INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The man who prides himself on seeing the play two plays ahead couldn’t see the biggest no-look pass in NBA history, as LeBron James still seemed in a state of shock in the aftermath of the Luka Donu010diu0107-Anthony Davis trade.
One could argue James would be equal parts staggered and intrigued, paired with a talent like Donu010diu0107 but shipping out Davis, the player James helped bring to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2019 — the player who gave James a new lease on life at the time, the player who helped James become a champion for the fourth time.
