NBA insider Tom Haberstroh explains why he thinks Anthony Davis is poised to take the mantle of best player in the NBA from LeBron James and Steph Curry next season.
LeBron James shouted out the Warriors' "Strength in Numbers" mantra after the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Miami Heat in six games to win the 2020 NBA Finals, but then it fell short with a former Golden State point guard.
Quinn Cook became a two-time champion Sunday night. He also had to walk back to the team hotel after being left behind at the arena. The Lakers' team bus apparently forgot Cook, who let his teammates know on Instagram.
Cook hopped on JR Smith's Instagram Live and wrote "Gotta walk back after I win a fu--ing ring wtf" and "Make a Uturn."
