The Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis spoke about his relationship with LeBron James ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat.
According to Davis, he and LeBron hold each other accountable and point out each other’s mistakes. And it doesn’t end with star players. Everyone on the Lakers’ roster feel comfortable telling others where they need to improve.
“We hold each other accountable,” Davis said. “When we watch film or even throughout the course of a game, I do something wrong, he tells me. If he does something wrong, I tell him. I think that’s what makes it work. Knowing that we trust one another to make reads, to make calls. We’re able to talk to one another.
“Some guys on some teams are afraid to jump on their star player. On our team a guy can tell a guy something and we know it’s coming from a great place, we know it’s coming from a guy who wants to win.
“But me and Bron have always been able to communicate with each other about whatever it is on the floor. Which I think helps us knowing that whatever he’s telling me is coming from a good place, knowing he wants to win. And then off the floor we just since I went to his camp and then in 2012 the Olympic team we just built that relationship which kind of lasted till today.”
