Anthony Davis gets serious as the Lakers have all eyes on the Playoffs

Anthony Davis continues to play a crucial role for the Lakers currently. Even after spilling blood early in the game against the Memphis Grizzlies, AD remained on the court to bag a crucial win. Yet again, to prove his commitment, the center has taken a drastic step to cancel out the noise around him.

It seems like AD wants no disturbances at this time of the season. Trying his best to earn a spot in the playoffs, AD has deactivated his Instagram account. Players usually take a break from social media during the postseason. However, this time AD has done it much earlier. This could prove to be a big decision as Davis’ sole focus will now be on making the Playoffs.

In April 2015, LeBron James took a similar step to concentrate only on basketball. After earning a spot in the playoffs, the 4x MVP took to his Twitter, as he mentioned, “Zero dark thirty-23 activated #StriveForGreatness.”

LeBron’s move was widely applauded as the effects of it were clear for everyone to see. A focused James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in his first year back with the team. Though he suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Golden State Warriors in the Finals, the time away from social media seemed to have paid off.
