Following the LA Lakers’ 100-95 victory over the Phoenix Suns, LeBron James defended teammate Anthony Davis in a forceful rebuke to his detractors.

James said:

We don't give a sh-- about criticism about AD. We don't care. Nothing bothers us. AD doesn't care. I don't know if guys have figured that out. AD does not care. He's not on social media, so he doesn't see none of the crap. He rarely talks, unless it's to us. So, we don't give a sh-- about it, and he definitely doesn't.

Against the Suns, Davis answered his critics emphatically on the court. His stellar performance included 30 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, three steals, and three blocks.

Initially, prominent individuals such as Stephen A. Smith scrutinized Davis for his uneven performance in the second half against the Nuggets. But the Lakers’ triumph highlighted both Davis’s and the team’s collective resiliency. The Lakers responded forcefully, silencing critics while showcasing their cohesion and resolve and laying the groundwork for a successful season despite impending obstacles.
