Did Davis become desperate after winning 1 championship?
Recently, Davis said bluntly in an interview: Since April 5, he has not shot a basket or picked up a basketball.
In this regard, NBA star Reggie Miller said it is difficult to understand, after all, Davis has been selected as the "NBA's 75th Player" and has won a championship, and should train harder to improve his historical status. In addition, to Reggie Miller, Davis doesn't seem to love basketball.
Objectively speaking, the Lakers' record is closely related to Davis' health. For example, in the 2019-20 season, Davis played 62 games in the regular season in his first season with the Lakers, and the Lakers achieved a record of 52 wins and 19 losses, ranking first in the West, and eventually winning the championship of the season; In the 2020-21 season, Davis played only 36 games, and the Lakers achieved a 7th place in the West under James, losing 2-4 to the Suns in the first round of the playoffs; In the 2021-22 season, Davis played 40 games in the regular season, and even though James averaged 30+ points per game, the Lakers still missed the playoffs.
In stark contrast, 37-year-old James and his two sons practice at home, while Davis, 29, has not been exposed to basketball for more than 2 months. Based on this, it is inevitable to wonder whether Davis, who won a championship, is really satisfied with the status quo?
