LeBron James’ injury-prone teammate fights a needless battle

Since making the move to the Los Angeles Lakers, James has assembled a team full of superstars to reclaim the glorious NBA championship ring. Among his dignitaries is 30-year-old Anthony Davis, who is indisputably among the greatest power forwards of his generation.

However, Davis’ biggest concern is his recurrent injury concerns. From the time he joined the league, ‘Brow’ has never played a full regular season 0f 82 games. While he has made up for his lost time handsomely with some solid performances, his most-endearing fans have prayed for his health at all times.

But it looks like their calls to heaven are being tarnished by the man himself. The 2020 NBA champion was recently seen in a video featuring him and featherweight boxer Jalen Skywalker. The duo got together in a friendly fire inside the boxing ring, with the latter calling on LeBron James to the showdown as well.

While the four-time MVP hasn’t sent any response yet, fans were quick to call out Davis for his misdemeanor.

And another fan said, “Bro what’s the height difference, this [sic] some David v Goliath type spar.” Yet another user added, “Don’t hit him too hard Champ! Laker nation gonna be mad AF when you injure him!”

One fan directed Skywalker to tap him to hurt his ankle, he wrote, “Just tap him his ankle gon break.” Another netizen pointed out that AD is not meant for boxing. “Anthony is way too tall to be boxing. Boxing is a sport for short people. Under 6 ft tall.”
