Nikola Jokić.

Looks like I was wrong!

Damn you are right. Those stats are great. I think Luka trade overshadowed the fact that last year, AD under JJ at least was insane, he was one of the best players in the world. Not Luka worthy and it is still worst trade ever, but AD was probably second best bigmen after Jokic last season? I bet Lakers under last year and he was huge reason why I lost.

Yeah, hes a great player. I think the issue is the age and health of AD compared to Luka. I do think people overlook ADs value, but its crazy for them to not have auctioned him off to the highest bidder or at least talk to more than just the Lakers. Thats what has never made sense.

My first guess was going to be David Robinson, but he won two titles, so it can't be him.


Is it Anthony Davis???

Without looking at the other posts past the OP, I also got AD. My thought process:

- Had to be a big man because apg isn't highlighted and 2.2bpg is very good.
- 1 Finals win eliminates Shaq, Hakeem, Kareem, Russell, Moses, Duncan
- 26.1ppg is too high for Walton, Dirk, KG and even playoff DRob...but too low for Wilt (and he has 2 titles)
- OP never said he's retired, but it can't be Jokic because his APG would've been mentioned.

The only big men left that somewhat fit those stats was AD or Elvin Hayes. Since Hayes was before my time, I went with AD.

From just the points and rebounds my first thought was AD. Checking the TS% confirmed it. Yeah, his box numbers are crazy.

After the trade I kept asking why people were acting like AD wasn't even a part of the trade. It was weird. He was being treated like a throw-in piece lol. To me he shouldve won DPOY and is the best 2-way player in the world when he's locked in.

I just looked it up. Wilt "only" averaged 22.5ppg in the playoffs throughout his career...which makes AD look even better as of now.

Let’s not compare raw PPG from the 60s to today…

Well 22 PPG in the ‘60s is like 18 today.
