AD reminding people who he is, too many people had guys like Towns already ahead of him (nothing against Towns)

really hope he doesn't get hurt again

I think people only ever put KAT over AD because of what you mentioned.. he needs to prove he can stay healthy.

Even if he averages 32/13/3/3 it will be basically for nought if he only plays 50-60 Games and the Pels miss the Playoffs again..
He needs a fully healthy season(or at least play at least 70+ Games) then people will hop on the AD train again.

I think AD must be paired with Giannis(dunno where, i don't care).
I mean...hell. What could these two kids do together?
Playmaking, scoring, passing, dunking, rebounding, stealing, blocking.
Crazy length, athleticism, potential.
Just scary

Davis needs somebody otherwise he's out the door after his contract is up.

Hopefully the bucks have that "somebody" in Jabari, otherwise i can see giannis out of the door as well in 4 yrs...

anthony davis and russell westbrook need one another. it looks like their teams are gonna be one man team this season. they will put incredible stats on a single night but the teams will be competing for playoff spots, not any further.

Reminds me of the days when superstars had little to no help on their teams for a large portion of their careers - AI, T-Mac, Vince, KG. Putting up phenomenal performances for mediocre/average teams.

Durant gets the tackiest calls. Simple sweep through, act like he got bumped, whistle.

It's awful and has always dampened my ability to enjoy KD. IMO it is a huge part of his success to date, though he is still an amazing player without it.

Kevin Durant has averaged a much higher free throw rate than Michael Jordan ever did in one year (IIRC, about 10% more), to say nothing of guys who's entire game is predicated on getting to the rim and taking contact. I didn't check but I think the only guy near him has been Harden.

so do people still think KAT > AD.... hope not.

AD is in his 4th season and has a history of not being able to stay healthy. So yes. Right now KAT >AD all things considered.
