Anthony Davis Cracks Joke About LeBron’s ‘Age’ Following Latest Team USA Win

ICYMI, team USA narrowly defeated Germany with a score of 92-88 in a pre-Olympic showcase on Monday, with LeBron James once again taking center stage. Sheesh, these games are CLOSE! Either Team USA is not quite gelling or the rest of the world has caught up. Thinking it’s the latter TBH.

James dropped 20 points, grabbed six rebounds, and dished out four assists, shooting an impressive 8-of-11 from the field in just 18 minutes of play. Brown is the oldest player in the NBA. Absolutely insane what he can still do. 

LeBron’s performance has been a constant in Team USA’s showcase games, earning recognition from everyone, including his Los Angeles Lakers teammate, Anthony Davis.

Davis, who has also been a standout player for Team USA, has embraced his role off the bench, allowing James to shine. In the game against Germany, Davis contributed 10 points, seven rebounds, and one block in 14 minutes.

Get this, as they headed back to the locker room after the win, Davis joked about LeBron’s ability to perform at such a high level even in his mid-40s.

“He’s still doing it at 45” Davis, hilariously said. LeBron is not but you get the sarcasm, right?

Davis humorously acknowledged James’ continued dominance despite being the team’s oldest player by several years. We said it so, it’s only right Davis did too, since he’s so close to the punchline.

Over their five up and down seasons together in Los Angeles, Davis and James have developed one of the NBA’s strongest teammate bonds. While others might hesitate to joke about James’ age, because he can cook just about anyone in the league, Davis has no qualms about playfully ribbing his older teammate, a testament to their close friendship.

James, now 39 and entering his 22nd NBA season, continues to lead and excel for a Team USA squad favored to win gold in Paris. Davis’ jokes, born out of deep admiration, highlight the remarkable longevity and enduring talent of LeBron James. Respect your elders, and don’t forget to crack a joke here and there along the way.
