The Los Angeles Lakers are trying their best to repeat as NBA champions, and Anthony Davis is starting to realize just how difficult it is to go back-to-back in the NBA.
The Lakers star won his first Larry O'Brien trophy a few months back after a 4-2 series defeat against the Miami Heat in the Orlando bubble, and Davis now understands just how hard it is and has more respect for the Golden State Warriors and their recent success.
“Everybody wants to be a champion. That’s the toughest part,” Davis said in regards to the Warriors. “Now, as a champion, you come out this year and you really appreciate it … it was tough what they did. That’s very tough to come out and repeat.”
Davis even added and talked about the toughness of the Kobe and Shaq three-peat, while the Lakers are trying their best to win another title and go back-to-back, as hard as it will be.
He also joined Rachel Nichols and discussed the meaning of winning a championship and how hard it will be to repeat.

The Lakers have had an up-and-down start to the year despite their 14-6 record through the first 20 games. They just lost two in a row to the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons, but this Lakers team has the talent it needs in order to repeat as champions.
If they want to win another title, and number 18 for the purple and gold, Davis will have to play like the All-Star player he has been throughout his entire career.
