Anthony Davis has revealed what LeBron James has taught him since he joined the LA Lakers.

The pair already seem to have struck up a good relationship as teammates early on in the new NBA season.

The Lakers have the best record in the league so far after winning 14 of their 16 games.

Davis moved to Los Angeles from the New Orleans Pelicans in June after rumours about several trade deals involving the 26-year-old.

James joined the Lakers a year earlier from the Cleveland Cavaliers and the pair are hoping to help the team win a first NBA title for a decade.

Davis recently opened up on his relationship with James and spoke about what he has learned from the three-time NBA champion.

“He's very professional and another thing that I learned from him is that he just doesn't just do anything,” Davis told Sports Illustrated.

“He does what is best for him, he does what is comfortable for him. Sometimes it's not just about the money. if loves it he will do it, if he doesn't he won't. So that's some stuff I have kind of picked up as well.

“I remember when I first started, I was kind of just trying to do everything just to put my name out there. It was some stuff that I got into and I was like I really didn't like that.

“I should have never done that. So now it is just about does this really suit me? Is this best for me? Am I comfortable with this?

“So those are the things you have to think about now. and I think I've got a pretty good job with that.”

Davis is widely regarded as one of the best players in the NBA while many people reckon James is the best ever.

When it comes to playing in NBA play-off games and Finals though, it is LeBron with all the experience.

Davis insists he is hopeful of joining the likes of Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson in helping the Lakers win their first Larry O'Brien Trophy since 2010.

He added: “Oh man, it would be super special.

“The Lakers are an historic franchise with 16 championships and to be in the conversation on that list of legends who won there it will be special for me, my family and the entire organisation for all the players on the team that came together to sacrifice to be a part of something special.

“Obviously, it is a long way from now and we still have work to do and we know what our goal is and we are excited to even be in the conversation for an opportunity to win a championship.”
