Won't be AD's league for a while because his team is not good enough.
2014 NBA Off-Season; Paul George suffers a double-compund-fracture, likely out for season. Speedy re

The Pelicans' front office might be a bigger obstacle to Davis' greatness than opposing players.

Have some hope for cousins too, he's good and has proven so, but I don't think his temper is going to profit him much... maybe in an certain situation he would flourish, maybe with like artest's pacers or something but I don't see much of his future with the kings

the general dropped 71 in a modernized NBA with shot clock , 3 second rule in paint rule , 8 seconds back to basket rule.....champion , played defense and very strong offense ( obviously...the bulls have trouble cracking 71 as a whole. ) ...a case can be made for david robinson no ?

I think he might be top 3 along with Bron and KD this upcoming season, not like years down the road.

His free agency year, whenever that comes, is going to be stupid. Flat out, 15+ teams blatantly cheating the system, stupid.
Off shore accounts, burners, the works.

There's legit nothing wrong with his temper.
Kobe, KG, and others do the same **** and they have "passion" and "fire."
Demarcus does it and he's a "Malcontent"

This was the game from last season where I was just in awe of how this guy was dominating on both ends of the floor.

My gawd if they would have just kept Nerlens and taken anyone else besides Rivers, they could have been the new OKC.

I always figured Davis was going to be the goods, but when I saw him curling off screens like Ray Allen I was like "Yeesh".

As bad as his defense is,
He's still an elite scorer on high volume (38% on 6.6 attempts) .591 TS% and still one of the league leaders at getting to the line, One of the best passing big men in the league as well as ast/to ratios, The best rebounder in the league. 3rd in the league in PER (Higher than AD) 120 ORTG(High than AD) as well as the Wolves are +10.3 with him on the court.
He's got a case to be in the mix with the others

Where did I say LaMarcus Aldrige was better than Davis?
I said there's alot of projecting in regards to AD but he isnt the 3rd or 4th best player in the NBA yet
I dont care what PER says
PER says David Robinson is 4th best player of all time
Read again dude. You said projecting, I gave you LAST YEAR'S numbers, not projections. Last year, at age 20. Read them again. Those aren't projections. Those are scary, scary numbers, from a kid that can't buy beer yet.
Those are great numbers but thats doesnt translate to being the 3rd or 4th best player in the NBA currently
Can he get there? Yes
Is Davis there yet? No
Numbers dont tell the whole story

Give AD Lillard, and a coach that will force AD the ball, and his numbers do what? I mean, he already put up 21 a night, in just 35 minutes, on 52% and he's not even being "force fed" the ball yet.
So you can value LMA drawing doublesthat don't make him the better play, just cuz.
And ignore win shares, that's fine, but you want to ignore PER too? That isn't a team skewed stat, and LMA never even SNIFFED a 26 PER, AD got that at age 20.
i can argue his high PER, and FG% are based on the kinds of shots he takes, and not necessarily his offensive skill.
NOT saying he isn't skilled.
NOT saying he's a garbage man.
right now, he scores more like shawn marion in his prime if shawn was a traditional PF. NOT saying he plays like marion.
better comparison is exactly how blake was scoring his first and 2nd years in the league.
again, AD has next. but now we got kids saying they'd rather have him over KD. that's when i step in

He's a freak of nature, that being a guard thing your whole life and having a growth spurt to 7 feet is something I've never seen translated and integrated seamlessly like he's been able to do. Most guys either decide to be one or the other, the way he's been able to be elite at both facets and actually use those skills are remarkable. He's definitely in my top 5 must see guys playing now.

I'm not a kid. So kill the condescending BS...
AD is on a trajectory to be the best big this league has had since Duncan's prime... I think he's in that territory in short order.
If I'm starting from scratch right now and I want to build something that has a chance to win for the next decade, I could talk myself into Anthony Davis ahead of Durant. Is he better right now? No. Can he be relatively soon? Absolutely.

I'll say it.

Kobe, KG, and others do the same **** and they have "passion" and "fire."
Demarcus does it and he's a "Malcontent"
FREE BOOGIE.
Free him of this undeserved rap thats been cast over him
Let him be great, he ain't doing anything so outlandish that other superstars don't already do.
He will make the Kings great sooner or later..... Probably later tbh, but it'll happen
