Wasn’t AD having problems with injuries before he went to LA? He needs to get himself in top shape and be 19-20 AD again. LeBron can’t keep doing what he’s doing when he’s about to reach 40.
My guess, the only reason AD can stay healthy is the bubble which reduce the amount of games played for player
it's not about his conditioning, it never has been, it's the way he plays and the level he plays at at and the motor he plays with, it can put him in some positions to get injured, but their usually just small ones like in NOLA and first year in LA
@@Rei-bg3rf except even in the regular season in 2020 he actually played most games and pretty healthy while dominating in the process. All star, 1st team all nba and 2nd in DPOY (should've won it). It's not fair to assume that he would get injured if jot for the bubble when everyone was in the same situation. So yeah, that's definitely not the only reason.
Go rewatch AD in the regular season b4 the bubble and u can tell how great and different he was back then.
I'm not a fan of his but let's not act or make it seem that all of his success that year came from the "bubble".
Exactly Bro he’s always been injury prone and he has no Killer in him like Greek or Embiid there’s no ima take over and win he’s jus there
2019-2020 AD only reason he was very healthy was bc of the COVID break which being healthy won him a championship
I remember before Giannis mvp season I was out there defending AD as the best PF when both players were somewhat even. Such a shame now cuz now Giannis is imo best in the league while AD feels like he didn’t develop since
Didn’t develop? Hell I’d argue he’s gotten worse haha. I hate to say it cuz what you said is my exact thoughts and he still has potential.. but damn
Giannis actually has heart. AD doesn't.
@@_will795 I somewhat agree and was tempted to say that but I thought there would be a few people saying his injuries as a reason for his regression
Yep, same here.
@@Luvluvangel I mean could be. But he shot 18% from 3 last year.. and was the one of the worst ppl in the league from midrange as well. I hope he gets it together. I wanna see that dude ball out on the regular again
that was a great point about AD essentially having a 7 month off-season when he forced his way out of NO by not playing. almost never ever does a superstar player get that kind of rest and i think that's definitely what allowed AD to be healthy throughout most of the 2020 season
Umm the pelicans not AD decided to sit him out, my bad the Nba told the pelicans to stop sitting a healthy AD with no cause which made the pelicans play him less minutes and his stats going down
Thought he was gonna take over someday and be the face of the league. He was meant to be in the conversation for the best player during his prime years. But that seems further away now as it has ever been. Dude’s slowly becoming like TMac. And the thing is being injury prone takes a toll on your body physically and mentally. Still a beast when on the floor, but that’s if he’s on the floor.
I feel like if this injuries still take a toll of him he going retire early and I like AD too i feel bad for him i have on my phone him playing insane in the bubble too he need go back to that.
Probably doesn't help that his ring was from the weirdest year. And everyone only cared about LeBron getting another ring anyway lol.
AD isn't built like that. No heart. No drive. No personal responsibility.
T-Mac was never as injury prone as Davis. At least in his younger and prime days.
ংগপুংুপ
nah tmac was injury prone but his mentality was always elite can‘t say the same about ad
Wow this is on point!! I always thought that lebron at 37 should be at the backseat averaging like 19-22 points and more assist since davis should have transitioned into the main guy in his prime. Great Video👍👍
LeBron has to handle the ball. AD isn't a ball handler like that. Which means he needs to get fed by someone like a LeBron or a playmaking PG.
@@austinneveau9387 AD is more than capable of creating his own shot
@@austinneveau9387 i mean yeah but what i was saying is the main scorer should be AD since he is in his prime (if he is not always injured). Lebron should transition to a playmaker more like Magic since he is now 37 years old and should not be the 1st option on offense anymore.
That’s part of the reason y they were so good in 2020. The scoring ran thru AD as he led the team in points, rebounds and was the teams best defender and Lebron was the 25 pt 10 ast guy and they ended up winning a title but they can’t go back to that if AD ain’t healthy
@@JoeBro915 thats not his role tho
Swishout gotta be the most underrated basketball channel on youtube
Fr, dude always spittin facts, opinions, and views that other NBA CZcams content creators just don't have. He has great insight and understands NBA narratives well.
Nope that is yung mustered
underrated, probably not, that subscriber count is already pretty high, but is still a very good channel.
100% underrated, IMO only Jxmyhighroller produces better NBA videos.
I remember AD doing a post game interview with TNT and Chuck straight up asked him why can't you dominate like this every game? He said honestly I think too much instead of letting the game come to him. After watching him play, it's clearly that. Amazing talent, just doubts himself at times
As a huge AD fan, I agree with this. You can just see his hesitation out on the court a lot of the times. And it sucks because with every big injury, it just chips away at his confidence even more.
