'He's the best defensive player of this era,' the NBA analyst who thinks Davis deserves more love

When the Lakers signed Anthony Davis back in 2019, a lot of expectation was set on him and he quickly delivered when alongside LeBron James the team won the 2020 NBA championship title.

Since then, the Lakers and Anthony Davis haven't been able to repeat the 'Bubble' success as the star hasn't stayed healthy for long, and the NBA media has been constantly hard on him.

AD is one of the best players in the NBA when healthy, as he showed in the 2020 season, the problem is, he hasn't been able to be consistent and that's the main reason why he is called 'fragile' or inconsistent.

But the Volume Sports NBA analyst Jason Timpf believes that Davis is the best defensive player of this era. "I think Anthony Davis, like when we look back on this era, his claim to fame is, He's the best defensive player of this era when he's healthy. I have never seen a player, in this era, reach the individual defensive ceiling that AD reach in the 2020 playoffs. When it comes to actual defensive impact on the game by one single player on a series. I don't think anyone in this era has touched what Davis has been able to do, and I think that's what he'll be remembered for."

Anthony Davis wants to win another championship title in LA

In his exit interview, after getting swept by the Lakers, Anthony Davis said he wants to win another championship title in LA with LeBron James. Also, when Pau Gasol saw his jersey number being retired to the rafters, Davis made the goal for himself to have his number retired one day, for that, he needs to make a difference in the team and get back on his 2020 level.
