Just insane and just think you could have paid about $10 for a ticket to get into last nights game and watch it.

Wasn't sure if he was going to remain elite or just be an all-star.wildcats20;1819087 wrote:Anthony Davis final line...

Looks like maybe he's out to prove a point.

I know. Couldn't believe the lineup someone posted. Hoping he keeps it up. He's clearly a special player but to me he often gets forgotten about in the elite conversationCommander of Awesome;1819103 wrote:He literally plays with no one else.

Yeah he's never going to be a factor in the playoffs until they surround him with more or he leaves, which I think will happen.
But talent-wise, he's insane.

How many MVPs has he won? How many championships has he won? How many playoff series has he won?Ironman92;1819112 wrote:More athletic and what....8 inches more wingspan?
The answer is zero to all of the above.

Anthony Davis is trending down the path of the guy who puts up ridiculous numbers on a consistently bad team. If you put him on a good team with more than one other good player, he would not be putting up these numbers.
That being said, he's 10x the player Kevin Love is.

Very difficult to rate players who play on bad teams against players who play on good teams.
Lot of intangibles come into play. Kawhi Leonard is someone I'd take over Anthony Davis, but Leonard would never be able to drop the stats that AD dropped last night.

Not sure honestly. I see him as another K.Love, good stats on a bad team and I used to have K.Love as a top 5 player.Ironman92;1819132 wrote:Where's he rank of your top players? He crack top 10? Top 7? Top 5?
I'd give him top 10 status with an * and that * being that he's never won anything.

At least he's not top 26 like Mr. Top 26 himself.
I'd take Davis over Harden 10/10 and twice on Sundays.

What if Westbrook goes 29/11/9 and only takes his team to 39 wins and missing the playoffs? We know how good he was on one of the top teams with another huge star

There's no comparison between Westbrook and Davis. Westbrook has already accomplished plenty in the NBA and Davis has a ton of catching up do with before you can even begin the discussion.Ironman92;1819221 wrote:What if Westbrook goes 29/11/9 and only takes his team to 39 wins and missing the playoffs?

The hype on Davis is almost nauseating. One good game does not negate the fact that he is not able to carry his team anywhere but a first round exit in the playoffs at best. Pretty terrible.

Please compare the roster that Anthony Davis has to the 2012 Oklahoma City Thunder. Please.
