For years, the media assumed New Orleans was holding Anthony Davis back. Turns out it's Anthony Davis holding Anthony Davis back.
If he can hold his own back tho he shouldn't be this injured lol
He showed what he could do before covid happened. But got the ring and decided to pack it in. Shameful.
Every arguement in defense about AD, Always start with” When Healthy” lol.
Hear that one a lot with the Nets too the last couple seasons
Right? 🤣
If it's chronic you can't really use the "when healthy" argument. If it's freak injuries sure. If a player never was healthy to begin with like AD or Kyrie you can't use that as an excuse.
He honestly ain’t really been what he should be since the bubble.
10:30
Unpopular Opinion:
I think Stephen A would even take an american middle schooler over any foreign player.
That’s a high possibility
Unpopular? Think you meant popular, not sure.
He’d take me over Jokic 😂
It's not an unpopular opinion it's the truth, and so would 85% of the NBA.
They need to pay for AD’s hospital bills the way they’re riding his jock strap🤣🤣🤦🏿♂️
😂
Dude Jokic aint even like a mean guy he is super likeable and a great player why dont people appreciate him man. I havent heard any media guy put him in their top 5 yet he is a two time mvp!!!
While the media narratives are forgetting him, he's silently collecting his MVP titles and he has room to accomplish more in the league.
Can he play some defense ?
Like how can you get a pass for being bad at defense at the 1 spot it matter the most ? His rim protection is non existent and he always gets tore up by teams that assault the rim.
You know why lol. Usual xeno shit
He’s white
Stephen A, if LeBron and AD are better than Giannis, then tell me who would win, a team with LeBron and AD, or a team with 2 Greek Freaks? I mean, a team with 1 Greek Freak beats LeBron and AD already so 2 Freaks would be unstoppable.
True two Giannis or Jokic is just tough
Lol any team with two dominant players would be hard to be
Two lebrons
Two shaqs
Two Hakeem Olajuwon
Two Gary Payton’s
Two Giannis
Two Jordan’s
Facts bro, the Lakers would have gone 80-2 in the regular season and 16-0 in the playoffs if they kept Caruso to carry them, that's where it really went wrong
And Rondo was the leader at that time. Now they’re both gone and look at where the Lakers are
We had Zo, Ingram, Josh Hart, Kyle Kuzma, Caruso, D Howard, McGee. Turned out to be pretty good players on their own or were good pieces. We coulda had them all in some form perhaps alongside Bron and AD 🤦🏽♂️
@@EnTiempo824 all them young dudes was not becoming the players they are today had they stayed in LA 🤷🏾♂️ Lakers don’t develop they players
Hot Take: Anthony Davis doesn’t impact winning he never did
I’m 2020 he did but every since then he’s been either hurt or dissapointing
To say he never did is an L
As a Heat fan, I remember this guy cooking us and shooting close to 40% from 3 against us.
Since then his jumper has gone down the toilet (sub 25% from 3 for 2 seasons now) and he plays with little to no hunger. He's checked out the second he got that ring.
Bro it's crazy that AD's career would've been looked at so differently had there not been a 4 month hiatus & a bubble.
Also you're a Heat & Liverpool fan? You must be a Bronsexual also. Greetings! We accept your kind here.
No one is saying AD is trash. But I’m shocked by the positive PR dude has!!
AD is trash
That short clip of Perkins dribbling aimlessly cracked me up real good
They hyping A.D. up just to get a rolled ankle game 1 and be gone till after all star break.
AD is kinda like Kyrie where the longer he stays being an active NBA player the more damaging his legacy becomes
Injury Davis will be top 5 in Injuries for 2023 for sure.
Damn dude, lmao
Potential hot take
AD has reached his ceiling already
Once he got that ring in the Disney invitational he checked out. Dude peaked at 24 years old lmao
Your videos are like an essay where you have a ton of quotes for evidence, but a little bit of commentary. And they are still very entertaining.
I don’t know which is worse: Stephen A’s bias for Anthony Davis or Stephen A’s bias against Giannis. Even his compliments of Giannis are backhanded. There’s always a qualifier that Giannis gets the awards but he isn’t really deserving of them or some other crap.
blessed to see that shitshow live
Lucky! But also that sucks. Honestly you guys deserve better
That video with Kendrick Perkins dribbling made my day 😂
Great quality video! This channel gonna blow up 🔥
The media has been riding this guy's meat for years. Back when he was in NO, they made it sound like he was gonna take over the league one day. Smh, that's why I don't listen to these talking heads.