Nah, that answer is a cop out. He isn't as good as everyone thinks and doesn't work on his craft. The first time I really watched him play it was painfully obvious double teams really messed him up. Like bro, how are you 6'11" and you can't get easy shots for your team off the double?! He'd turn it over and was completely off balance when pressured like that. He didn't know where the open man was from instinct. If anything, he thinks too little.
@@diatribeeverything nobody in the nba does not work on there game nobody in game and practicing is completely different
@@CamWick Bro I get why you’d think that’s the case, but he’s telling the truth. AD hardly ever even picks up a damn basketball during the off-season. It’s pure insanity, especially when you consider his ridiculous talent and salary, not to mention the fact that playing basketball is obviously his literal career. Smh I’ve always been a fan of his, but it’s seriously frustrating to root for him sometimes.
@@TriStar44 I am with you TriStar, emotions and time spent will always cause divides like this. For me its the salary because you get paid for what skills/potential you bring or posses, and next year he will make more than you and I combined over our lifetimes and for what exactly? I do not see a man taking seven months off due to franchise issues, like how do you not feel that inside of you. Where is the pride, where is the honor, I/we should expect to see him literally dying on the court based on his salary alone. Listen, money is always good but you know whats better? The fucking pride and accomplishments and feeling that you've cemented yourself as a great, ask anyone who is wealthy and not famous.
Anthony Davis is the only HS player that I followed and still managed to make it into my Top 5 favorite players. But man, I think that the growth spurt in HS is the main source.
I never took the growth spurt seriously but at this point it’s always something with his lower body it’s a shame.
I always said that, he grew fast in a short period of time
that spurt just might explain AD's injuries somewhat, it happened to Kevon Looney with the Warriors, he was a true wing who had handle, grew 6 or 7 inches one year and he became injury prone. The thing is, many big men have that spurt, AD's injuries just seem more frequent ..
Can u pls clarify why u think the growth spurt was the main source? Im not denying it, i just dont understand the correlation. A growth spurt can make you injury prone? I dont understand.
@@cheesecubez I noticed that as well. I think its fair to mention that hes a near 7 footer, wearing lowtop kobes with no ankle support like hes a guard… I think that plays a factor as well. Them lowtop kobes are clean but no ankle supp, and their not meant for a big like AD.
AD has good seasons in intervals. 2015 was great, ‘16, ‘17 were duds. 2018 was great, ‘19 was a dud. 2020 was great and we all were there these last two season. I think he’s due for a good season and with all the time off he’s had I think he’ll be healthy. You can expect 26 & 10 from him
I agree he will play 26 games then get an injury that keeps him from playing the rest of the season except the last 10
He has to have bounce back season, he’s been ran thru the mud (deservingly so). 26/10 isn’t enough when almost 40 year old Bron just came off of a 30pt season. AD needs to be dropping 28/14 at the LEAST !
How was 17 a dud lmao
@@aidanargueta6042 in terms of team success. AD was phenomenal, 28&12 with over 2 blocks AND he was healthy (75 games) but the pels won 34 games so that’s why i said that
I miss 2019-20 davis.
AD's underperformance stems his constant injuries. Anytime, he comeback from his injuries Ad would be a bit cautious due to fear of injuries. AD should visit a sport therapist
I noticed that too, he always cautious asf them first 10 games which is way too many to be trying to be safe. He needs to just play ! He’ll have 2-3 good games then have like 6 terrible ones. He’s not consistent.
Finally people are finally acknowledging that Westbrook isn't the main reason why the Lakers are bad. I was getting tired of people shifting all the blame on him
Facts
He’s been out of shape since 2019.. I know he’s fought injuries but there are ways to stay in shape while injured
wtf do you think an out of shape pro athletes look like.
@@jonathansykes4986 too heavy as example, since he bulked up things went downhill
@@jonathansykes4986 he’s probably gained 40 pounds in the last 3 or 4 years… He was unstoppable when he was lean.. If you can’t tell that he’s out of shape you never watched him play 5 years ago
@@thuggwaffle8825 He was getting injured before the weight gain.
