Making a bunch of money and underperforming is actually an American cultural thing. I think AD has figured that out.
Called playing through injury
Y’all just loved him two games ago lol.
Will the media ever blame lebron's trash defense for the lakers' struggles? Obviously not. Quick, we need to blame AD!
AD is sure wasting LBJ's remaining time. LBJ, KD and Steph need to form a super team to dethrone this Denver Juggernauts. No one is stopping Denver in the west at this time.
When they won the title in the bubble,i saw something between ad and lebron that told me this might not work
He rehearses the 6 flags basically everytime he gives an AD take. I haven't heard anybody else even try to use that nickname. Nicknames are supposed to be funny and easy to understand without us needing an explainer for it everytime. He should leave that type of stuff to Skip or Shannon or guys like Nick, Shaq or Chuck.
Light the Beam!!!

It's apparent AD is struggling with an injury.
Anthony Davis needs to take a darkness retreat & get his mind right, frfr!
Trade trade trade
He can play great for a week straight and get no praise, one bad game and the media calling him out. The media I tell you
If i Were To Ever Own a NBA Team I'm Treating my team like a Regular Paying Job. There's No Long term Contracts You'll get Paid Weekly and your Check Will reflect Your Performance
Am I the only one who has seen doctors all over the internet say that Anthony Davis has a bone deficiency? He has a disease he literally can't stay healthy
Remember when yall was saying AD was Bron's best teammate he's ever had.
I love lebron but he can be too soft and passive at times. Ad is one of them teammates where someone like lebron NEEDS to get in his face and stop being soft on him… Like someone on the team man up and call that man out
So, the Lakers are not winning the championship?
Davis don't like playing with LeBron.
Caruso or brogdon on Philly would be nice they need another playmaker. Brogdon always hurt tho
Anthony Davis is NOT great and people need to stop using that word so loosely these days.
Lebron banked his last years on AD, and it worked the first year because Lebron could still carry without getting hurt, and AD was solid, but, now that Lebron needs AD to at bare minmum give him 25 and 12 every night, AD seems like he can't handle that pressue
AD is obviously not healthy. He may never be healthy, again.
Sas thought that 6 flags line would slap when he thought about the day before in bed😂
It didnt
Trade AD to the Clippers or the Wizards. That's the destination for former stars that are on the decline.
ESPN was waiting for this game! Dudes been dominating
Tony Bosch……….
Anthony Davis plays hurt. He has been hitting those boards and rebounding for 11 straight years and now playing against other 6.11ft and 7.0 ft young players. It is easy for podcasters to talk sitting down. LeBron doesn't play 82 games in a season.
Who is he to be mad dude gone
Stop. Anthony Davis is who he is. Stop thinking he’s great when he’s not.
Had KINGS ML BTW💸😈
He's not that dude. Stop saying it's unacceptable for a "player of his caliber". He is not that dude, he has shown us time after time what he is.
Street Clothes that's who AD is so the media needs to stop calling him great. Street Clothes on the clothes line washed up.
AD settled where he is. Mindset is all wrong.
No matter how good AD plays the lakers won’t win anything. The supporting cast is trash.. who else on the lakers plays defense at least Jokic has teammates that play D.
He has statistically great moments, he has the talent and skill but he is far too inconsistent. The disappearing act is a disqualifier for me
AD needs semen retention .boy empty during season if you know yoy know his legs are weak
63 million dollars guys. INCREDIBLE
AD cares more about his post-game outfit than he does the outcome of the game.
Please get rid of AD!!! He is garbage!!!
How long are people going to keep calling AD great? It's laughable. SOooooo many better players in the league
They gotta send him packing for some picks and some solid players
Austin with more rebounds than Ad is insane.
AD PITIFUL!! so a 39 year old still has to carry the team!! what the lakers waiting on to trade dude!