Stephen A choosing the MIA AD over Jokic, Luka, and Giannis who are 1st team all NBA past two years. Sounds xenophobic or bigoted for basketball analysis.
Incredible how they leave Jokic out of almost all the top player discussions when he is clearly the best or second best player in the world
Bruh i really fuck with your videos keep the good work going. Love from austria
Love your content. Great subject matter
Much appreciated Ethan!
I'm convinced they'll hand out a "Best Bench Support" award just for AD.
It's mind boggling how AD was on the top 75 list.
I would say Charles’ criticism of Anthony Davis is pretty relatable you want a player to be in his prime but unfortunately because Anthony Davis is very injury prone so he struggles a lot
but when he’s fully healthy he’s a monster
I love Chuck even tho he can go too far at times. He says whatever he thinks, for good or bad. But with regards with AD, what is "fully healthy"? Because he did play a couple of games last season, and he wasn't the same monster he was in the bubble. His shooting went down & since the team had to rely on him even more defensively, he took a hit in that department also. I'd say he was healthy for most of the games he played. Maybe we should expect that this is who AD is now & that we're past the days of him dominating like he did the bubble
@@tooforwon241 possibly, why not
What’s fully healthy? He’s been trash for 2 years lmao
every comment here has the "when he's fully healthy" line LMAO
Yeah he sounded like more of a frustrated fan than anything. I would have a similar criticism if I were a AD fan rn
Lebron finally shaved his head. This changes everything.
I don't want to fall for a LeBron dad prank so I'm avoiding it until it's confirmed to be real
Another great video you make some of the best NBA content on the platform and hope your channel continues to keep growing. Appreciate all the effort you put in and big thanks
Also that K Perkins clip at the end always makes me laugh. He posted that to prob when had handles but just went through the same leg 4 times in a row something a 5th grader could do
Thank you! And yes! That Perk dribbling clip from 2020 still never gets old
Comes in clutch again:))
Bro working overtime pumping out these vids, they stay 🔥🔥🔥
Having this recommended after the latest Nuggets vs Lakers is just too good of a timing lmao 😂😂😂
klay, steph and dray played a total of 11 minutes the entire season lmao
AD is an American, that is the only reason why the media have players like AD and Ja Morant above players like Jokic and Giannis even though Jokic and Giannis are both clearly a lot better then both AD and Ja Morant
Giannis and Jokic have won the last 4 MVPs between them so at least some of the media members seem to like them just fine
It’s LA. Ego central. The media props them up as something amazing. Tonight the Lakers won & AD got 23 points (averaging 24) & the media and fans said he dominated. 😂 what a 🤡
“Giannis is Giannis I get that” -Steven A Smith
when davis said "I havent touched a basketball in months" thats when i knew it was over lmfao
im so glad you put this in the vid LMFAO
That comment worries me to this day. Idk what version of AD we're getting & am expecting much of the same from last season
The world and AD himself needed this video
Where’s the Kawhi and Paul George video he’s played more games than both combined
managed to see my man Dennis Smith Jr pick bron's pocket during that portland game.
Thats gotta be embarrassing.
Dude should've lost all credibility & thus his job when he said Anthony Davis is better then both Luca & Jokic. I mean clearly he is smoking crack before going on the air. And not just a lil puff n hold.
Whatever agent is paying these pundits to say AD is top 5... Russ needs that agent
JJ Reddick’s face at 7:27 tho!
“I love you bro, but… that’s a no from me…”
I NEEEED YOUR VIDEO ON IME UDOKA DROPPING THE BALL WITH NIA LONG.. (mainly for your thirst comments) maybe a list of all the athletes to drop the ball with the hottest stars
Being in conversation for mvp gets you respect then being mvp in Nba media
This is also why I don’t completely understand the videos that you and other have made on Westbrook. I think its obvious he played poorly last year and didn’t try to adjust his play style like he should have and had plenty of lowlights. However, I think that playing all 82 games says something and that if you’re looking for the biggest culprit for why the Lakers missed the playoffs and had the most disappointing season in franchise history, you’re getting to see who should be taking the largest portion of blame in this video.
