Anthony Davis (Perspectives) is a future hall of famer and his resume speaks volumes.

Despite all his success, some felt he should have done even more on the court. Injuries have taken a bit of a toll but he is not deserving off the discredit NBA Twitter and Tik Tok throws his way at times.

Last season, he played in a career-high 76 games while averaging 24.7 points and a career-high 12.6 rebounds and is starting this 2024-2025 season off strong. Davis is averaging a career-best 31.1 points and 11.2 rebounds through 12 games. Currently, his Los Angeles Lakers are 9-4 and are a 4-seed in the Western Conference.

When he plays well, the Lakers are going to see success.

So far, when Davis scores 30 or more points the Los Angeles Lakers are 7-1.
