Los Angeles Lakers

It sure didn’t take long for LeBron James and Anthony Davis to get comfortable with the Los Angeles Lakers. Separately, they were already two of the most electrifying talents in the league; now as teammates, the stars aligned for a Hollywood ending that couldn’t have been scripted better. Against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their 23rd game together, James and Davis showed the standard of excellence the rest of the world came to expect later that season. Whether it’s James rumbling toward the basket like a runaway train for a slam, Davis using his length to penetrate the lane or James using his unparalleled passing ability to reward his new best mate with an easy bucket, the Lakers could not be stopped. In the 142-125 win on December 8, 2019, the feared duo combined for 82 points, 11 rebounds, 19 assists and five steals and were well on their way to winning it all later that season — James’ fourth ring and Davis’ first.
