Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis made the most of his limited time on the floor on Monday as Team USA escaped with a 92-88 victory against Germany in a pre-Olympics tune-up game. The nine-time All-Star logged 10 points, seven rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a block in just 14 minutes off the bench to help the Americans overcome a determined German side.
It was AD’s Lakers superstar teammate LeBron James, however, who took Team USA home.
Los Angeles Lakers News: Anthony Davis In Awe of LeBron James
After watching LeBron go off for 11 points in the final quarter, Davis was at a bit of a loss for words as he walked back to the locker room. What is clear, however, is that even Davis continues to be left in awe by LeBron’s unbridled heroics.
“LeBron James. Monster. He’s still doing this at 45,” Davis said shaking his head.
"He's still doing this at 45!" 😅
AD on LeBron 😂

For what it’s worth, LeBron is turning 40 this year. For his part, Davis believes that his superstar teammate is still capable of playing at this same elite level five years from now.
In truth, the reality is that James will probably be out of the game by then. That does not mean, though, that he won’t be able to live up to Davis’ bold claim.
