LeBron James and Anthony Davis are going to look to avenge their terrible season last year, but NBA fans don’t exactly seem to support them.

The Lakers absolutely underperformed last season. They made the bold move to bring in Russell Westbrook from the Washington Wizards last offseason, but the move absolutely blew up in their faces.
The roster was never built to take advantage of Westbrook’s best traits, and he had perhaps his worst statistical season of his career. Everything he did on the court was viewed under a microscope.
Whether it was roster issues or coaching, the Westbrook fit was always off. To make matters worse, Anthony Davis was injured for a large part of the season.
LeBron James for his part did everything he could. He almost led the league in scoring, and he had an MVP caliber season. He perhaps would have even won had the Lakers not done so poor.
LeBron James’ hype post for Anthony Davis gets destroyed
The King recently put out a hype video for his teammate Anthony Davis. Davis was getting ruthlessly destroyed all over social media after a video of him saying he hadn’t shot a basketball since April went viral.
So, LeBron felt the need to step up and remind everyone that Davis is one of the best players in the league when he’s healthy and that people are quick to forget.
However, the comments didn’t take too lightly to the post and made sure to point out that Davis has only played in 76 total games the last two seasons. Here are some of the reactions.
The comments may be valid, but we should give AD a chance to show he’s worth it before writing him off. If he performs well next year, well, the Lakers may be right back in the title hunt.
