Anthony Davis on LeBron James' Madden transformation into a competitive player

Davis disclosed how LeBron James transformed into a competitive Madden player during the Join the Lobby podcast. He said that during the pandemic, Madden was a favorite among the Lakers teammates in the NBA bubble at Walt Disney World Resort Orlando. Davis, one of the top three players on the team, would beat 31-year-old James.


This loss sparked James' interest in not only picking up gaming again but also mastering Madden. "It made him so determined that he'd say, 'I'm getting right back into this,'" Davis remembered.
