Moreover, his latest take on Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is nothing different. Many fans in the community seem to agree with what Perkins had to say about Davis.?

There is no argument in the fact that father time may finally be catching up to LeBron James. Even at age 38, James is still one of the top scorers in the league. Nevertheless, the 38-year-old still possesses a lot of tools to turn the game around.

When healthy, Anthony Davis can be next to unstoppable. However, it is Davis’ health that has stood in the way of him being considered the number one option on the team.

While another fan dropped a comment saying, ?LA isn?t for him. He?s a second guy at best. Can be a 1, but he?s not built to last as a 1. One stays healthy and carries the team PERIOD.?
