Following the title win, the Lakers faced injuries to key players like LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, heading into the 2023-24 season, both stars are healthy and focused on winning another championship. In a recent interview, Anthony Davis emphasized their motivation to win for the city of Los Angeles, clarify the perceived 'asterisk' on their previous championship, and shared their desire for a celebratory parade. Their past struggles have reignited the urgency to perform at a high level and build another winning team.
"One, we want to win it for the city. Two, we never got a parade. Three, there's a lot talk about an asterisk next to the championship, which I believe was probably the toughest championship to win."
"It seems fairly obvious that they're motivated to win a title, but that wasn't always seen as the end goal at times in recent years. For large stretches, it felt like the goal was to simply get the stars on the court for an extended time together."
