Anthony Davis’ recent performances are in rarified air. Anytime a player is mentioned in the same breath as Shaq during any stretch of games, it puts them in a certain context when it comes to on-court dominance.
But it’s a valid comparison considering what AD did over his last two outings. After putting up a 40-point game in the franchise’s biggest win in multiple seasons in Milwaukee, Davis had one of the best games of his Lakers career and possibly his NBA career as a whole by pouring in 55 points against Washington.
It was a display so impressive that even AD’s opponents marveled at it.
