Is Anthony Davis LeBron James’ Best Counterpart? Dwyane Wade Weighs In

Davis' case could be made a bit stronger with an NBA title, of course

LeBron James always has been Batman, but he's had a few very good Robins.

Of course, there was Dwyane Wade, who James won two NBA titles with during his days with the Miami Heat. Then there was Kyrie Irving, a teammate when James won his third NBA title as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016. And now there's Los Angeles teammate Anthony Davis, who has helped James lead the Lakers to a 1-0 series lead in the 2020 NBA Finals.

The combination of Davis and James, and perhaps due to recency bias, now has prompted a question: Who has been James' best counterpart?

Former Boston Celtic center and current NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins offered his opinion Friday night -- Davis.

And it has drawn a response from Wade himself, who actually agrees.

The combination of James and Davis obviously could make their case stronger if the duo is able to win the Lakers their 17th NBA Championship.