He was also the reason they lost to the Suns the year before.
Fair point! Durability is one of Westbrook's most underrated qualities. But that doesn't change the problems with Westbrook. If you agree that he played poorly and was stubbornly refusing to adjust to the team's need, then what don't you understand about the videos I made about him?
@@tooforwon241 I don’t understand why you don’t point out in your video about Russ, that the Lakers and him would have had a much better season if AD had played a majority of the year. I understand you made a video about AD today. I just think when you point out all the issues with Russ, which are valid, you should also toss in a disclaimer somewhere in video saying “well obviously these are all issues with Russ, but him and the Lakers would have had a much better season if AD had played a majority of it, and AD should take the majority of the blame for how their season turned out because he didn’t play.”
Because that’s the truth.
Russ may have played poorly.
At least he played.
@@tooforwon241 The whole problem isn't Westbrook the biggest problem is AD, an aging LeBron, and trading away their future for a bubble championship.
kendrik almost died for the content in the end.
He was doing three-a-days like AD
I would pick Pascal Siakam over Anthony Davis bottomline
"When healthy"
biglol
AD just lacks motivation.
It’s just like impossible for me to rate this dude.
Obviously the injuries are the biggest problem, but even when healthy I don’t feel like last year was as good as the 2020 title season
If this don't motivate AD IDK what will. A motivated AD is unstoppable
😂
i needed this laugh
I got you bro 🧡
TOP 5 in the league, top 3? And this is going to be lakers coach? We're cooked! First of all, it's hard to determine what he is as he's been on injured list last 3 years. AD is soft and fragile. He's bottom 10. A player with a lot of talent but can not help the team due to injuries is same as a bad player. Wake up people!
ok you comparing the lakers big 3 to the warriors big 3 wasn’t fair.
the warriors big 3 have been together for a decade so they have chemistry despite not playing with each other that much throughout last season.
the lakers big 3 have only played 21 games together. there’s a *HUGE* difference between the two.
Grind on my warlock
Yessir! I haven't proven myself & I'm hungry
@@tooforwon241 that's what I like to hear! You should check out the new stuff I will put out soon. Gunna be a content creator on this channel soon lol!
Absentee Davis back at it again
Street clothes over Luka?
JESUS take the wheel..
Over JOKIC?!
GTFO 🙄
kendrick dribbling
I'm with Chuck, spitting facts
W productivity
Other than the bubble championship run garbage, AD is just a better version of Derrick Coleman.
How is he a mvp and he's in street clothes more than hoop clothes
I guess it's a conspiracy. It's pretty clear AD is soft, fragile and unreliable. I cringe every time he goes down. He's been riding the injured list the past 3 years yet people talking about getting rid of Westbrook? Yet people talking about AD being top 5? To be honest, if Lakers don't trade him this year (although no team dumb enough to take him), his wasted spot is going to cost Lakers the playoffs!
Well if you add Anthony Davis to the trail blazers or the rockets & that would instantly make them a playoff team. Then why when you add him to Lebron they can't take the Lakers to the playoffs. These ain't Lakers these are fakers!
Healthy AD is a mythical creature.
Lil Wayne doesn’t look human
It’s about potential
At 27 with an injury filled career, that's always made me laugh. I wonder, when do we stop talking about a player's potential? Jokic is the same age also. Also thank you! You've been the longest returning viewer that I can remember seeing. You're a legend!
❤️ u too
If,If,If,If.It means💩Zion can have same argumannt like AD.
SAS have a lot of love for players from EU.Luka,Giannis,Jokič..
Perkins dribbles the ball like a 5 y/o xDDDDDDDD
Is it strange that I'm interested in LA & Bklyn only because of the "storylines" surrounding those teams?
Yes & no. I get it. It's what also brings those star players to those teams in the first place. The allure of the big city. The media & luxury of a big market. More people live in those cities. More outlets exists in those cities. More stars play in those cities. All that creates a perfect storm. It may not be about the Xs and Os, but it's always been stories that have connected with us humans more than anything else
Ain't ticky tack injuries I forgot that one... only thing ticky tack is the mans ankles. I hope they are ready to put up or shut up this year.
