Christie said after the game.
“Especially when he’s playing as well as he is now.
.we just give him the ball.
Quite simply, as a guard, one of my best players plays like that.
When you see it rolling, we have to effectively get the ball to the area he’s in.
“I think we did a good job, because of course the AD is really talented and very skilled.
It’s easy for us to do.
” Performances like this are par for the course for the Pro Davis crowd.
He’s averaging 25.
7 points and 12.
2 rebounds this season, but it’s his 11th season, considering he still has a proven track record of championship rings, in-season tournament titles, Olympic gold medals, and NBA Top 75 selections.
What else is a veteran of the season supposed to do?
For fans and critics alike, the answer is the same.
” more”.
They hope to be able to match the level of play Davis has shown on a more consistent basis, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
Since December, the answer to Davis’ offensive stability has been a resounding yes.
He is averaging 29.
1 points on 57% shooting, and in the final week of his season in 2023-24 he hit his highs of 40 points and 37 points.
His ability to protect the rim, switch, and guard one through five was never in question.
There’s no question that Kobe Bryant has been the best player in the NBA for years, but there’s only one MVP — Davis is underrated defensively because he’s the best defender at that level.
That’s just because the league hasn’t given out an award yet.
For many years.
Maybe this is the year he finally deserves it.
A performance like tonight will definitely be the highlight of his Defensive Player of the Year award.
With less than a minute left, Davis took advantage of a game on the line to turn the tide in the Lakers’ favor.
He blocked Scottie Barnes’ layup attempt, grabbed a defensive rebound and attacked the rim on the other side of the court, resulting in a foul on Siakim.
He made eight straight free throws in the final minute, and the Lakers needed every point as they narrowly won, 132-131.
As Davis approached the free throw line to maintain the lead, something very unusual was heard at Crypto.com Arena: MVP is a chant for a Laker not named LeBron.
