Will 26 year old AD be the best player Lebron has played with? Better than 2011-12 Wade? 2016 Kyrie?
Kyrie was nails in the finals. Wade was at his peak right before the fall off the cliff. Seems like the proof will be in the Larry O's. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."

Money comes and goes; your legacy is forever,” Davis said. “I think how you establish yourself in the NBA and what you do on and off the court is something that people will remember forever. Obviously, our money is public and people know what we make, but at the end of the day no one cares about how much money you make.
“Anthony Davis is not going to be a great basketball player because of the amount of money he makes, it’s going to be about what he achieved on the court and also off the court. That’s all part of my legacy, and I think that’s way more valuable than any monetary value.”

My goal is to win a championship,” Davis said. “I expect to win every time I step on the court, every game. I want to win a title. That’s what it’s about — winning titles. That’s the only thing on my mind.”
It is obviously difficult to compare players who played different positions when evaluating who is the best player LJ played with. Its only opinion based and not factual, as the back is forth is all moot and carries no water. However, I think that AD (who has not reached is prime) will UNDOUBTEDLY surpass Wade's (who was already North of 30) numbers of 11-12. I think it fair to say AD will average over 22 points, shoot over 50% from the field, shoot over 27% from 3, get more than 5 rebounds, etc.
Glad to hear he wants to be a Laker legend. Can he sign his new long term contract extension at his introduction press conference?
Sure would be nice to have that locked in so the issue does not linger all season. Take away the possibility he does not change his mind this season. Also confirms some much needed stability for the Lakers.

Anthony Davis will be on the cover of NBA 2k20! _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant
Anthony Davis says he joined Lakers for one reason: ‘My goal is to win a championship’ In his first comments about being a Laker, Anthony Davis made it clear that he wants to win a title in Los Angeles.
Now that AD is "official", can he join in that pitch meeting with Kawhi? _________________ Starting Lakers Dynasty6.0! NOW!!
