‘Your peak days are over’: 7x NBA champion urges LeBron James to ‘put his A** on the floor’ after teammate’s stellar performance

The Los Angeles Lakers have done their best to continue to perform despite the issues with their roster. The team has shown promising signs with four wins in their last five meetings, although LeBron James has missed a few games. The Lakers superstar recently returned to the team in their 105-94 win over the San Antonio Spurs.

However, James’ absence allowed teammate Anthony Davis to step in and put in some brilliant performances. As a result, seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry urged LeBron James to “put his ass on the floor” and give AD a chance to take the lead.

Robert Horry recently praised Anthony Davis’ efforts with the Lakers on his podcast Big Shot Bob. Horry praised Davis, who caused a stir on the court in LeBron’s absence. The eight-time All-Star has averaged 26.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in 16 appearances this season.

While praising Davis, Horry felt the Lakers star’s current form made him unstoppable. He claimed that probably only a few players, including Giannis Antetokounmpo, had the ability to keep AD.

Horry offers stern advice to LeBron James

Co-host B-Dog pointed out that LeBron James’ presence on the court could have affected his teammates’ confidence in their abilities. He felt that Davis started to “differ” when LeBron was on the court. B-Dog felt that in James’ absence, Davis had no choice but to play.

Meanwhile, Horry claimed the Lakers could still have a more active AD with LeBron on the floor. He suggested that LeBron should leave the ball. Additionally, Robert Horry said, “To me, if I’m being honest LeBron, you’re not the point. Your peak days are over. You know, that was two years ago. When the rebound gets you bring you a** on floor.

Robert Horry pointed out that LeBron tends to dribble and step back on occasion. The former NBA veteran told James he needed to involve Anthony Davis more in order to get good results in the future. Meanwhile, Horry felt that every ball that hit the floor had to go through AD to get better results for the Lakers. The NBA legend believed Anthony Davis was overshadowed by LeBron James’ dominance while suggesting Kevin Love’s example to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
