Lakers Rumors: Anthony Davis Changed Agents’ Perception

Anthony Davis enjoyed a rapid rise to the basketball mountain top after joining the Los Angeles Lakers, ending up with the first NBA title of his career.

Alongside LeBron James, he elevated his game and often took charge of happenings on the floor ahead of the acclaimed 35-year-old veteran. Of course, Davis has always been considered a generational talent.

He received a call-up from Team U.S.A. head coach Mike Krzyzewski and joined the stellar lineup of basketball greats which won the Olympic gold medal in 2012 even before making his NBA debut. But while his All-Star status has never been doubted, some wondered whether Davis belonged to the league’s elite and could perform on the biggest stage.