LeBron has a comical history with comments that didn't age well! 🤣
Remember when giannis vs ad was a thing
This was a year ago
Last season, i thought the lakers were as attractive as that car wreck you passed by the other day on the highway
I don't think I will ever tire of the Lakers being pure garbage
AD is only 30 bro he should be in his prime this year
AD has been injury-prone for a while now, so he really has to show he can stay healthy, no wonder Chuck etc. talk about him.. Look how many games he has played in these past 2 years and how fast he got injured after returning, I will eat my words if he actually plays a full season and in the playoffs.. The Lakers and The Nets are just retirement houses where couple stars of the past try to play with eachother, atm, it's honestly not gonna work I know it..
FIRST OFF SHOUT OUT TO MY BOY TFW!!!!! FAVORITE UPLOADER!!! Second AD is trash and was never top 5 and never will be
Wow favorite? That means so much man. Thank you!
Even tho I’m coming to this vid later on now that nba if abt to start my top 5 (warriors fan) in order is
Giannis
Curry
Joker
Luka
Bron/ KD
Why does "Top 7" matter so much? Just say top 10
AD is a talented player no doubt, but he doesn't have the leadership that goes with it, and unfortunately for him his stock was pumped by the medias, just like RW they'll come to reality some times
It’s so hard for Anthony Davis to get his team to winning when the other superstar he is with plays only for his personal statistics.
Stephen A Smith might be bearable if he didn’t speak in all caps
Lebron and ad only played 22 games together. Pls stop gaslighting us Lakers fans when we say this. This is the reason we missed the playoffs. If ad played 5 more games we are in the playoffs
I was with you until I read your last sentence
@@chrisavalos1873 go look at the pelicans record who made the playoffs and look at ours. They won 36 game we won 33. 🤡
13:00 he's picking POTENTIAL over a PROVEN LEAGUE MVP. Morant CAN'T SNIFF Giannis on the defensive end of the floor.
Bruh AD is a Robin SAS trippin
Why da fuq does anyone care what Lil Wayne has to say?
Do you expect Bron to throw his teammate under the bus? Or for David Ham not to big up the player he’s coaching? I don’t get it 💀
Did I say this? I just pulled the clip of Ham's comments because the next day ESPN talked about it for two more days. LeBron's comments at the end bothered me because this is the second year they deal with injury issues. By now they should know to build a better team that can play through injuries. AD has been injury prone his whole career, and with Bron also getting hurt lately, that's why they went ahead and traded their depth for Russ. So if for the third year in a row, AD & Bron get hurt again, then the Lakers have only themselves to blame for losing and not hide behind this stupid excuse of "we weren't healthy" for the third year in a row
The foreign born nba players are presently reigning it over their american counterparts..i can select two teams composed of foreign nba players and beat any team of american players..hell..america has not produced any decent center the past ten years..sure we have wiseman..the problem is i still have to see him play..sure we have anthony davis..but then he does not like to play center..so who have we got..plumlee? cousins? mcgee? it is a joke..the only decent center we have is adebayo..and i will not rank him top 7..top 10..hmm..maybe..
I can't consider Him being That Good at all. What did he do In New Orleans ?
I ain't forget that he Made trade request to move over To LA to Join LeBronBron...
Are Luka, Giannis and Jokic are in Big Markets ? Yet they Make it work. AD didn't.
Anthony Davis, deserves a Medal of Honor for all his injuries.
Im ti young,but SAS call ever Shqak.
Rooki years Derrick Rose ,like Ja is now.DRose was bether in thouse years and hope NOT but,the way Ja plays,,Idk how wll end.
Lakers did the worst cash in for a chip of all time!
i'm not gonna sit here and let yall act like AD doesn't get unnecessesary hate and slander, he's still a great player, I have no idea why you want the media to tear AD down more than they already do because he's not on your agenda
Russell Westbrook is being held to a higher standard than Anthony Davis. More is expected from a role player than I guy who's at the very least the 2nd best player on the team. That's equivalent to holding Ron Harper to a higher standard than Scottie Pippen, if the Bulls were to play a bad stretch of basketball.
Hahaha
It's only gonna get worse...
I mean it's only gonna get worse for everyone else in the league
I almost skipped past this part when watching this video. So glad I didn't cuz that was too funny not to include in the video
tim hardaway pls
