A.D. carrying trash like a GOAT. What a boss. Dude is the FMVP.

He is great no doubt. He is further proof you always get the superstar if you can. You trade all the draft picks you can, you trade whatever "young core" you have and you do it with a risk that the star won't stay around with only a year left on his contract. This is back to back years where the trade for a superstar has greatly benefitted a team even with the star only having a year on their contract. Kawhi left, but the Raptors will still take the season they got. The Brow likely stays though, but it is worth the risk either way.

yes....he....can :pimp:

[WhiteKyrie]

Honestly after seeing playoff bubble basketball in combination with the regular season. And how the Lakers were last season, compared to how vastly improved they were this year. Anthony Davis deserves MVP and defensive player of the year more than Giannis did.

[Spurs m8]

He deserves an asterisk ring

[HBK_Kliq_2]

AD/Rondo were already a 2nd round team. LeBron is just an upgraded Jrue Holiday. AD is the ALPHA no question.

[TheGoatest]

The 28-27 LeBron last season in the west carrying the 25-31 Davis last season in the west.
Won 3 times as many series against western teams as AD despite playing in the east his entire career. Against western conference champions, no less.
Whereas Davis has won 0 series against eastern teams like this Heat team, while LeBron has won 30+ series against eastern teams throughout his career.

[Axe]

yes....he....can :pimp:
Ad is better than that big boi embiid

[HBK_Kliq_2]

He deserves an asterisk ring

Agreed. This bubble will be remembered as a political/voting platform more then it will be remembered for basketball.

[Bawkish]

AD is the true MVP of the team

the moment he struggles you know they're gonna lose, even when his teammates performed well or not

he's gonna carry this team all the way to the championship

Wake up. What LeBron did in 2009 has nothing to do with this. AD is the superior player RIGHT NOW.

[BigtimeNBAFan]

Sorry loser, but your hero got his ass kicked in the first round by a garbage Clipper team that lost in the next round. It is funny, but also kind of sad seeing you post on a night like this. If I despised someone as bad as you do Lebron and that person was having success. I'd probably go find something else to focus on. There are other things than wasting away your life online hating on someone a billion times more successful than you.

[TheGoatest]

Wake up. What LeBron did in 2009 has nothing to do with this. AD is the superior player RIGHT NOW.

LeBron has been the Lakers MVP in the regular season and has been the MVP in each of the 3 playoff series + in the finals so far.
Kawhi scored 0 points in game 7.

[ImKobe]

Imagine calling anyone a troll with a shitpost like this. The only series Lebron was marginally better than AD statistically was the Houston series, where he outscored Davis by 2 points while being less efficient & that's because Davis only had 13 points w/ 9 FGA & a +29 in Game 5 blowout.

AD has led the Lakers in scoring and GameScore in 2 out of 3 series and is currently #1 in both categories in the Finals as well.

[BANE?]

Lebron is the Laker’s best player and he’s been just as good as AD this postseason, but you can’t tell me the lakers make the finals without Davis this season.

[TheGoatest]

The fact that they were without Rondo for the Blazers series makes LeBron easily the MVP of the series. It's not even a discussion. They had 0 other playmakers and would've gotten murdered with Caruso/KCP running the point over the entire course of the series.

And Davis was the MVP of the Nuggets series prior to game 5, where he was badly outplayed by a monster performance by LeBron. While Davis scored impressively against the Nuggets, he sucked defensively where he had to be bailed out by Dwight's defense against Jokic. Not to mention he finished the series with 3 straight games where he had 0 rebounds at the half and averaged less than 5 rebounds over those 3 games.

LeBron's all-round statline of finals' game 1 is easily more impressive than AD's.

[nineiron]

AD is the MVP on the Lakers, that's obvious

[eliteballer]

He deserves an asterisk ring

Indeed.

[Roundball_Rock]

If so, why didn't he do it in all those years in New Orleans? :oldlol: You are overselling what AD did to ease the pain of a likely 4th ring for LeBron. The Lakers went 6-3 without AD. They would be a 50+ win team without him--they just wouldn't be in the finals or even the WCF without him.

[tpols]

It really is incredible... the Lakers last year with Lebron... couldn't even make the playoffs. Even Kobe made it with worse help in the mid 2000s.

AD comes over? Insta-ring. KAJ numbers and domination. (actually better)

Can y'all not put 2 and 2 together?

He didn't take Steroids.

[FireDavidKahn]

PTS + Rebounds + Assist + Steals + Blocks. Lets add all these up so we can see who is contributing the most in the Play offs so far.

LeBron: 426 + 168 + 142 + 20 +15 = 771
AD: 466 + 149 + 59 + 18 + 21 = 713

No contest as to whose been more productive.

LeBron wins yet again, baby bois

What the **** is this argument? It's Lebron's job to run the ****ing offense, doesn't mean that Davis wasn't the best scorer and defensive player in the series. Lebron was still great, but not better statistically nor in most close game situations.

Davis was still the best overall player in the Denver series. Lebron had an amazing Game 5 but AD got them to that point, the buzzer-beater also gives him an extra boost here. If you look at the 4 wins, Davis was better than Lebron in 3 of them. As far as Game 5 goes, Davis outplayed Lebron just as badly in Game 1 and Game 4.

The Lakers are a completely different team from last year, including coaching...you need to troll better if you are going to troll.

If you look at the 4 wins, Davis was better than Lebron in 3 of them. As far as Game 5 goes, Davis outplayed Lebron just as badly in Game 1 and Game 4.

LeBron was responsible for 1.5 times as many points as Davis against the Blazers when you consider the points he assisted. He also had a higher FG%, 3pt% and even FT% than Davis against the Blazers. Not to mention the fact that he outrebounded Davis as well. Then when you consider that without him they would've had Caruso/KCP run the offense, it's not even a discussion that LeBron was the best player and MVP of the Blazers series.

AD didn't "get them" to game 5, he got them out of having the series tied at 1-1. Davis averaged 4.2 points more than LeBron against Denver. LeBron averaged 4.2 more rebounds and 6.4 more assists. His buzzer beater from game 2 doesn't change the fact that as the team's superstar PF/C he finished the series with three straight first halves with 0 rebounds. His numbers against Denver legit look like that of a SG and not a PF.

Davis' dismal game 5 against Houston was due to a blowout? Didn't LA score like 44pts before AD even took a FGA?

So why are you now giving him credit for his play in a bigger blowout in game 1 of the Finals than the Houston game?

[ArbitraryWater]

What did Davis do the last years?

It seems like one particular teammate has changed

1 being Davis' record without LeBron last year, and 2 being LeBron at .500 and the 4th seed pre injury?

Yea, we can.

That's the very same guy who said the lakers are no much for the rockets this year. Smh.

He had a devastating injury due to an erection lasting longer than 4 hours as he banged your mother.

[WhiteKyrie]

I personally think Anthony Davis was the MVP.

The way he turned around a floundering, lacking leadership lottery Laker team that was a mess from the season prior. An absolute lottery mess.

He basically, while proving in the playoffs, was the MVP and DPOY. 28/10/4 for the playoffs. Just ridiculous levels of production.

[Axe]

He elevated him into a bonafide contender.

[houston]

AD was the best player on the team

[TheGoatest]

LeBron winning the chip and Finals MVP with a #2 guy who had a 25-31 record with his team last season. That's why LeBron is the undisputed GOAT.

Kobe winning gold medal with a guy who was 0-2 in FIBA and Olympics for gold medals in Lebron is why Kobe is better than Lebron.
