LeBron James Sets Sights On NBA Title

by

LeBron James knows what it takes to win an NBA Championship. The four-time NBA Champion is starting to notice his Los Angeles Lakers are coming together. On Sunday, the Lakers defeated a lowly Rockets team 134-109. With the win, The Lakers now sit one game outside of the Western Conference sixth seed. Which is a huge opportunity to avoid the play-in tournament. However, a sixth-seed berth would have the Lakers playing the Sacramento Kings in the first round.

With the bottom of the Western Conference being a tight race, losing is not an option. As the final week of the regular season is here, the Lakers know what is at stake. Looking ahead to see a potential playoff opponent is irrelevant if you’re not in the playoffs. James’ teammate Anthony Davis also understands this. Davis had a monster performance on Sunday. The former number-one overall pick dropped 40 points in the Lakers’ dominating victory over the Rockets. Davis’ performance was exactly what LeBron was hoping to see.

LeBron James Has Eyes On Fifth Ring

When healthy, Davis and James can rival any other duo in the league. The only problem this season is they both can’t seem to stay healthy. LeBron knows the potential of the duo and understands the stakes at hand. After Sunday’s game, LeBron spoke with the media about what Davis’s performance means for the future of the team. “We want to be on the floor together and make magic…He’s definitely making magic right now for sure,” James stated. The Lakers have all those tools to be a tough matchup for anyone in the Western Conference.

No one seems to be counting out what the Lakers can do in the post-season. Seemingly for good reason. James is one of the greatest players to ever step on an NBA court. Davis isn’t too shabby himself. The pair have won an NBA Championship together already, during the 2020 season. They know that it can be done. However, the road to get there isn’t the road most travel to winning a title. Can the Lakers win their second title in the LeBron era? Sound off in the comment section below on your thoughts on a Lakers championship. For more on the latest news inside the NBA, stay right here at HNHH.

Cam’ron Roasts Anthony Davis For Questionable Locker Room Video

by

Cam’ron has been killing it as of late with his brand-new sports show dubbed “It Is What It Is.” As it stands, this show is being hosted on YouTube, however, it could very well be finding a new home at some point. Overall, this is due to the fact that numerous companies have been reaching out to Cam. The show is so good that there is now a bidding war for it.

A good example of Cam’s approach to sports commentary can be found in the Instagram post below. In this clip, Cam questions Anthony Davis for always being injured. However, after finding a hazing video from Davis when he was at Kentucky, even more questions were posed.

Cam’ron Questions AD

As you can see in the clip, Davis is naked on the floor of the locker room. Additionally, one teammate is holding him down and slapping his behind. Davis even appears fired up about the whole thing. His eyes go wide open and he sticks his tongue out. Cam was very obviously disturbed by the whole thing as he wrote “found out why AD hasn’t played a full season yet (frame 2) his extra curricular activities are wild pauuuuussseeeeee.” Furthermore, he went on to say “Lake show getting too freaky,” among other things.

If you are a fan of sports and you love Cam, then his show is absolutely worth listening to.

Anthony Davis Has A Message For LeBron James

by

Anthony Davis is going to have to step up and lead this Lakers team through a very difficult stretch of basketball. As we reported yesterday, LeBron James is going to miss a significant amount of games over the next couple of weeks. Overall, this is due to a foot injury that will be re-evaluated in about two weeks from now. Ultimately, this is horrible timing for the Lakers as they are trying to get themselves into the postseason. Although, without LeBron, that task is going to be a whole lot harder.

Last night, the Lakers played against the Memphis Grizzlies, who are the second-ranked team in the Western Conference. In the end, it was the Grizzlies who were able to come out on top. Consequently, the road to the playoffs has become significantly more difficult for the purple and gold. They will have to win a higher percentage of games to end the season, and there is no telling if they can actually pull that off. The Lakers are now relying on AD, who had a message for James after last night’s game.

Anthony Davis Speaks

“I don’t want him to rush back early,” Davis said. “I want him to get completely right and healthy before he comes back. It’s on us to step up and win basketball games.” Rushing back early would be the worst possible thing for LeBron to do. However, it is clear that Anthony Davis needs some help. The Lakers were able to improve their roster at the trade deadline, but they still aren’t as good as some of the other teams in the West. Needless to say, fans in Los Angeles better start praying for a miracle.

As for the Grizzlies, they are a team trying to get back on track. They went on a huge losing skid recently, but seem to be back in the driver’s seat. Overall, they are a team to watch out for as the playoffs approach in April. Let us know your thoughts on the Lakers and Grizzlies’ chances, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Anthony Davis Has Interesting Reaction To Russell Westbrook Signing

by

Anthony Davis is one of the best players in the league when he is healthy. Over the past two seasons, he, LeBron James, and Russell Westbrook could have been a big three. However, they weren’t exactly cut out for each other. Of course, we know what AD and LeBron are capable of. Although, when it came to Russ, it was very clear that he didn’t fit in with the team. As a result, we were hit with some pretty pathetic basketball. The fans in Los Angeles ended up turning on Russ, and the rest was history. Consequently, he was traded at the deadline.

