"He finna be dangerous in those 5 games he plays next season", That slow a** shot ain’t winning nothing lol" - Fans slander Anthony Davis after 'Lethal Shooter' uploads clip of him working on his shot

Anthony Davis in action for the LA Lakers

LA Lakers superstar Anthony Davis is no stranger to being mocked. It comes with the territory of being a top player in the NBA.

Davis is potentially one of the best big men in the league. With a unique skillset that allows him to score at multiple levels, Davis is a key element in the Lakers' offense.

Unfortunately, the 29-year old hasn't spent much time on court as of late. He missed significant portions of the last couple of seasons due to recurring leg injuries.

He is also coming off one of the worst shooting seasons seasons of his career. As such, the Lakers superstar is keen to improve and was recently spotted working on his jump shot with renowned shooting coach Chris Matthews, popularly known as Lethal Shooter.

Anthony Davis locked in! Every completed rep with The Art of Shooting is one step closer to a GOAL. I never take it lightly when players trust me to make changes to their jumpers.🎯 -Stay locked in! @AntDavis23 #NBA #LethalShooter https://t.co/1XOmFpxEwn

This did not stop fans from poking fun at the former Pelican. Here are some of the best responses to a video of Davis' training on Twitter:

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ That slow ass shot ain’t winning nothing lol.

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ No offense but what’s “dangerous” about this?

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ he finna be dangerous in those 5 games he plays next season 👀

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ Empty gym
Plus that’s not even in “game speed” 😹😹😹

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ Looking dangerous? Buddy he’s dribbling into open 3’s, going about 75% (give or take), starting from half court to the 3 point line, really is not impressive. This should be a qualification for the league

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ great form as well if he stays healthy he can be top 10 again in the NBA maybe even top 5-7

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ Dangerous??? He looks slow. And honestly, i can careless if he can shoot a 3 when no one is on him. Lets work on moving without the ball and consistently hitting the mid range or attacking the rim. Lets work on the ball not sitting in his hands for half the shot clock.

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ how the hell is this dangerous

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ Dangerous? https://t.co/cDyHFIpHuo

@LethalShooter__ @AntDavis23 Should start with a drop step or jump hook. You're 7 foot!

@A_tmoore @LethalShooter__ @AntDavis23 He ain’t ever getting that much time to get that shot off 😂

@LethalShooter__ @AntDavis23 He's never going to take a pull up 3 during a game but ok.

@ClutchPointsApp All this just to fall on the ground in the 3rd game of the season and dislocate his spine

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ Is he planning on bring the ball up court? Am I missing something?

@overtime @AntDavis23 @LethalShooter__ guauuu,thats move is Faster than my old car!

What can the LA Lakers expect of Anthony Davis next season?

Anthony Davis attempts to finish through contact

Anthony Davis is coming off one of his worst seasons in a Laker uniform and will be eager to make amends next season. Watching the big man work on his jump shot will no doubt be reassuring to Lakers fans.

With a game that is predominantly based on mid-range fadeaways, a solid outside shot would definitely make him a huge threat once again.

According to @cleantheglass, HALF of Anthony Davis' shots are coming from the midrange in the playoffs, he is shooting 51% from there (57.6% overall and 66.2% true shooting). Just absurd.

I can only assume witchcraft is involved for someone his size to be able to do this. https://t.co/KtOGY7OqlP

Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka recently explained how impressed he was with Davis' work ethic this offseason. He went as far as to say that Davis has put together one of the best offseasons of his career.

Rob Pelinka spoke very highly of the work Anthony Davis has been putting in this offseason.

Ultimately, Davis will need to find a way to stay fit for the majority of the season if the Lakers are to have a shot at making the playoffs.
