Anthony Davis’ Newfound Motivation Has Been Revealed

Fans demand a lot from their stars these days.

No one knows this better than Anthony Davis. Davis has been put under a microscope and it has led to some hefty criticism from both fans and TV talking heads. Most recently AD was roasted by NBA Twitter after he came out and said that he hadn’t even touched a basketball since the end of the regular season. This outraged everyone, basically he admitted he’s not in love with the game. Immediately after this criticism, Davis took to the gym where he has been engaging in early-morning workouts.

According to a report from Marc Stein, it seems as though the slander is ultimately what pushed Davis into a brand new direction. As the NBA insider wrote on his Substack, Davis has a newfound motivation that has him working harder than he ever has before. Without the criticism, no one knows if Davis would be going this hard.

“Anthony Davis’ surprising disclosure in mid-June that he hadn’t shot a basketball since early April might have been a blessing in disguise. Davis, by all accounts, has been working out with increased diligence ever since his comments generated a wave of strong criticism.”

The Lakers had a horrific season last year and Davis once again couldn’t stay healthy.

If he can remain healthy throughout a season the Lakers can definitely be in the hunt for a Championship.
