He is the best defensive player I’ve seen with my eyes live. He just covers so much ground with his movement and length, i just don’t see how you play him. His on-ball defense is better than I’ve expected, you cross him up and step back and he still will have a hand in your face. Nothing easy. I will always take a interior defender over a perimeter because they effect more plays.

Telling ppl this how lakers gonna guard the clippers in the 4th quarter, Avery on lou will, Ad on kawhi, Danny green on pg, McGee or Dwight on Harrell depending on if lakers stay big which I think they should because clippers struggle with big lineups (look at yesterday’s game), and lebron either on harkless or Beverly whoever clippers have in the game in the 4th. This allows lebron to read the offense and play free safety. Ad is gonna give kawhi problems on defense because he has length and can move his feet, kawhi doesn’t have moves he uses his strength and dribbling to get to his spots and shoot his mid range jumper. Look at the 4th quarter on opening night when Ad started guarding kawhi he shut him down because kawhi couldn’t shoot over the top of Ad. Lakers need to attack lou will on defense at all times make him expend energy to take away from his offense. 2. Rondo will play a big factor in that matchup because he’s the only other playmaker and he’s the only one that can run the pick and roll with Ad because if lebron runs the sf/pf pick and roll with Ad, the clippers are just gonna switch it, the clippers can’t switch with rondo and Ad because you not gonna switch a point guard onto Ad. Lastly, clippers will struggle all year on offense against good defenses i been telling ppl this because they have no true playmakers and they play iso ball almost everytime down the court unless they running a pick and roll with montrez who struggles against length in the paint Brook Lopez gave him problems. Clippers play too much iso basketball which affects the rhythm of kawhi and pg. that’s why kawhi shot been off. Clippers gonna mess around and get a 4 seed 5 seed matchup against the nuggets and that’s gonna give them a huge problem because Denver is big, have wing defenders, they play defense, and traveling from la to high altitude Denver is cause for concern. Stay woke on the clippers ppl going crazy over their defenders but all you need is a screen to penetrate the paint where clippers are weak at.

Lakers length and size alone will be a nightmare for Clippers. If Frank Vogel just let AC played on opening night things will be different. He can match Beverly pound for pound even on energy and hustle. Lakers bench needs to step up because even though the Clippers doesn't have a legit facilitator their bench alone is legit. Lakers needs to match those energy that those guys brings but the only thing the Lakers advantage that I've seen is a nightmare for the Clippers and that is AD. No one and I mean no one can match him pound for pound. He's a beast. Health will be the X Factor with the Lakeshow. Hopefully they can stay that way because it's been a decade since we've seen that banner being raised to the rafters. 17th season with the King hopefully with a ring. 17th championship.

blazon1982 who puts stock in the first game of the season plus lebron and Ad had an average game in their first game together yet the clippers only won by 10 by hitting free throws late. Clippers should be fearful if you barely beating the lakers when bron and Ad ain’t play great. Good luck pg is a 5 point game waiting to happen. This man had a ESPN short series in 2018 after getting torched by joe ingles who held him to 8 points in game 6 😂😂 that’s whose gonna beat bron
Amazing how many of AD's defensive plays lead to points for us at the other end. AD beasting.

This Lakers team is so much fun to watch on both offense and defense. We are so lucky to have a AD playing for the Lakers
damn those long arms works like a wonder man!
The Lakers paint defense is just crazy man 🔥
its actually easy this year, AD has been on another level, i always knew that he was a phenomenal defender with his size arms quickness and fundamentals but im actually shocked how good this guy has been, he can switch 1-5 and defend anybody with ease
AD is Michael Abdul Rodman
Dude is killing it. Just dropped 50 tonight
Absolutely!
All those blocks create a lot of points very effective
The whole team is playing incredible defense. He wouldn't be able to step up without McGill covering his back and guards to direct players to him.

in the 80s 90s early 2000s no player like 6-11 Davis that can defend all positions Giannis to. and today's players is not slow like before and Davis IQ on defense is superb.
did y’all see Avery Bradley take like 35 steps at 2:57
im just gonna say this... he has a 15 minute video of defensive plays and its not even half the season!!! MVP & DPOY.
particularly love 19-20 AD for sure!!!
he's another lever, AD you rock!!!!1♥
1st qtr of the season is done and we get a 15min highlight reel! Can we please get a 1hr clip of the DPOY at the end of the regular season?

14:36 someone said "Haha and 1" lol🤣
miss this AD
He defends like Scottie and blocks like Dikembe!
Hell ya he is with out a doubt
I hope he gets dpoy. For an era of modern bigmen he still can do a lot of damage with his defensive capabilities
AD is a monster
YES
AD the best. I love him🏀🏆💙❤💙🔥
Stats talk.. AD💪
Keep telling ppl GENRATIONAL TALENT but ppl wont start saying it until he gets rings or they'll just keep blaming him for having no real help in NO 💯
I miss the Lakers
The Lakers are so fun to watch
AD a monster what can I say
Ayyyy I have to get dpoy
Why’d he put a whole mixtape on my hornets 😭
Some shot blockers on the league relies on their athleticism and length to block, Davis relies on all, timing , his length, athleticism, the on ball player, IQ.If he doesnt win DPOY while leading the league in SB and in top 20 steals per game plus the Lakers on top 5 defensive rating in the league, its gonna be so disappointing as a fan.Dude can lock up anybody.
Look these defensive plays and show me anything better this year. Of course he is the DPOY. Now we have to discuss if he also is the MVP. This dude is a monster.
There would have been more fast-break highlights in this defensive clinic of Anthony Davis if they passed the ball a bit better on the break as guards Danny Green and Avery Bradley should work on that it helps build momentum for the Lakers
Best player!!

Block party, everybody invited, bring the family the kids, and bring the hotdog buns
Wow 🤩
he is a candidate for both MVP and DPOTY
AD has literally been defending both the ballhandler and the roller in the PNR by himself for the past 4-5 years.
Yes he is
right now yes and not even close.
Rip Juice WRLD
It's not even close. He can get hurt and he already has a years worth of defensive highlights. If he add a few more boards per game it would be a historic level defensive performance.
❤️❤️❤️
Flight needs to watch this
AD is definitely the defensive player of the yr. LeBron just amplified him to another level.. Amazing🏀🖐️
that boi long
Please be healthy this year. We can do great things if we just stay healthy 🙏
Yes, Yes he is.
Undoubtedly.. dude is playing extra high-level right now, both offensively and defensively, fully taking advantage of this well-assembled and of course LeBron James.
