On January 19, Beijing time, former NBA stars Pierce and Garnett talked about the Lakers in the latest podcast program. Pierce believes that James played MVP-level data, but could not get MVP. Garnett furrowed his brows, thinking he was supposed to decompress James but couldn't do it.
Pierce said: "MVP is a combination of individual and team success, James is in the MVP discussion, but can he get MVP? It is very likely that it will not be obtained, because the Lakers have a bad record, even if James can still do a lot of crazy things at the age of 37. ”
Garnett pointed the finger at the thick eyebrows that were recuperating. "I thought everything should have gone through AD, I thought he had the ability to carry this team, he came to L.A. to relieve the pressure on James, but now everything seems to be going in the opposite direction." Apparently, Garnett believes that thick eyebrows are not playing their due role and failing to play the role they should play.
Pierce also touched on the topic. "James was ready to hand over the keys to him (thick eyebrows), but I think the pressure on both of them was too much now. James shouldn't lead the team in the regular season, his energy should be reserved for the playoffs, and AD is the one who should lead the team in the regular season, but he is injured now, and the question is whether Davis can play a dominant role when he comes back. If he can do it, the Lakers will become very scary, but if he can't, I think the Lakers will be out of the play. ”
On the show, Garnett asks, "What does AD do in the summer?" Pierce responded: "I don't know, I think he should call you, they always say he's next Garnett. Apparently, Thick Brow didn't have contact with Garnett. Just today, Thick Brow posted photos of himself playing games at home on social media and promoted the Lakers' limited edition beer. So far this season, Thick Brow has averaged 23.3 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, played only 27 games, and has missed 17 games.
