Did AD just have the single best performance in the NBA modern era?

its like he went and bought $200 worth of 2k VC in real life

three pelicans fans in a realgm thread? I don't believe it.

Best performance of the modern era? It may not even be the best performance of the week thanks to Westbrook.

Lol?

It was a better performance than Westbrook. Easily.

Westbrook got 51, 13 and 10 today what are you talking about?

Keep looking. I'll give you a hint: 44 shots.

AD looks really good, this coming from a usual skeptic. Very fluid, very good with the ball. True tripple threat now. Too bad he has to live with chucking over dribbling guards.

Hes the best big in the league already when hes healthy and hes only 23. I really dont see a weakness in his game. He rebounds, already one of the best rim protectors in the game, can guard basically 1-5, gets out in passing lanes, can score with ease, doesnt have a massive ego. If im starting a franchise Im taking him #1 without hesitation.

He has one weakness which he can never get better at and that is his lower body strength, he will never be the tough enforcer on the back. He is still one of the most complete player ever to play this game at age 23, CRAZY!!!

I agree but in this era of basketball I don't think it's that big of a weakness anymore. You don't see to many guys that dominate down low like that anymore. It's all about space in this era which his body is perfect for. He would get exposed if he played back in the 90s and stuff down low

Well in the next 5 years there will be plenty bigs that would dominate down low though. But that wont be much of a problem because teams have figured out how to crowd the post so they will swarm the post big and force the big to move the ball.

What happened against the Spurs?

[bwgood77]

It has to be up there. Would be nice if he had more of those.

I don't want him scoring to be honest. I don't care about numbers. If he wants the team to be great, he needs to get to Duncan/KG level defensively. Plenty of guys who can score in this league. Give me some defense.

Yes, that's obviously important. If he could get to KG level that would be great.
