Anthony Davis Discussion: Thanks For The Ring AD!!!

It'll take 2-3 monster games from AD like we see all the time and Max to get enough minutes and freedom to start dropping some 20+ point games like he already did once here. Then their tune will start to change a bit. That defense is going to be something.

 

yeah, the disrespect for AD is taking the shine off this fan moment for me. b*******. the mavs fans have a right to be confused or upset, but AD can play basketball.

this guy sacrificed his prime to play second fiddle to a guy i think he was better than. the team never once tried to optimize his skillset in terms of team building. he didn't complain out loud until the very end, and now he's f***ing kwame brown? gtfo with this s***, everyone.

edit: i'm not finished. AD killed his rep forever by forcing a trade to us, and he was met with nothing but mr. glass s*** at every turn. why not 40/20s all the time, AD? why can't you play all 82 like...nobody else in the league does right now? let's leave him out of dpoy votes cuz we're mad about the trade demand. let's pretend like lebron dragged him through the playoffs when AD is one of the very best playoff performers in nba history and hit the most iconic shot in our title run.

his time here should have been better, and it's all blamed on him when without him, lebron would have no more rings and luka wouldn't be here now.

let's get some respect, maybe now that he's gone?

 

Completely agree. I do hope he gets some respect in a different uniform.

 

At his best I think he's better than Duncan or KG.

He just happened to play in the 3 ball era and that's his only weakness as a player. (and availability to a lesser extent)

 

At his best, I'll give you KG. I can't with Duncan

 

KG- yes.
He’s not better than Duncan though. That dude was the best player on FIVE Championship Teams.

 

I understand. I wonder how Duncan would have faired in today's game though. His range was limited, can't really run on a break, and can't defend on the perimeter like Davis.

 

Davis has been the best switch defender big I’ve seen since Hakeem. He’s way better than JJJ at it. Being a defense first fan, I will miss him the most on that end of the floor.