Since then, Russ has been bought out by the Utah Jazz. This allowed Russ to become a free agent who could go anywhere he wants. In the end, he decided to remain in Los Angeles, albeit with the Clippers. This is great news for the Clippers, who desperately needed a point guard. Furthermore, it reinvigorates the battle of Los Angeles, as Westbrook can go on a revenge tour of sorts. As for the actual players on the Lakers, they do not seem to care about this new development.

Anthony Davis Reacts

While speaking to the media about Russ going to the Clippers, AD didn’t have much to say. As you will see, he isn’t even sure how Westbrook will help the team. “I’m not part of that team. I have no idea what their locker room is like, what their chemistry is like,” Davis said. “Honestly, I don’t really watch the Clippers like that… I got three kids. I don’t have time to.” From there, AD gave a bit more of a fleshed-out answer, noting that the Clippers were a team in need of a point guard. However, Davis still doesn’t know how it will work out for them. “I know they got rid of John (Wall) and Reggie (Jackson), so he’s another point guard for them,” Davis noted. “I’m not sure how [coach Tyronn Lue] will utilize him, but I’m pretty sure he’s happy to stay in LA.”

Overall, it is going to be interesting to track the Clippers, moving forward. They are a team that has a lot of pressure to succeed. Now, Russ will be inheriting that pressure which could go very badly. No matter what, it is going to be a lot of fun to watch. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Colin Cowherd Floats Anthony Davis To Dallas Rumor

by

Colin Cowherd is one of the most entertaining people on sports talk television. Overall, this is due to the fact that he is always changing his mind based on what the correct position is. For instance, he will make a prediction that is usually wrong. Subsequently, he will come into his show the next day and act as if he always knew the correct outcome was going to happen. It’s pretty funny to watch him do this, and fans have taken note of his various hot takes.

Typically, Cowherd will also provide fans with some wild rumors that a little birdie told him. These rumors can be quite outlandish, although sometimes, they feel like they hold some weight. On the most recent edition of his show, Cowherd felt the need to speculate on the relationship between LeBron James and Anthony Davis. There has been this sense that AD is upset with LeBron, although AD himself noted that is not the case. However, this did not stop Cowherd from delivering some rumors pertaining to the Lakers’ personnel.

Colin Cowherd Speculates

In the clip above, Cowherd claims that we could see a scenario in which the Lakers traded Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks. This could include a sign and trade for Kyrie Irving come the summer once Kyrie becomes a free agent. “LeBron and his camp have been frustrated by how many minutes he has to play,” Cowherd claimed. “They cant depend on Anthony Davis. They are also mad that Darvin Ham is not keeping the pressure on Anthony Davis.” These are definitely some interesting comments, although most Lakers fans are convinced this will not happen. After all, this is coming from Cowherd of all people.

The Lakers do remain in a precarious position. They need to make the playoffs in order to justify some of the moves they have made over the past year or so. If they cannot get that done, then this team is truly in shambles despite LeBron and AD’s presence on the team. Let us know what you think the Lakers are going to do, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Anthony Davis Explains Body Language During LeBron’s Record-Setting Moment

by

Anthony Davis has been having a bit of a difficult season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Overall, these difficulties mostly have to do with his health status. Davis is constantly going through injury issues, and it has messed with his ability to remain on the floor. However, when he does get on the floor, he has been pretty solid. Regardless, there is quite a bit of frustration within the Lakers locker room at this point, and it is very understandable as to why.

Unfortunately, that frustration seemingly manifested itself at the worst possible moment on Tuesday night. As we all know, LeBron was going for the all-time scoring record. Consequently, LeBron kicked it up a notch and scored 36 points in three quarters, which got him the record. Although, AD didn’t look all that enthusiastic as he was sitting down during James’ record-breaking shot. This became a viral clip on Twitter, and people began to ask themselves questions about Davis’ relationship with James. Yesterday, AD spoke out and answered for himself.

Anthony Davis Speaks

As you can see in the clip above, AD was adamant that he was just upset about the game. Furthermore, he didn’t actually know where LeBron was in relation to the record. Had he of known, he would have reacted with a bit more urgency. “Y’all know me and Bron’s relationship,” Davis said. “It’s nothing. [I was] upset about the game. We were losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder, a game we needed and I was pissed off that we were losing. It’s that simple. It’s nothing that has to do with Bron and he knows that. Everyone else on the outside looking in, that’s their opinion but I was pissed off that we were losing the game.” 

Moving forward, AD is going to need to be an MVP-caliber player for the Lakers. The roster has changed dramatically over the last couple of days, and they need some wins in order to make the postseason. LeBron James will also be back in the lineup this weekend, and hopefully, they can put the last week behind them. Let us know what you think of AD’s explanation, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

Anthony Davis Didn’t Seem To Care About LeBron’s Record

by

When Anthony Davis was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, it was clear that he and LeBron James were the best duo in basketball. Subsequently, in their first season together, LeBron and AD were able to win an NBA championship. Overall, this was an incredible achievement that gave Davis his first title, and LeBron his fourth. In recent years, however, the Lakers have regressed. Davis has dealt with numerous injuries, and there has been this sense that AD could be traded at some point. As for LeBron, he is clearly unhappy with some of the other moves that have been made by the front office.

