NBA fans blast Anthony Davis-Osama bin Laden edit by Lakers faithful: "Most toxic fanbase in the sport"
NBA fans blasted the LA Lakers fans for trolling Anthony Davis after the Lakers' 127-102 loss to the Denver Nuggets. On Saturday, the X account of "LakeShowYo" posted a picture edit of the Lakers star as the deceased al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
The NBA fans didn't appreciate the Anthony Davis-Osama bin Laden edit. One of the fans said that Davis had just one bad game this month, and disrespecting him wasn't right.
"One bad game in November yall out of your minds with this disrespect," the fan wrote.
Some of the fans called out the Lakers fanbase and even called them "toxic."
"Terrible fanbase get this shi off my screen," a fan wrote.
"AD been carrying these bums and look how they do him after one bad game most toxic fan base in the sport," another fan wrote.
Even one of the Denver Nuggets fans came in support of the 2020 NBA champion, calling out the fans for being "toxic."
"As a Denver fan, y’all are toxic, without AD y’all team would’ve be a G-league team 🤧🤧," the fan wrote.
Some NBA fans wrote that Anthony Davis has been carrying the Lakers team this season, and the Lakers fans' treatment of him like this was disrespectful.
"The Lakers might be winless if they didn't have AD. I swear man, worst fans in sports wrote.
"Disrespectful he’s been carrying this team all season," another fan wrote.
Anthony Davis reacts to poor shooting game vs. Nuggets
Anthony Davis, who has been amazing this entire season, had perhaps the worst games of the current campaign against the Nuggets. AD scored his season-low in points as well as shooting from the field. Before facing the Nuggets, the fewest points that Davis had scored was against the Memphis Grizzlies (21 points) on November 13.
On Saturday, Anthony Davis scored 14 points on 6-of-19 (31.6%) shooting from the field and missed both his shots from the 3-point line.
Davis did not seem too concerned about his poor shooting performance, though.
“Just missed shots. I think they were all great looks,” Davis said per Lakers Nation. “It’s a miss or make league. I’ll make more than I’ll miss, for sure.”
The Lakers will face the Nuggets two more times in this regular season. They will face each other in February and March next year. So, Davis will have to wait for a bit more before he can even think of a revenge game against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.
