For the majority of his 16-year career, LeBron James has been considered the most well-rounded player in basketball. He's always been among the league's best playmakers, became an ultra-impactful defender over the final years of his initial stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and developed into a dangerous three-point shooter off the catch and the dribble during his days with the Miami Heat. He's a great rebounder, versatile screen-setter, and effective rim-protector, too.

But right in the thick of his mid thirties, it's fair to say Father Time has finally taken its toll on James. He missed more games last season than any other, and picked his spots defensively to an even more debilitating extent than before. Even the last time James turned it on for the playoffs, dragging the undermanned Cavaliers to the Finals with one of the most dominant individual postseasons runs of all time, he still couldn't quite muster full-time commitment defensively.

James is so good and so versatile otherwise, though, that there's still an argument to be made he's the game's most complete player. But at Anthony Davis' introductory press conference with the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, general manager Rob Pelinka suggested otherwise.

“There is no more complete basketball player in the game,” Pelinka said of Davis, per Lakers beat writer Mike Trudell. “There is nothing he can’t do. He can shoot. He can make plays. He can defend 1-5. He can protect the rim. He can handle the ball. His dedication to his craft is unparalleled.”

Davis definitely has fewer holes in his game on defense than James, and is indeed one of the most skilled big men to ever play. Los Angeles paid a king's ransom to acquire him for a reason. But is Davis a more complete player than James? That it's a nuanced debate one way or the other speaks to just how dominant the Lakers could be going forward.