Yesterday, however, was a much happier day for LeBron and the Lakers franchise. This is because James got to break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record. The Lakers were playing the Oklahoma City Thunder, and James needed 36 points. Consequently, LeBron was playing with added motivation and he ended up scoring 36 points in just three quarters. Overall, it was an amazing moment that had the entire Lakers bench on their feet. Although, there was one person who did not seem to care.

Anthony Davis Reacts

In the video clip above, you can see Anthony Davis sitting down on the bench as LeBron takes the record-breaking shot. It is a pretty sad state of affairs that showcases the fractured relationships within the Lakers’ locker room. Overall, fans were pretty shocked to see this as they thought James and AD were still good friends. Of course, fans could simply be overreacting to this. However, it is odd that anyone would want to sit down in the midst of greatness. At the end of the day, it just comes across like AD is jealous of what James accomplished.

Perhaps Anthony Davis was brought up in Kyrie Irving trade discussions. That is one of the theories that fans are floating around right now. Regardless, this is a bad look for AD, and it should be interesting to see how all of this develops over the coming days and weeks. If the Lakers don’t make the playoffs, then the fallout here could be huge. Let us know what you thought of AD’s actions, in the comments section down below.

Anthony Davis & The Lakers Get Amazing News

by

Anthony Davis has had horrible luck when it comes to his injury history. At this point, everyone knows that AD is constantly injured. Overall, it has hurt the Lakers the most, especially since they are the ones who need him in order to be successful. Without him on the floor, things just aren’t cohesive.

Consequently, his teammates and fans have been praying for his return. The Lakers are now 20-25, and if they want a spot in the playoffs, they need him back. However, if he rushes back to the court, then he will be no better off as the risk of reinjury is very high.

Good News For Anthony Davis

Now, however, it seems like AD is doing very well. According to ESPN‘s Dave McMenamin, AD isn’t feeling any pain anymore. Additionally, it is very likely he returns to action in just about a week from now.

“They’re going to have Anthony Davis back on the court,” McMenamin said. “Anthony Davis is, as we speak right now, potentially a week away from returning. He’s going to continue the ramp-up process, go through a couple full-fledged practices, full-court.

“And it will be all about how his body responds the next day. But if he has everything continue to go the right way, he will be back playing for the Lakers next week at Crypto.com Arena, and be with them for that entire road trip.”

This is incredible news for the Los Angeles Lakers. They are in desperate need of a boost, and having AD back on the court will most definitely do that for them. Hopefully, it all goes according to plan.

LeBron James Speaks On Lakers’ “Reality” Without Anthony Davis

by

LeBron James says that life without Anthony Davis will be “very challenging” for the Los Angeles Lakers. James spoke about Davis’ absence following the team’s 124-115 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day.

“Reality is, without AD, we lose a lot of length which we don’t have already,” James explained. “So we have to make up in ways that, without AD, is very difficult, very challenging. So, I think at one point we had a lineup of I think [Austin Reaves] was the tallest guy on the court.

James continued: “So, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out [that Davis is sorely missed].”

Davis is currently out of the lineup while nursing a stress fracture in his right foot. Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports that the team will reevaluate his health in two weeks.

“You throw everything up against the wall and see what sticks, ” Lakers coach Darvin Ham explained. “It’s one of those types of situations. AD’s not here, not in the lineup. We’re not going to start using that as an excuse. Hell yeah, it’s a big hole in our lineup. But now, we’re pros. We’ve got to step up.”

For the Lakers’ Christmas Day loss, LeBron James finished with 38 points on 13-for-23 shooting. He has now played in the most Christmas Day games in NBA history with 17.

The Lakers have dropped four straight games in Davis’ absence. The team is now 13-20 on the season, leaving them at 13th in the Western Conference standings.

Anthony Davis’ Foot Injury Hit With Another Update

by

Anthony Davis is one of the most dominant players in the league when he is healthy. However, that simply has not been the case over the past few years. Davis is constantly injured, and it has made it so that he never gets any sort of momentum going.

This was especially true earlier this week when it was revealed that Davis would have to miss time with a foot injury. Davis had been playing some of the best basketball of his career. Now, however, the Lakers will have to try and compete without him.

Anthony Davis Update

Overall, this is just bad news for the Lakers as they have a record of 13-18. This is not good enough to make the playoffs, and without AD, they will simply get worse. Subsequently, it is being reported that Davis has a stress injury and is now out indefinitely.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, however, there is some good news here. Basically, Davis will be reevaluated in about a week from now. From there, the next course of action will be revealed. That said, there is no real guarantee that the Lakers will be able to reactivate Davis. In fact, there is still the risk of Davis needing an operation, although the team seems convinced that won’t be necessary.

No matter what, this is not great for the Lakers. They need some sort of pick-me-up, and that won’t be coming anytime soon. But hey, at least they have the 2020 bubble.

Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world. Additionally, let us know what you think of the situation, in the comments down below.
