Lakers News: Anthony Davis Details Why He Wants To Play With LeBron James

It may have taken five months, but the New Orleans Pelicans officially traded Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers where he will get to play with LeBron James.

As Davis looked up to James and Michael Jordan growing up, there is a narrative about players not wanting to play with the 34-year-old. It initially started when Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers despite one championship in three straight NBA Finals appearances.

Since then, Paul George decided to re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder and most recently, Kawhi Leonard decided to team up with him on the Los Angeles Clippers.
