Part 5/9:
Another narrative worth exploring is LeBron's relationship with fellow superstar Anthony Davis. It appears that Davis, often seen as the Lakers' co-star, performs best when LeBron is on his game. Contrary to popular opinion, AD is not a self-starter. He relies significantly on LeBron's influence, often seeming to lose his rhythm when LeBron is not performing well.
In recent outings, Davis's performance has been subpar, culminating in two consecutive games where he's scored only 10 and then eight points. Fans are starting to question whether it's time for AD to transition into the primary leadership role on the team during LeBron's struggles, but for now, he seems to emulate LeBron's momentum—rising when LeBron shines and floundering during LeBron's underwhelming stretches.
