February 7, 201511 yr On pace to record the highest PER since that stat was introduced. He is having unreal season. Factoring in what he does on defense and rebounding I think you could make a pretty solid case for him. Just a fun stat after tonights game... Basketball Reference @bball_ref @AntDavis23 has now tried 12 shots to tie or take lead in final 5 minutes of 4th/OT. He's made 11 of them! Shot Finder | Basketball-Reference.com
February 7, 201511 yr If he's not it's definitely coming. How crazy would it before Durant to have never been the best player in the league? Torch may have passed straight from LeBron to the Brow. Davis is unbelievably good. Hope he gets some help around him soon. Needs another stud. Or a great system like what San Antonio put around Duncan.
February 7, 201511 yr He is the best big guy. LeBron and Durant have been so good for so long, it is hard to say that he has eclipsed them. The three he hit to beat OKC is an amazing shot. He cleans the glass, blocks everything- Davis is an amazing pro. He is in the discussion, but I think I would need to see him lead this Pelican team to more post-season success or see more prolonged individual success before I put him at 1.

The fact that he has that garbage team in the fight for the 8th spot in the West is pretty amazing to me.
February 7, 201511 yr The fact that he has that garbage team in the fight for the 8th spot in the West is pretty amazing to me. I actually don't think the roster is that bad. But they might have the worst coach in the NBA now that Vaughn is out in Orlando.

Other than that it's not good. Ryan Anderson is a nice 6th man. Dante Cunningham is getting 30 minutes a game for them.
February 7, 201511 yr The fact that he has that garbage team in the fight for the 8th spot in the West is pretty amazing to me. Not disagreeing, but Lebron took a terrible Cleveland team to the post season success, including a finals. This is the level he must get to to be number 1, IMO.
February 7, 201511 yr Is it tougher for a Big to dominate today's game than a wing just based on how much less they control the ball.
February 7, 201511 yr Not disagreeing, but Lebron took a terrible Cleveland team to the post season success, including a finals. This is the level he must get to to be number 1, IMO. To be fair Lebron was in the East. Those Cavs teams don't sniff the Finals in the West.
February 8, 201511 yr One thing that could stunt his progression is injury. He has had a bit of a history as a pro and that fall and shoulder injury versus the Bulls looked ugly. Hopefully it looked worse than it is. [video=youtube_share;-cR1tQF7Ms0]http://youtu.be/-cR1tQF7Ms0