@@jonathansykes4986 I’m aware of that but he also would recover quicker without extra weight
I've been saying this all season, him and Giannis took two completely different routes after they won a championship. Davis won a championship and it's like he got lazy, and he lost his drive. Giannis won a championship and he was hungry for another one and played like it all season and the playoffs and I hate saying this about Davis but it's true 💯🎯🤦🏾♂️
I'm a Lakers fan and I think you made some pretty good points in this video. I do think AD's been a pretty big problem, not just Russ. Another point I think u could've made is how we knew Russ could've and was probably going to be bad for the Lakers before he even played for them. What we didn't know is that we wouldn't be able to count on AD as much as we would like to. So in other words, Russ was kinda predictable and AD wasn't really (even though he's pretty much always been an injury-prone player)
that training footage of AD at the end was lightweight depressing. Like you’re happy to see him shooting the ball, and he could be fatigued from the workout, but that was the most lethargic, going thru the motions, slow release two dribble pull up I’ve seen in awhile from an NBA player. You practice at game speed or faster to lock in technique during the games when things are instinctual. What defender is going to fall for that half hearted jab step rip thru or not recover in time to block that shot? GO HARDER!!!
BABE WAKE UP SWISH POSTED
been watching you for a minute bro n production has improved quite a bit, keep it up man!
I feel like the biggest problem was in the championship run there were multiple players who could step up besides AD like Dwight and Mcgee. But having to play pf and center with no real backup adds to ADs stress to needing to play harder to keep the lakers afloat
Yeah unless they get some decent bigs they are done for
Swish my guy, as I continue to try to post I have to say thank you. I just started posting videos, and you really inspired my content style, continue to be great bro.
I checked out your channel and your content is good for just starting. Keep at it and maybe you’ll be like swish
I threw you a sub my guy hope the channel grows and does well
@@DeShawnMcDonald I really do appreciate that man. Have an awesome day!
50 games: 22 pts and 8reb another disappointed season for AD, I remember when people used to compare AD vs Giannis. Now it’s not even close
That's why I'm a subscriber, coming with facts I never knew existed! Legendary status bro!
Why does only Davis get this hate tho? I never hear anyone disrespect Kawhi for that. People just assume he’ll be healthy even though he hasn’t been healthy fully since 2017. And yet, when he does get injured, he gets absolutely no hate.
cus kawhi proved he can be the main guy when he’s healthy (2019 raptors case)
@@saxert he didn’t play back to back that entire season
@@josueguillen4111 yes but he returned and won a fkn championship that shuts all the noises dont they?
Love this video
I do consider AD is injury prone, but when he is not injured he's a beast! 25 points/11 rebounds/3 blocks(hopefully)
Facts I hope he can have a healthy season

@@DeShawnMcDonald I really wish we could post photos in YT comments because I have the perfect response meme for that excuse of a statement
As a long time lakers fan. AD has completely disappointed me cause we traded our entire young core for him. He was suppose to be the player LBJ would pass the torch to. It looked that way in 2020, but then he started going south which forced us to trade for Westbrook for more "star power". I GUARANTEE if he continued his success from 2020, we wouldn't have traded for Russ in the first place.
What a strange way to talk about someone who's injured? The NBA is notorious for forcing guys back before they're healthy, which destroys their careers. See D Rose, Isaiah Thomas, Derron Williams, et al. The only guy to buck the trend was Kawhi- by refusing to play. Klay too, on account of the Warriors being abnormally patient with him and having Andrew Wiggins.
@@thatbluepowder He's suppose to be the Lakers version of Giannis. How is Giannis able to stay healthy and play at least 65+ games each and every year? AD playing at least 50 games is a miracle at this point.
@@adriandantedanosos4146 Wow. What an old post.
Needless, I should remind you that Giannis has been injured too and the ideal, the hope, is for everyone to play all 82 games. However, are 82 game seasons necessary? 65 games a season would be fine too.
Injuries happen and people heal. Kobe healed, Derrick Rose healed and Isaiah Thomas healed too. Paul George healed. Lonzo Ball can and eventually will heal as well. It's just a matter of time. If the issue is forced, a player could reinjure themselves or cut their career short.
Hell, I believe if given enough time, even Ben Simmons can recover from his mental funk too.
This is crazy you dropped this video today, just yesterday I was watching ad highlights from his chip year and I was like damn wtf happened to ad
As a lakers fan I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been preaching this for 2 years now.
SWISHOUT back at it again with ANOTHER CLASSIC‼️ Davis career give me Shaw career when he left the lakers
Man preaching
Been saying AD was soft ever since he came to Hollywood and everyone called me a hater lol
Tired of seeing this giant people crying to the refs every single play.
Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis! HILARIOUS 😂 Charles Barkley is both truthful and entertaining. Most entertaining analysts and Shannon Sharpe is the runner up.
