@@rlmalonzo1184 excluding last year where Gobert and Wemby were clearly better defensively, the past 5 years prior he missed between 20 to 46 games a season. And he was not better than Giannis in 2020. He is an all time defensive player, but sometimes the competition is just better.
The greatest defensive player I’ve seen. Been watching the NBA for 20 years. I feel like he has lost a bit of his athleticism and flexibility lately because I feel like 2020 AD would’ve altered or blocked Jamal Murray in those 2 game winning shots 😢
@@geoffnaggie961 It's hard to gauge Duncan's perimeter effectiveness because that wasn't his role, but he certainly wasn't a Rudy Gobert who could just get pulled out and abused. Garnett was a better perimeter defender than AD though.
To be fair I don’t seen that called a lot. Barnes was already stumbling and AD went straight up. The difference is when his arms came down all he hit was the ball
It’s a crime AD has never been DPOY
He was always injured for a big portion of the season
@@joshkatz4448 there's only 2 seasons where he's injured majority of the season, 2021 and 2022. He shouldve won in 2020, 2023, and 2024.
@@joshkatz4448 His not one favorite of the League
The LEAGUE HATES AD it's that simple, u will get alll the hate for being a Laker

My face when I see DG, Caruso and KCP on the floor = 😁
My face when I see Westbrook on the floor = 😢
11 Game winning defensive plays in 4 seasons is impressive. IDK if anyone else has that many game winning defensive plays over the same stretch.
The TRUE DPOY. No question.
The defensive personnel we had in that first clip 😢
Facts
Gone are those days man 🥲
Mfs like Marcus Smart and rudy gobert won DPOY over AD 😭
Whenever we were up by one possession at the end of a game I felt confident that AD was gonna come up clutch
Or a foul a three point shooter :/
@@yigituguruzumcu7596 happen literally twice you BUM 🤡
@@yigituguruzumcu7596that only happened twice for the past 2 seasons tho, against the mavs and wolves.
It's insanely criminal how little love AD gets for the DPOY. Felony level criminal. #PurpleAndGoldReign
I really believe AD should’ve won DPOY in 2020 and 2024 he had better defensive stats than Rudy smh
2020 was Giannis. 2024 maybe not. Should've been last year over JJJ. That dude was a fraud
That last block is wild. Fronting Giannis and still able to block Dame while still in position to deny a pass to Giannis
" Block By Davis " put that on a t-shirt 💜💛

I love AD, but Garnett and Duncan were better defensively if you've been watching for 20 years...
@@cottonmather8146 Duncan didn't have ADs ability to switch and cover ground on the perimeter. But I agree with you

I agree with your first statement and that’s it.
Came in the league with HOF defense and is gonna leave the NBA as a HOF
Loving these highlight videos!
Best two way player in the league
The NBA has something against A.D- Haters 101...
1:27 this is insane AD almost in the paint when he gets the ball
best defender in the league
Best defender in the world
The first clip. That one is almost always called as a foul. I like this no-call better.
To be fair I don’t seen that called a lot. Barnes was already stumbling and AD went straight up. The difference is when his arms came down all he hit was the ball
shoutout adpoy
imagine lakers get herb jones
lebron/reaves/herb jones/vando/Ad
how good this defense will be
no other big plays passing lanes like him. His only flaw defensively is literally guarding bigger stronger guys in the post
I’ve been telling folks this for years. Maybe because my last name is Davis they hate me too 😂
LFG love this idea
AD will get DOPY and Lebron will get MVP and the Lakers will win a championship, mark my words..
The best defender currently in my opinion.
Let just hope NBA will bring the FIBA defense style and not wristle at any contact.
Wait there is a shot blocking big man, who is not a liability in end of games? wow that he should be at least a DPOY candidate.
There’s genuinely not a single player in the league I’m not okay with putting Anthony Davis on. JJJ and Marcus Smart getting DPOY’s on him is a joke
None better than
Playoff Rondo AC KCP LBJ AD lineups.....................
All Rudy Gobert is missing is a laker fan to make videos like this lol
And he’s missing good defense. The ability to play offense. The ability to catch a ball. And the IQ not to lick a bunch of microphones
