Anthony Davis has been extremely dominant for the Los Angeles Lakers this season, and there is no doubt that he has been the best player on the team. He is currently averaging 27.7 PPG, 12.4 RPG, and 2.2 BPG.
There is no doubt that many believe that Anthony Davis should continue being the No. 1 option for the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, Shaquille O’Neal has recently claimed that LeBron James likely would be willing to give Anthony Davis the ball if he demanded it. Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports relayed the news.
You have to exclude LeBron from this conversation. Let me tell you why, LeBron is the one, but LeBron is a pass first guy. LeBron is a true– definitely LeBron. You open, LeBron’s going to get that thing to you.
Like, that’s the type of guy you want. LeBron is pass first guy. So I know he’s about to pass all these other legends up to score, but LeBron is a pass first guy, so all that stuff about whose team is it? If AD demands the ball, I’m guaranteeing you, LeBron probably will give it to him.
LeBron James has admitted that he is a pass-first player previously, and Shaquille O’Neal’s guess is likely right. James is generally willing to empower other scorers on the team, and that would likely be even more true for a player of Anthony Davis’ caliber. It remains to be seen how that dynamic will continue to develop throughout the season, but it is clear that Anthony Davis is the team’s best offensive player as of right now.
Lamar Odom Believes Anthony Davis Could Be The Greatest Player Ever If He Had Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Mentality
There is no doubt that Anthony Davis is one of the most talented players in the league, and currently, he is playing at an MVP level. Previously, Lamar Odom claimed that Anthony Davis could be the best player ever if he had the same motor as fellow superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“A.D. is probably more skilled than Giannis Antetokounmpo,” Odom said.
“Giannis has that different motor and mindset,” Barnes said. “Oh, it would be over (if Davis had Giannis’ mindset). It would be the best player ever created.”
“If A.D. had Giannis’ mind and motor, oh, it’d be over. It would be unfair. God knew not to do that, though.”
Anthony Davis is already a fantastic player, and imagining a better version of him is downright terrifying. He is still in his prime right now, and perhaps we will see him get even better in the future.
The key for Anthony Davis this year is definitely availability and consistency. The Lakers’ playoff hopes rest on his shoulders, and we’ll see if he continues to rise up to the challenge.
