In terms of PFs in the league, there are only TWO that you can argue are better than AD. That would Giannis and Kevin Durant(if you consider Kevin Durant a 4 and not a 3). If you consider Kevin Durant a 3, then it's just Giannis. And AD outplayed Giannis tonight.
Last 8 Games for AD
37 PTS, 18 REB, 2 AST, 60% FG
38 PTS, 16 REB, 4 BLK, 62% FG
30 PTS, 18 REB, 3 STL, 63% FG
37 PTS, 21 REB, 5 BLK, 64% FG
25 PTS, 15 REB, 3 BLK, 77% FG
25 PTS, 13 REB, 4 BLK, 60% FG
27 PTS, 12 REB, 3 BLK, 53% FG
44 PTS, 10 REB, 3 BLK , 66% FG
Last 8 Games AVG:
32.9 PTS, 15.4 REB, 2.9 BLK, 63% FG

Ad is better than kd. It’s freak then AD. I would argue ad is second best player in the league right now.

1st all team? At this pace? If the team ends up with a good record, he should be MVP. Dude is ridiculous this year.

The only people who can see that are folks that appreciate defense.
Unfortunately, so many folks can only see one side of the ball.

Obviously, there's a lot of season to go. He could make the all NBA team either at center or forward. So right now he's competing for a slot against Giannis, Tatum, Durant, and Jovich. |

He would make it over Durant pretty easily.
Jokic and Giannis is another story, but all this is a wait and see just because it’s so reliant on team record. If AD keeps this up all season with the team somehow having a good record, forget 1st team, he’s MVP.

We're only about a quarter of way through the season so it's way too early to start thinking about all NBA teams. But all of them are having a great season so far. Wouldnt surprised me if any one of them ends up on first team all NBA |

| AD’s jumper is coming back and that makes him even more dangerous. Key adjustment for Ham was to get AD the ball closer to the basket with Russ and Bron instead of asking Ad to just go do his own thing. |

| Straight up beasting and I love that he's working inside the paint before settling for mid range shots. Whatever got him triggered is great, because it's (his play) the difference between a playoff contender and a dud of a team. |

In terms of two way players in the league, the two best are Kawhi and AD.
AD definitely if he keeps up his play we'll not just win more games, but he should be in contention for DPOY and potentially MVP.

Not sure about Kawhi now. If AD is street cloth, then what is kawhi at this point? |

Pajamas.
I still put Giannis high up in the 2 way category.
AD and Guannis.

Yeah Giannis is definitely above Kawhi. The league is so full of shooters now, that, Giannis' lack of shooting isn't really a negative in terms of roster construction versatility. And, he actually plays. |

So, what's actually attributing to the recent stellar play from AD??
Just him feeling healthier (back feeling better)?
Inspirational talk from coach?
Pressure from the Lakers FO on wanting to see if he's THE GUY?
Getting inspiration from football?
I honestly never saw this resurgence coming. Even if it's not sustainable, this string of games is still super impressive coming from a guy we have lost so much faith on. |

| Back to playing like a generational talent. This is definitely the AD the Lakers traded the entire farm for. Maybe top 5 this season. I still believe he was robbed of the FMVP in 2020, just basing it off of his DPOY level impact. |

Maybe he stopped eating the ruffles? That (bleep) is poison for the knees.

Great post and I never saw it as well. I do not think I am exaggerating when I say this string of games has been Kobe like. |