I remember after the chip people were saying that AD was better then Giannis and now 2 years later people would laugh you out of the room if you said that
Fr and it's honestly sad 🤦🏾♂️😭
AD does not have that giannis hunger after he won his ring anymore it’s a shame
That's what I've been saying it's like Davis got lazy, and lost his drive while Giannis was just hungry for another ring
He don’t care anymore because he got a chip. Injuries are playing a part in his demise true BUT it’s mostly hunger. AD is completely satisfied with his “Bubble Ring” .
still a ring bro
@@acesolo I respect it but that’s exactly how Anthony davis is thinking
@@acesolo fluke ring
@@manz7860 Fluke even though they were the clear #1 team in the west with one of the best defenses in the league before going into the bubble -- and they went in right after winning big statement games against the clippers and bucks. Fluke even though they gentlemen swept every team besides the Heat in the finals. But yeah, it was definitely a fluke bro. Could've been anyone's ring lol
@@yrdpk3656 and what happened the two seasons after?
Not even making the playoffs. That's why it feels like a fluke to me.
it blows my mind that people blame the lakers "struggles" (and struggle is in quotes because they won aring recently) on lebron.
Those people are the “Lebron haters”. Lebron is the reason the Lakers aren’t a lottery team
He wanted them to get Davis and Russ. Idiot. They got what he wanted. Hows it working.
@@saz19s8 they would have drafted in the lottery. Just this pass draft. Oh wait they want have a number one. For a million years.
I think he’ll be better next season. 20-21 he had that super short offseason, then in 21-22 he bulked up way too much to compensate for the lack of centers the team had and he just couldn’t adjust to the weight change. He slimmed down when he suffered his injury against the Wolves and dominated against the Sixers. Maybe once training camp starts he’ll have had an off season where he’s slimmed down and more agile like in 19-20.
He got what he wanted, a ship. Now hes like alotta these NBA guys. Seemingly just doesnt want it bad enough.
Winning the bubble and then missing the playoffs twice. Just feels flukey
I have a feeling ad gonna be dominant this season
Unfortunately I don’t think so and I love Anthony Davis unless he has that mindset from 2018 and 2020
@@anthonyrodriguez2991 ad been putting in alot of work this offseason
It is hard to predict, as a laker fan I was upset that they traded our young talents for AD due to his health condition and then we won with him and the following seasons the expectations were really high then they really really disappointed us
Yea. The sudden increase in missing shots and frequent injury made me wonder what happen to AD all the time during last season.
Russ got all the attention cause he was the new major acquisition with a lot to prove, and ultimately underperformed. But in my opinion, the bigger culprit was the inconsistency of AD. Can’t trust the guy to not get hurt, can’t trust the guy to take over the game, can’t even trust the guy to play average when healthy. Man is just not built to play all of a deep playoff run, let alone a full season. If you are given all the rest and opportunity to condition your body, and you still get hurt, I don’t know what to say. AD got 4 extra months of rest and still got hurt in the Finals. Man is Glass Bones for a reason.
i’m glad someone agreed with me
Man you right! but AD preparing for a solid 25/10/5 stat line all year
tbh i think he'll bounce back. i give him 25ppg 9rbd and 3ast on 51/30/72 splits, in 66 games with elite defense

I still can’t get with everyone trying to put an asterisk on the bubble… Everyone was under the same conditions and the bubble was more difficult than a normal season especially mentally but I guess …
Blah blah blah
AD been the problem the whole time...like if AD would've been healthy and balling last season the Lakers would've for sure been in the playoffs put the play in even with that roster! With that said 24-10-4 with 2.5 blocks in 64 games played for this season
How is it his fault he got hurt
@@jalenfrom4196 some people are more injury prone that others but there are precautions and a certain work ethic one can utilize to overcome consistent injuries....just look at Steph Curry. He changed his regime and became an all time legend. Imagine if he would've stay injury prone though? Too many injuries before your prime shows signs of weakness

AD is so insanely dominant on 2 pointers that if he can get any resemblance of a shot again he SHOULD get 25 and 10 in his sleep. Sadly his injuries and lack of motor which caused him to take exactly ZERO shots this summer makes this feel like a reach stat wise
He hasn't taken 0 shots this summer. Everyone overreacts about that clip of him saying he hasn't shot since April. It's not at all abnormal for most NBA players to take time off right after the regular season ends, and that's what he did. He's been showing up in a lot of photos/videos of him training over the last few months despite the misconception.
I remember lying awake one night after the Lakers had a disappointing loss in the 2022 season in which Anthony Davis only played for a few minutes before getting taken off the court; I said to myself, "Damn, if the Lakers played 5 games in one week, I can't ask Anthony Davis to play in more than one." I still think Russell Westbrook's delusions of self and blaming others for his definiens is the definitive problem, but I definitely get what you're saying about Anthony Davis.
