While we all are aware of Bron-Davis as a star duo during matches, we can’t ignore the chemistry the two share on and off the court. Many believe that they have developed that when Davis got traded to Lakers last summer. Well, that isn’t true.
Lakers’ star duo, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, first met at the time of the King’s ‘Decision’
AD himself revealed his connection with LeBron and the first time he met the superstar.
‘The Brow’ was 15-years-old back when LeBron took ‘The Decision’ of his career. And that is exactly amongst the firsts in the duo’s history.“I remember catching a greyhound bus from Chicago and all the way to Ohio for his camp by myself, 15-years-old, and getting in his camp. I remember like, ‘Yo, that’s LeBron James’. I was there at his camp when he had ‘The Decision,'” Davis told ESPN.
