Anthony Davis opened the NBA season with the kind of game that makes you wonder about his place in the league. He was playing last year's MVP winner, James Harden, and he had to watch from the sidelines as Harden accepted that trophy in a pregame presentation. Then the game started, and Davis was everywhere. He shut down the paint and helped guard out to the perimeter. Around the rim on offense, he made the Rockets defense look helpless. When extra defenders collapsed on him, he found open shooters. He finished with 32 points, 16 rebounds, and eight assists.
