LeBron James Fires Back At Reporter Who Says He ‘Had Grown Frustrated With Anthony Davis’

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James fired back at an NBA reporter who said he had grown frustrated with Anthony Davis.

LeBron and Davis are close friends. They also have the same agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Group. 

Doncic, LeBron and Davis were all stunned by the trade. Not one of the three superstars knew this would happen.  

The Lakers beat the New York Knicks at MSG last night behind LeBron, who had a 33-point triple-double. The leading scorer in NBA history was at dinner with friends and family when he found out that Davis was being traded to the Mavericks for Doncic. 

This is the most shocking trade in NBA history. Doncic is only 25. He’s already established himself as one of the greatest players of all time. Luka has career averages of 28.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.3 assists. He is third in NBA history in points per game. 

The Lakers now have LeBron and Doncic, while the Mavericks have Davis, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. 

“We are thankful for Luka and grateful for his efforts during his time with us,” Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison said. “He helped build this team and was an integral part of the success we’ve seen throughout the years, including our recent NBA Finals run, along with Maxi and Markieff who are veteran voices equally valued across this team.

“This is a new chapter, and we are excited to welcome Anthony and Max Christie to the fold. AD is an experienced veteran, who can play both ends of the floor while helping elevate us defensively. He knows first-hand what it takes to win, and I know he’s motivated to be a part of what we’re building in Dallas.”
