‘His ability to dribble, shoot, three pointers, mid range’: LeBron James reveals whether Lakers’ Anthony Davis is better than Kyrie Irving
LeBron James gave his verdict as to the most gifted teammate he’s ever played alongside. Spoiler alert – it’s not Kyrie Irving.
It seems like Kyrie Irving has not done a single endearing thing for fans since he made that game-winning shot against the Warriors on Christmas 2016. Woke statement after insufferable one means that his stock is at its lowest point ever.
His former teammate LeBron is among those piling it on, right now. Kevin Love berated him for calling media members ‘pawns’, as did Charles Barkley and former World chess champion Garry Kasparov.

LeBron James explains how Anthony Davis is more gifted than Kyrie Irving
It wasn’t all a bad look for Kyrie as James waxed eloquent about his former point guard on Road Trippin’. In describing the 2016 Finals, Richard Jefferson and #23 lavished praise upon Kyrie.
But then they got to talking about his 2020 championship, and James had to do it to his former favorite.
“You know we talk about Kyrie (Irving) as far as how gifted he is. AD is even probably more gifted than Kyrie in the sense of you add seven, eight more inches of height. His ability to dribble, shoot, three-pointers, mid-range, low post. His defensive prowess is uncanny.”
In all fairness, Davis has shown that he’s a superior fit with James in every way possible. AD averaged more points per game than James, making him the first teammate to do so over a whole season in James’ prime.

![Jason Williams and Chris Webber have always been known to indulge in strange antics with each other, which was raised by Comedian Andrew Schulz, on his show, Flagrant. Appearing on the show, Jason Williams was asked whether he was involved "in a drive-by paintball shooting of Chris Webber's house in Sacramento". The White Chocolate burst into laughter and "plead the fifth". Williams confessed that maybe "his house caught some bullets along the way". However, to everyone's surprise, he told the comedian that "he [Chris Webber] was probably with me in some them drivebys." Adding to this, Williams also shared a hilarious story of a similar driveby with Webber, where the latter's shoe fell off but he had to somehow get it back. "We were doing that one time..we couldn't get in the gate or something so we decided we're going to go down and do our thing at the security guard at night, right, so we got two little scooters we are riding on these scooters and we dropped them in the dark and we are walking through the woods and whatever, we go the paintballs, we got the rocks, boom boom and we take off and left the scooters. But C Web's shoe falls off. And we got back and I was like 'Bro, where is your shoe?'" The story left everyone in the panel in splits as Williams made the 2021 Hall of Fame Inductee go all the way back to fetch his shoe because living in an all-white community, Webber was probably the only one with that size of shoe. However, on a serious note, the 2006 NBA champion confessed that it was one of the most fun times he had with his former teammate. He added that "it was a blessing in disguise" because they had to play a lot of games in different locations. It is obviously heartwarming to see such a chemistry between the legendary duo of Sacramento Kings. Jason Williams once had to travel in the undercarriage of the team bus Rookie hazing has been a part of teams in the NBA, where the veterans on the team try to build chemistry with young players in their own ways like alotting chores. Chris Webber once narrated one such incident where the rookie Jason Williams hid in the undercarriage of the team bus to avoid it. Upon reaching the hotel, the team noticed that Williams was missing. After searching for some time, the team looked under the bus and there was the 1998 draftee. When Webber asked him the reason, White Chocolate responded, "I don't wanna ride with y'all bi*ches up here." Even though it is a fun tradition among teammates to get to know each other, it did take a toll on the one-time All-Star. However, it was not long after this, the two developed good team ability to make some amazing plays together.](https://thesportsrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/7f3ad985-nba-2023-11-08t231816.707-300x300.jpg)
