LeBron James says Anthony Davis in game 4 showed ‘why he’s the Defensive Player of the Year’
Davis ended game 4 with 22 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assist and 4 blocks
After the game 4 victory over the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James praised the defensive work of Anthony Davis, who was the primary defender on Jimmy Butler.
"That’s why he’s the Defensive Player of the Year," LeBron James said about his star teammate after recording a game-high 28 points, 12 boards and eight assists. "We said that all year. His ability to play one through five, guard anybody on the floor, take the challenge, not only guard on the perimeter, and continue to protect the paint. Guards drive on him. It’s hard to score on him. You see how high [Tyler] Herro threw that ball up? It went in, but he had to throw that thing up to the skyscrapers, right? That guy can do everything defensively. Guarding the ball, guard the post, slide his feet with guards, contest, can body up with bigs. I mean, need I say more?
Davis ended game 4 with 22 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assist and 4 blocks, shooting 8/16 from the field and 4/4 from the foul line.
