood and some picks.
Ad is clearly better then kyrie
.
Can you do the blazers
AD is so selfish . It's all about him ... uhhh my leg .. uhhh my knee .. uhhh my ankle .. man up AD and play with damn freaking leg . The best teammate Bron ever had was DWade
What up bro. Exieted always for your new videos
The russ trade made it easier for the lakers to sign kyrie in the off-season. They can do a sign and trade for d-lo going to Dallas and the lakers get back kyrie. So they wouldn't need to trade AD for kyrie and instead, just have their own big 3
Am Hoops lowkey really hates Lebron
he was mad pissed at the loss against OKC, now they won't make the playoffs.
A.D. hasn't won anything and achieve barely nothing without LeBron and Mr.Glass is still angry.
He was pissed that the game stopped. Just as pissed as the other team was. Couple that with the fact that he can't stay healthy, I'm sure that AD isn't in the best mental space.
Hence deactivating his instagram.
okc didnt gaf they knew it was coming lol
As if he didn't know that would happen.
It's a huge milestone and he pouted like a baby.
@@The4everTurtles lebron was so mad at OKC, he had to block Shai on the all star game lmao. Sadly, he couldn’t sniff that 6-0 record even in the all star game 😢
@@sasakikojiro5499 another bron hater saying the most random shit
Since when is the celebration more important than winning
Nah AD will stay a LAKER, he is a unicorn, one of the rarest breeds of players. He just needs to stay healthy.
he is rare…-ly ever healthy or consistent 💀
Are you high? Kyrie and what??? Kyrie for AD straight?... LOL
I like the channel but his hate for LeBron damages his credibility.
It’s so true though. When the 3 of them were on the floor AD would usually be the one struggling. Russ and lebron would have a good game and AD would have like 9 boards and 15 points. Cmon bro. He doesn’t give 100% all the time and it shows. He could be an all time great, but he chooses to be above average. Smh. Russ wasn’t the problem. I’m glad he’s gone. I’m not saying Russ was a good fit, but I think the spotlight should of been on AD more for their struggles.
I’d pay good money to be Kenrich Williams in that moment
As a Mavs fan, no thank you. We already tried an injury prone big. And no way we'd give up Josh Green.
AD sounds sick of losing, don’t have to spin it into something else. This guy is worse than some journalists
Bro at 2:05 it says “there were dark times” not “his darkest times”
AD needs to be healthy and score 28 to 30 points a game. Lebron is doing his job at 38 years old and 20 years in the league. It's all about AD, not Lebron.
As a LA fan I would have been happy to sign AD for Kyrie and others if we had held on to Thomas Bryant. But who will be our Big Guy if AD leaves? He’s a rare talent at C/PF.
The Lakers should have never gotten rid of Brandon Ingram , Kuzma or Alex Caruso.
I'm a bit surprised that you didn't mention how playing with LeBron Kevin Love missed several games due to mental health.
I think AD eventually might want out of LA. I mean by 2024 or 2025 both of them will be gone and off to different directions. As a Laker fan I will not surprised.
and then LA will get 2 new stars. thats just the culture of big market teams. you can afford to move players around without much risk.
@@johnmarkson1990 The problem is who will be there. Especially when everyone is going to be locked up with their teams. We have to start learning how to draft better because Boston did a better job at that, and eventually they will get number 18.
Absolutely agree. Bron is basically strolling on defense, conserving all his energy on stuffing his stat sheet. LA is basically playing with 4 guys on defense!
I respect Bron's record, not the way he got there. Especially this season
He's 38...can't go all out both ends.
And that roster until now was James and Davis on an island.
@@kentstallard6512 38 eating up 25% of the payroll
@@kentstallard6512 So maybe he needs to quit?
@@sasakikojiro5499 usually a top two player on your team does that
@@alexescutia4805 So why mention his age?
Remember that news report where media asked AD how his preparations were going for the 2022-2023 season in April 2022 and he reportedly blurted out "I haven't even touched the ball..." before getting cut off by his agent? He shouldn't be surprised about trade rumors given his HUGE salary but "street clothes" presence.
Ad signed up for this so I don’t feel sorry for him. He literally demanded a trade to play with lebron .
AD was with the pelicans for like 10 years he is used to losing he just got beef with bron because he is a all time great but he is considered the number 2 option on his team
I was always hoping AD didn't have to change for LeBron 🥴. I also didn't expect LeBron to continue to perform at this level at 38.
Legendary channel
How ironic it is for KD to call sum toxic 😂 0:54
As a Dallas fan, I wouldn´t trade for AD. We already had our experience with Porzings. We don´t need another big who is constantly injured.
KD is spot on, the hype around the players they traded in is insane. Those players will do their job, the team will fall under expectations and they will cop a lot of the hate by the media and fans.
Weird because I always hear "LeBron makes other teammates better" 🤣
Where the fuck did you hear that
That is a myth
Yes he makes them better not injured all the time 💁🏾♂️😑
@@goat-status3715 jorbum never made his teamates better either
@@Green-unit He made them famous and rich 🤑 Ask Bj Armstrong, Bill Cartwright. Steve Kerr, John Paxtoand many. They all famous and doing better than a lot former allstars. Even his opponents got a piece of the fame. Jordan made all of basketball better, ask Nike and David Stern.
The problem with AD is he's always injured. The reason that this was not considered an issue when he was with the Pelicans is that he never had a superstar level teammate to share the load. Now he's been on the Lakers and 3/4 seasons he's been injured heavily. Two seasons he played half the season's worth of games. So honestly, AD has no trade value because he's not dependable enough for deep playoffs basketball and he's getting older too which means more injury potential. The Mavs would never trade for him, they want to win another title. Washington might because let's face it, Washington won't win a title any time soon, they have no other stars other than Bradley Beal who they would have to trade away. So really, AD likely stays with LeBron unless he decides to sign somewhere else, or the Lakers sell him to a team like the Kings in exchange for 3-4 good players.
Anthony Davis is a laker4life
I am sorry but KD's statement was plain ridiculous. Especially considering his own legacy.
Nah he spoke the truth honestly
@@trevort590 no he really didn't, KD is not a fan of the media so of course he'd say something like that.
I miss the good days of Bron and AD at Taco Tuessssssdayyyyy
Insane how so many people somehow shift the blame to these players playing with LeBron. This is 100% on AD. Kyrie has said multiple times he regretted how he went about his situation. K Love actually said Bron helped him keep his head up in those low times. Kuzma was more upset with how Lakers fans treated him because he wasnt putting up numbers like he did before Bron & AD. This was a poorly made video that shows your lack of research on the subject.
Pretty sure AD now misses Westbrook. Coz without Westbrook, he's now the scapegoat. 😅
AD is a "problem" 29 other NBA teams would love to have.
It wasn’t fun playing for Jordan or Kobe either. Ask Sottie or Shaq
Unhealthy AD for Superstar Luka? NO!!! Stop please No
