Anthony Davis has become the leading man for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2024-25 season, leading the team in several categories and propelling them to a postseason spot in the Western Conference.
While LeBron James remains one of the most elite players in the league, it feels like the torch was passed to Davis who’s assumed more leadership responsibility as well. Head coach JJ Redick said his plan was to feature and empower Davis more and so far it’s worked close to perfection as the star big man is having arguably the best season of his career.
