It may have only been the first game of the 2023-24 NBA season, but Stephen A. Smith has already seen enough from Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers.
After a scoreless second half from Davis led the Lakers to 119-107 opening night defeat against the Nuggets, Smith called the star big man’s play “atrocious” and believes it’s proof of why the Lakers will come up short in their hunt for another ring this season.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you just saw the reason why the Los Angeles Lakers ain't going to win no championship this year,” Smith said. “I’m so ticked off at Anthony Davis right now, it’s an embarrassment what happened with him yesterday.”
