NBA Fans Correct Jeanie Buss Following Her Disrespectful Aim at Anthony Davis

It has been almost a month since the Lakers traded Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Dončić. At first, many doubted the trade, but over time, Luka’s chemistry with LeBron James has surprised everyone. Some even compare them to the legendary Shaq-Kobe duo.

However, AD was not a failure for the Lakers. While the team’s winning percentage wasn’t perfect with him, his scoring ability was always strong. NBA fans still respect him, so when Jeanie Buss made some disrespectful remarks about him, fans couldn’t stay silent and reacted strongly to the Lakers’ president.

In a recent interview with NPR, Jeanie Buss shared why the Lakers traded Anthony Davis and didn’t hold back on his frustrations with the team. She said, “Anthony Davis was complaining about where he was being played and he wasn’t happy.”

“We have lost the last three years in a row to the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs, and we really didn't have anything that was going to look different going into the playoffs again. Anthony Davis was complaining about where he was… pic.twitter.com/jiUTo9uI4t

She also mentioned that the Lakers hadn’t beaten the Denver Nuggets in three years, suggesting that Davis might have been the reason for those losses. Anthony Davis played at an MVP level and often scored even better than LeBron James in many games.

That’s why NBA fans quickly defended him and called out the Lakers president for her comments.

Anthony Davis fans prove Lakers president wrong

Buss’s comments during the interview with NPR upset many of Davis’s fans. They feel her words were rude and not needed. Some fans also think Buss gave wrong information about the Lakers’ losses to the Nuggets, and they had to correct the Lakers’ president.

@BronGotGame commented, “We lost to the Nuggets twice not 3 times lady, also put some respect on AD. He asked for a simple request to play alongside another 5 that you guys ignored for years. He put his body on the line for this team. Show some respect.”
