LeBron James doesn’t have to look further than the Los Angeles Lakers locker room to see why he didn’t beat out Giannis Antetokounmpo for this season’s NBA MVP award.
He has a 6-10 teammate with a 7-6 wingspan who is athletic, skilled, talented, has handles, can score, rebound, defend – and showed Sunday night he can hit a game-winning 3.
Anthony Davis nailed a buzzer beater to give the Lakers a stunning 105-103 victory to put the Lakers up 2-0 on Denver in the Western Conference finals in the Orlando Bubble.
Game 3 is Tuesday.
How can James be considered the league’s most valuable player when he’s playing beside someone who can do it all – and then some.
