    Mostly agree with this but with one exception. When Kareem was AD’s age he was just as dominant on D.

    Not crazy about Davis shooting treys... Abused Tolliver on the low block tonight and made Whiteside look stiff.

    Got a couple on the stripe off a bogus foul call on Bazemore...Stotts ejected too.

    The mobility to switch defensively on to all four positions outside the 5 spot is just invaluable. Oh and 85% foul shooting? Burke commented that Davis can score all over the floor. An embarrassment of riches in one player. Just have to keep him upright all season into the playoffs.

    What he did on offense was ok for the Robin that he is. But his D is what gave me chills throughout the game. He intimidated the entire freaking Blazers team. I can't remember a Laker doing what he does on D, it's just pure joy to watch.

    I used to hear the "Robin" moniker for Kobe when he'd drop a casual 39 in a game. I used to slap those jackholes until they finally stopped saying it. Figuratively of course.

    KAT, Gobert, Jokic. Three elite NBA centers and AD destroyed them. I don't even think it's close on who the DPOY is. He switches to guards, forwards, and centers and does equally as well. On pick-and-rolls, he defends BOTH players. 50 point game tonight and no one could stop him. You have to be really dumb to think the Lakers gave up too much for AD at this point...

    It's nice when the leading contender for Defensive Player of the Year can also score 50 points.

    BI and Hart are averaging an efficient 35.8 pts and 13 boards though
