Lakers Anthony Davis' Stellar Season and Shaquille O'Neal's Influence

Despite enduring harsh analysis regarding his injury issues and inconsistent performance, Anthony Davis currently performs at a super high level, especially since he joined the Lakers. The campaign has sufficed to underscore his ability to endure, as he was a part of 68 out of 73 games with the Lakers.

Impressive Stats

Davis, who is consistently being dubbed as one of the league’s top players, is racking averages above career-best numbers across the board: 24.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists, in addition to 2.4 blocks per game, while shooting a great 55.3% from the field. The Lakers’ record successes have largely depended on him being on the court, with his playing style going a long way in determining the Laker’s overall progress in the first few games.

Shaquille O’Neal’s Influence

 The parents of Davis have asked Shaquille O’Neal to constantly observe Davis’ rehabilitation process to see the results of his hard work. They asked O’Neal to be the guardian angel and guide their son so he could live up to and exploit the league where he belongs.

Pressure and Expectations

In a way, being a Los Angeles Lakers player comes with heavy pressure, particularly because championship contention is one of the most pressing expectations. Most of the time, Davis in the Lakers found himself under intense spotlight and had to meet excessive reader expectations. The significance of O´Neal’s advice increases the pressure but reflects the squad´s confidence that Davis can perform well.

Davis’ Response

Nevertheless, the Pessiner has gone beyond the pressure and been supportive, which has seen them shine at times when their performance is needed most. Milwaukee Bucks are last in the regular season and play in a highly competitive Eastern Conference, becoming playoff contenders. He scored 34 points and secured 23 rebounds, 2 steals, and 4 blocks in double -overtime against the Milwaukee Bucks as well.

The Lakers travel the road ahead, and Anthony Davis will stay in the key position as the team goes through a stiff road trip. Whether he will be able to maintain the leading roles in the team for the rest of the season as the team will need to earn the play-offs will be the issue the team will need to address.
