While the NBA GM survey ignored Anthony Davis, what coach Ham believes of his star

LeBron James and Anthony Davis are two of the biggest stars in the NBA and one of the most dominant duos, still, they have received disrespect from the league and the media.

The most recent league's GM survey was no exception as both stars were snubbed in different categories. Anthony Davis received the biggest disrespect from the survey.

Davis has been widely considered one of the best defenders in the NBA for several years now, as evidenced by his four All-NBA Defense team selections. But in this year’s survey, he was placed in the “also receiving votes” category for best defender in the league and ranked fourth in the best interior defender category.

Lakers head coach Darvin Ham was allowed to discuss Davis’ snub on the GM survey, and he took the chance to praise Davis for everything he does for L.A.’s defense.

The reason the Lakers believed and extended AD

“They’re entitled to their opinions, but all I know is he’s the heart and soul of our defense,” Ham said. “He allowed our defense to be right there in the top three and at No. 1 in certain stretches. Once the deadline passed, those things, the polls or people, whatever opinions, there’s a reason why they don’t really attach names to certain votes, but I don’t worry about that. I know what he is what he means to our ballclub, and who he is when we go up against the other 29 teams."
