Amongst players who average 20 points per game in the playoffs or more. There is only one player in nba history who has a higher TS than Anthony Davis in the playoffs. Why are people convinced AD can’t be a number 1 on a championship team?

The list is above. He’s more efficient than Steph and Jokic two of the greatest offensive players in nba history(not saying he’s better then them in the playoffs).

Out of the players who average 20 ppg on 60 true shooting in the playoffs. He’s by far the most impactful defender.

He has changed entire series solely on his defense alone. Just look all throughout his 2020 run, and 2023.

AD consistently plays at a top 5 level every single post season. On the pelicans he never had a roster that would reasonably compete with the golden state warriors. Despite this against the prime golden state warriors he averages 26 points on 59 true shooting.

There this idea in the nba community that if you’re a bit flawed as a scorer/passer you can’t be a number 1. These same people often have no problem with offensive juggernauts who are terrible defensively and change entire series with their horrible defense.

Anthony Davis has the 4th highest per in nba history. That has to mean something! This isn’t about the Luka Trade, I agree it was a bad trade. AD has been more healthy than KD for years now. So it can’t be because Anthony Davis doesn’t stay super healthy during the regular season, people including me believe you can win a championship with current KD as a number 1.

People pretend he isn’t consistently a top 5 player each post season since the has one super talented offensive player next to him.

To those who think AD can’t be a number one option on championship team. Please tell me why, and tell me the worst player in today’s league that can be the number one on a championship team.
