NBA fans have really been out to get the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason. Every move that the franchise has made or even the slightest information that has come out from their camp has been brutally criticized. LeBron James is no stranger to media scrutiny and has become the master at learning to shut people out. Which is something that he wants his teammate Anthony Davis to channel into his game.

Other teams should beware of Anthony Davis

After what was a very disappointing end to the postseason for the purple and gold, there were more celebrations than there was grief. Fans were pouring their hearts out about how happy they were about Lakers not going deeper into the postseason. Ultimately, that led to a chain of events in which the franchise was slandered for every decision they made.

The Lakers adding a series of veterans which made them the oldest team in the league was not received well by fans, to say the least. Even their blockbuster trade which brought them Russell Westbrook to add to the LeBron James and Anthony Davis duo was not spared.

In fact, when their predicted lineup came out, fans couldn’t help but mock them, even for that. This has definitely angered LeBron and Co., including Anthony Davis but LBJ has some useful advice about AD. “It’s not about proving other people wrong it’s about proving himself right….and I’m looking forward to a very angry Anthony Davis,” said Bron.

Can LeBron James and Co. exact revenge?

Anthony Davis missed out on a large chunk of the 2020-21 season due to injury. Injuries to himself, and LeBron stopped them repeating the magic they produced in the 2019-20 season.

However, the Lakers utilized this offseason to the best of their abilities. Making changes and additions that seem excellent, at least on paper. With both of them back healthier, and with an even better supporting cast, their future looks bright.

Of course, the Western Conference will be more competitive than ever but the Lakers look prepared for it. If they fail to perform this season as well, they can expect even worse treatment from the fans.
