If you rewind 10 months, back to October 2020, Anthony Davis was being discussed as one of the two or three best players in the world. It was easy to see why: The Lakers had just won the championship and, while LeBron James was the Finals MVP, it was Davis who consistently proved the ultimate matchup buster that every team in their way could not account for. Too big for small-ball, too skilled and athletic for the more paint-bound behemoths, Davis ran roughshod over whatever obstacle opponents threw at him on both ends of the floor with insane shot making and unmatched defensive versatility.
In case you forgot, Anthony Davis is still that dude
