A lot of unanswered questions haunt the Lakers at the cusp of the regular season. While LeBron James enters his 21st season in the league, another chip on his resume remains an intrigue among fans. However, last year the late surge of the Lakers to the Western Conference finals can be attributed to Anthony Davis.

More recently, a former Boston Celtics legend sat down to discuss this very dilemma. Is the new NBA season the dawn of a new era for the Lakers?

Celtics Legend anticipates a fiery LeBron James v Anthony Davis season

Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett sat down to discuss a pressing issue in the latest All the Smoke episode. The Big Ticket thinks Anthony Davis should live up to his potential. Furthermore, he expresses a need for him to graduate to the position of the franchise player ahead of King James.

“I am looking for him to come out this year and be a part of the MVP conversation. Anything less than that, I don’t want to hear that sh*t…. cause Bron can’t do this s**t. We over that. Is it Anthony Davis’ team now? Can we say that?,” asked the former MVP to the panel. He further added, “He signed the extension. If he is coming in and waiting on Bron to do something, no, that is not the mentality bro. You get that money and the money propels you.”
