The Los Angeles Lakers are back to their winning best. The NBA is back to normal. The Lakers have been 8-2 in their last 10 and there is a glimmer of hope.
After being a defense-first team for the first 2 months, LA has pivoted to producing some great offense. The last few games have been a joy to watch and tonight felt like the culmination of all of that. AD was at the center of it all.
Magic Johnson thinks Anthony Davis should be the MVP frontrunner
And Magic Johnson, a Laker legend thinks AD should be the front-runner for MVP? While AD’s performance has been scintillating, he should be in the conversation, not leading it.
Coach Ham has been ecstatic to talk about Davis every time he gets the chance. And he has been relishing the dominant play from Davis.
Laker Nation should rejoice this eruption from AD
You don’t put up 55 points every day, even if you are Anthony Davis. And this performance should be the benchmark of what to expect from this stacked Lakers side. They are finally starting to show their caliber.
AD also joined Kobe Bryant’s company with tonight’s game.
The Lakers are now 10-12 after starting the season horrendously. There is a lot you can expect going forward and we for one hope that this wasn’t a one-off performance.
