casual 6'11 big man hedging a PnR two feet past the 3pt line then getting to the corner quick enough to challenge and block the three

I knew this thread was a bad idea

AD just started his third year.....

no other big in the league is capable of making this play

AD beasts at both ends of the floor

I think the players that are top 5 are significantly far and way from the players that are in the 6-10 range. I consider a top 5 players a guy who can instantly turn a franchise around atm like a Lebron KD Howard or maybe CP

Who is your top 5??

you have to look at both sides of the ball
Love plays zero D

Davis is the best PF while Griffin, Love and Aldridge are in the next teir

Davis puts up numbers and plays D unlike Kevin love. #WPOY2014

AD is black excellence

Because AD is not a stat padder. Love at no point in time was as dominant as Davis. His defense alone can win you a game.

Yall coli "experts" are slow as fukk

Came in to say almost the same thing, I don't fully agree with Love being a stat padder, he definitely had unlimited opportunities for a bad team, but he's a legitimate offensive threat and as far as I've seen he's always played within the natural flow of the game (he's also shown great progression offensively since he came in the league), and he's obviously a dominant rebounder and relatively speaking a very good passer. But like you said, Davis, pretty much from the time he came into the league, can take over a game defensively which Love can't do. Davis is just on a different level as an all-around player. Not saying that he's even better than Love as of now, he's just a more complete, prototypical big man, while also being able to do things very few players have ever been able to do. Ultimately the thing that separates the two in regards to MVP contention and overall respect and recognition, in my opinion, is that Davis can be the centerpiece for a contender, or at least he has the potential to be, while Love is a clear cut #2/3 option if you really want to compete for chips.

AD makes highlights

nikkas acting like love wouldn't be getting shine everynight if instead of 3's he was doing alley oop dunks like davis

 

[Steezy]

nikka forgot defense even existed

I know AD is super young and that means something but we was ranked as the 3rd best player in the NBA and his team doesn't win

You realize we're 4 games into the season and we've lost to Memphis and Dallas; franchises that will be competing in the West for a spot in the Finals?

Stop trollin'.

the thing about davis, is that once he reaches his full potential, teams he leads will definitely make the playoffs. hell the pelicans might make it this season. kevin love reached his potential, and hasn't come close to sniffing the playoffs.

Were going nowhere wit Eric Gordon makin the max and averqging 4 pts a game and playin no defense.
