Amid the rumors of LA Lakers’ Anthony Davis linkup with the Dallas Mavericks, several news items made the round that all is not well between Davis and LeBron James. The two have been said to be not on good terms for a long time now. Although the alleged feud between the two Lakers has not been apparent yet, the surrounding speculations are soaring. There are new twists and angles being produced in order to show that their relationship is in a bad state.

The rumors of Davis’s alleged linkup with the Mavericks have triggered the situation further. It is also being said that LeBron James is not happy with head coach Darvin Ham either. Now, Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce has put out his take with another angle, suggesting that King James is hindering his teammate’s growth.

LeBron James is hampering his teammate’s craft

Celtics Legend, Paul Pierce talked about the two Lakers on Ticket & The Truth. Pierce gave his opinion on how James might be holding back Davis’s craft from improving. The 2008 NBA Champion said, “You know why I don’t think he put up these numbers consistently when Bron is out there. Because I feel like Bron ain’t referred to him yet, because he ain’t gave him that confidence. I actually think the Lakers will be a better team if Bron referred to Anthony Davis. Because we are seeing it without LeBron in there and how Anthony Davis is playing.”

Pierce is of the opinion that James’s presence in the Lakers along with Davis is restricting Davis to showcase more of his skills and put up better numbers.

He continued, “If he allows Anthony Davis to take that lead, I think the Lakers will be a better team. If Bron just stayed back and be more of a facilitator, not that he not already is, but less scoring from LeBron…like 23 p’s and…10, 11, 12 assists a game. Where Anthony Davis is your go-to guy, I think the Lakers will be a better team.”

Whether or not Pierce’s opinion is of any use to the Lakers or if they will ever consider it, only time will tell.

Anthony Davis’s reaction to LeBron breaking a world record.

Fans and analysts speculated that Davis wasn’t thrilled with James breaking the all-time scoring record of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Although the Laker tried explaining his side of the story, it didn’t stop the speculation. A video was posted on Twitter where Davis can be seen in a not-so-happy mood as he was sitting on a chair while everyone was on their feet to witness history being made.

Whatever the issue might be between the two stars, the better option would be resolving it as that can make the team suffer.
