That same feeling is one that Davis obviously wants to feel again, but countless obstacles have presented themselves to him over the last two years. As a new season with the Lakers approaches, injuries have been left behind and Davis seems to have left those problematic times behind him.
According to journalist Chris Haynes, Anthony Davis revealed tohim that LeBron James has been mentoring him non-stop about leadership. James is very aware that Anthony Davis is the most important player on the team, other than him, of course. Davis spoke to Yahoo Sports on the latest Lakers’ media day during pre-season.
This is what he said: “I’m so excited that I’ve got goosebumps just thinking about this year. I’m looking forward to a healthy year and doing what I know we can do.