Yeah. It’s a shame. Maybe he doesn’t have the genetics LeBron has to stay healthy and not injured, or maybe he doesn’t look after himself like LeBron. I think most of his issues are basically down to stay healthy and confident not to get injured. He certainly has/had bags of talent
Shoutout Bubble Swishout fr
Espn ranked him as the 2nd best player in the league after the championship he hasn’t been the same
I feel wit AD he’s causing himself these nagging injuries cuz he sucks at taking care of his body in the off-season like once he got the chip I seen he doesn’t have that hunger anymore
He’s probably just genetically prone to getting injured
AD has been dealing with injuries his entire career. Idk if it's conditioning or how he does his offseason routine but I feel he hasn't been healthy to be that superstar at an elite level. The 2019-20 season was the only time he was healthy because they had four months off due to Covid and the season was in the bubble where they won that chip. Since then, he hasn't been the same with two back-to-back seasons with so many injuries and I feel he is so fragile that a tiny move can cause many problems. He is always dealing with small injuries that ended up taking a while to heal up. Sure, he can dominate the game at a certain level but other times he is hardly reliable. He's only 29 and whatever offseason training he does, it doesn't reflect on when he plays. I remember those who say he was better than Giannis but that's not the case. I feel that he can be that superstar but it's so frustrating that he can't stay healthy for major of the season.
It’s a combination of injuries and people putting him on a pedestal he never deserved or earned in the first place. The idea of AD was always better than actual AD.
Fr g
Completely agree they keep talking like his game is something we've never seen when we had kg for over 20 years.Plus they talk like he been a top 5 player when in the mid n late 10's he was never better then alot of guys cuz he never did anything in New Orleans.He was never that dude in his career

In the multiverse there is a reality where Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis play 70+ games each season. It's an exciting reality.
Anthony Davis will play 63 games and average 24.1 PPG, 10.3 RPG, 1.9 APG, 0.7 SPG, and 2.4 BPG.
AD for me will get lik 23 to 22 ppg . 8 to 9 RPG and around 3 to 4 AST per game ... i hope he getss his defence back so i will guess that he will average like 1.5stl and 2blk a game if everything comes his way.
I could see it👌👏🤝💯
Anthony Davis will average 24.4 ppg, 11 boards on 28% from three and 52% from the field, he will play 47 games
Good statline he will play 60 games next season though
No matter what I still give AD credit for winning a championship before declining. The only team to win back to back championships in recent history have been 2018 Warriors and before that the 2013 Heat. Some players just don’t come back the same after winning a championship.
This wouldn’t even be a conversation if AD wasn’t playing with lebron on the lakers. AD carried the pelicans his whole career. Injuries happen when you’re that big and you carry the load defensively and offensively at 6”11
Pretty much
Injuries unfortunately, hes turning into Blake Griffin 😭😭 at least he got a ring tho

I'm glad people are finally realizing where the problems were. Many criticized the Pelicans. They loved him a bit too much and didn't make a big deal over his laziness or fake injuries. Playing for the Lakers, all his imperfections and fragility shine in the bright lights. Happy for the Lakers, you Won, his "that's all folks" shirt will be worn for LakersNation.

It is bittersweet watching Lebron since the 2020 bubble, just like Cleveland the first time and after Kyrie left--you're watching a guy put up video game numbers, beating everyone but we all kinda know he can't get a ring this way. The trade to get AD is also looking worse these days, I think the Lakers still do it and would do it again. But they might end up giving the pels a few top 10 picks plus BI and Lonzo.

Did you get a new mic bro?
We’re mad at him bc his body gives up on him? That’s messed up man obviously a great player when he can play
So long as AD thinks he has nothing to prove, he just won't get any better. Maybe we all just expect too much from him and he's happy being a one and done kind of guy.
26,9,3,1, and 2,2 blocks and he worked whole summer with the Lethal Shooter so i hope his efficency goes up
GOOD. We expect dominance from him
hope things look better for him this season. maybe 59 games played averaging 25pts 11reb 4ast
Man is made of glass.
IDK he's a fricking glass cannon. I always observed he always wear low-cut shoes like Kobe's. Where he can at least wear a high cut and get some ankle support to somehow negate the instances. I always see him roll his jelly ankles.
He's starting to get to the point where his injuries have taken portions of his game away this next season is The prove it year because if he gets injured again or if his jump shot still doesn't look the same you can just talk aside the he can still be a great player ideology that some people have.
