Video: LeBron James On If It Was Tough Playing Without Anthony Davis Following Blockbuster Trade

You might be wondering how LeBron James felt about playing without Anthony Davis after that blockbuster trade to the Mavericks. Well, let me tell you, he definitely had some thoughts on it. I mean, AD is a huge asset to the team, so it was probably tough for LeBron to adjust without him on the court.

But you know LeBron, he’s a total pro and always knows how to step up his game no matter what. He’s been in the league for so long, he’s seen it all. So even though it was probably a bit challenging at first, LeBron probably just took it in stride and found a way to make it work.

The Lakers had faced heavy criticism for not having a traditional center in their playoff rotation, relying on Dorian Finney-Smith, Rui Hachimura, and LeBron James as their primary frontcourt players.

After the game, Lakers superstar LeBron James was asked about playing centerless basketball following Anthony Davis’ trade to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic. LeBron was hesitant to comment on the situation, subtly referencing how Davis’ departure was handled.

“No comment. AD said what he needed to say, and then he was gone the following week,” LeBron said.

“I put the uniform on every night and give everything I have. That’s all that matters,” he added.

The Lakers’ only true center in the playoffs, Jaxson Hayes, appeared in just two games against the Timberwolves, playing fewer than 7 minutes per game.

LeBron James has been all about that “next man up” mentality. LeBron knows how to handle any situation like a pro, and he’s not letting a trade change his game. That’s why he’s the King!
