Los Angeles Lakers superstar big man Anthony Davis is looking forward to the rivalry with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2019-20.
There's a lot of star power in Los Angeles now. The Lakers have LeBron James, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, while the Clippers have Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Lou Williams.
Needless to say, the games between the Lakers and Clippers at Staples Center are going to be epic:

The Lakers and Clippers are both title contenders with their new-look rosters. Lakers fans are hoping Davis and LeBron can lead the Purple and Gold to banner No. 17, while Clippers fans are looking forward to seeing what Leonard and George can do together with Doc Rivers coaching them from the sidelines.
Because the Lakers haven't made the playoffs since 2013, there's more pressure on them in 2019-20. We have to remember that Davis becomes a free agent in the summer of 2020 once he declines his 2020-21 player option. If The Brow doesn't like what sees in his first year in Los Angeles, he could leave, which would be a disaster scenario considering all the assets they gave up to acquire the six-time All-Star.
All the games between the Lakers and Clippers next season figure to be on national television. Every basketball fan is going to want to watch LeBron and Davis go up against PG and Kawhi.
