Chris Webber Calls Out Anthony Davis: NBA World Reacts

April 14, 2022 by The Spun

Anthony Davis on the court for the Lakers.

During an appearance on the Colin Cowherd Podcast this week, former NBA star Chris Webber had a harsh message for Anthony Davis.

Webber made it clear he doesn’t believe Davis can be the star for any team. He thinks Davis needs a better player – like a LeBron James – alongside him to be successful.

“I never felt that way with AD, that he just needed help,” Webber told Colin Cowherd. “I felt that he could be that missing piece for someone else. I don’t know what he’s proven at. He’s a wonderful talent and he hit some big shots for LeBron. I get that. But we’re talking about him being the alpha and I don’t know when that’s worked. I’m not as high on him, injury or not.”

Lakers fans were quick to come to Davis’ defense.

“I mean Webber could never get the Kings beyond the Lakers so…” one fan said.

Others pointed to AD’s performance in the playoffs as a testament to his success.

“AD in the playoffs 27/10 Webber 19/9 AD put up averages of 29/13 against the super Warriors in two different series. What is the dude even talking about?” one fan said.

There’s no doubt Davis’ injury history had hurt his legacy among the all-time great players in the league.

However, he does have something Webber doesn’t: a ring.
