If you didn’t know it, the Lakers’ Anthony Davis is a very good player. From his consistently above-average scoring to his defensive contributions, there is really only one downside and that’s been his ability in recent seasons to stay healthy. That said, when Davis has been good to go, few in the league have been able to compare. On Sunday, he reinforced that fact once again. Anthony Davis makes NBA history Let’s set the stage. By all accounts, Anthony Davis shouldn’t even have been on the court when the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday Night. As mentioned above, Davis has had his fair share of issues when it comes to injury. In this case it was shoulder soreness. Add to that a bout of illness, and it looked almost certain that the 31-year-old would not feature. Yet, that’s exactly what Davis did and we’ve got to say, he did it well.

In the world of professional basketball, size often matters, but these players took it to a whole new level. Standing head and shoulders above the competition, the NBA has witnessed some towering figures who left a lasting impact on the game.

Anthony Davis has been a monster of late for the Lakers, who were riding a three-game winning streak coming into Phoenix Tuesday night. The winning streak ended with a 115-105 loss to the Suns, but Davis' run of dominance continued with a stat line you have to see to believe: 37 points, 21 rebounds, five steals and five blocks.  Since blocks and steals became an official stat in 1973, Davis is the only player to put up that line.  Blocks and steals were first officially recorded in 1973. Since then, Anthony Davis is the only player ever to have 35+ PTS, 20+ REB, 5+ STL, and 4+ BLK in a single game. pic.twitter.com/KS0BP1Bx4z — NBA (@NBA) November 23, 2022 This is remarkable to me. Watching the first half of this game, I found myself saying, "same ol' A.D." as he wasn't getting into the paint and forcing downhill action like had been in his three previous perfor...
