In a strong show of support, LeBron James has emphasized that Anthony Davis shares leadership responsibilities with him within the Lakers team, as reported by Mike Trudell.

James hailed Davis as an exceptional player, highlighting his significant contributions and impact, referring to him as one of the greatest big men in Lakers’ history.

“AD is great. AD is amazing. We’re co-captains and he’s just as much a leader of this team as I am. He’s everything that this franchise could ever want and more; he’s one of the greatest bigs to play for this franchise for sure,” James said about Davis.

This affirmation comes in after recent controversial remarks made by former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, casting doubt on Davis’ leadership potential within the Lakers, despite James’ acknowledgment of his vital role in the team’s dynamics.
