The stellar power forward Anthony Davis was ambitious in his presentation as a new Los Angeles Lakers player and warned that the Los Angeles team will fight for the NBA ring from this season.
The 26-year-old superstar, who joined the Lakers from the New Orleans Pelicans last month, will join LeBron James as one of the deadliest couples in the entire competition.
“I put our squad on the same level as any other (team). In any seven-game series, I think we would be victorious, “said Davis, who will wear the number 3 as his new number.
In the Western Conference, the Lakers – who have not made the playoffs in their last six seasons – will face off with neighboring Clippers Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Houston Rockets of Russell Westbrook and James Harden and the Golden State Warriors by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, among others.
However, the team’s general manager, Rob Pelinka, explained that the Davis acquisition is a “historic turn” for the franchise.
“There is no more complete basketball player” than Davis, he told the media.
“There is nothing he cannot do: he can shoot, make plays, defend all five positions, protect the basket, handle the ball … The dedication to his game is unmatched,” added Pelinka convinced.
