His injury during the post-season severely cost the Lakers, as the Purple and Gold looked depleted and completely off against the Phoenix Suns. Keeping all of that aside, the big man will be itching for an incredible 2021-22 season. With the addition of stars like Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook, the Lakers look like a stacked team. However, many believe this could be the year where Anthony Davis explodes to his actual potential. One of them is surely Shannon Sharpe, who heaped praise on Anthony Davis and his abilities on a 6-foot-10 frame. Speaking on the Undisputed, the three-time NFL champion said:
How important is Anthony Davis to the Lakers’ championship chances?
Anthony Davis is easily one of the best big men in the league. His brilliance on the court during the first season with the Lakers impressed many fans and NBA experts. During the Lakers championship-winning season, Davis averaged a staggering 27.7 PPG, 9.7 RPG and 1.4 blocks per game during the postseason to help the Lakers get to the title.
If the Lakers have to succeed this year, they will once again need Anthony Davis to be at his very best during the regular season. His ability to shoot the ball and use his raw physicality to score in the paint makes him a great threat to any team’s defense. Speaking about AD, on the Undisputed with Skip Bayless, Shannon Sharpe said:
Just last week, Anthony Davis married his long-term girlfriend, Marlen P. His teammates LeBron James and Russell Westbrook attended the reception. Happy and rejuvenated after celebrating the best day of his life, Davis is all set to be back with the Lakers. He will be hoping to keep the disappointment from last season behind him and focus on getting to greater heights during the 2021-22 season.
