AD has been a beast but you gotta win to be in the mvp discussion. If the lakers keep winning, that stuff will take care of itself

You realise this is like 10 points off what Embiid is average right?

We’ve been using AD at the top of the key more. Why didn’t we do this all year? He’s been cooking centers on drives

The primary reason behind his crazy performances is continuity. He’s not sitting out games/injured anymore (knock on my wood) and I think that’s helped him build rhythm. About damn time man id love to see him win DPOY

Dude this guy gets absolutely no love! I’m on sleeper for fantasy basketball. Anytime some one drops 40 they send a notification like JOEL EMBIID 🔥🔥🔥. Nothing when ad did it a week or 2 ago. Anytime someone gets a sick dunk same thing but they didn’t send one for AD vs Chet. It’s crazy he’s probably the most underrated player or at least disrespected. Every fan base acts like they wouldn’t want AD. He’s definitely become one of my favorite lakers

I’m not gonna lie…I was talking shit about AD being the worst All Star Center that can’t properly pass out of double teams.
I apologize…assist numbers going UP!

If our record was better he’d be top 3 in the MVP race and leading the DPoY race.

Love seeing his mid range shot falling again. It opens his game and the whole offense so much more. Because if he’s hitting then they’ll close out and he’s too good with his handles. If he gets room on a drive they’ll send a double and he can just kick out or hit a guy cutting. That’s the offense the team needs to run

If he had an Embiid whistle he’d be in the mvp convo with him and jokic. It’s fucking crazy how much ppg avg for Embiid is FTs

If AD can start regularly getting these kinds of assists (he was a guard prior to the growth spurt) along with his rediscovering of the long two ON TOP OF his already elite defense… it will be the best version of AD we’ve ever seen imo. This is top 5 cornerstone of the franchise level of play we are seeing.
Note that the 5.2 number includes the games where we was only starting the facilitation.
Get this man all the help he needs. A reliable big to let him rest more and then roam some on D, improved focus on getting him the ball in spots he likes, building in counters in your offensive system when he gets double or triple teamed and I don’t see why we can’t have him at least realistically at having a shot as MVP and DPOY. (assuming we win enough games of course)

He’s been making great reads, especially out of double teams

AD’s passing game has tremendously improved this year. Hopefully it’s sustainable! There has been more movement in the offense as well with more players finally cutting.
jobeeeeeeem
They only talk about him every bad game and injury and that is a shame.

Gotta love it. Basketball gods keep AD healthy like this all year long please 🙏
EATMYBASS3
I really hope we go on crazy run and move up the standings because AD is having a special season man
He deserves DPOY.

He will be disrespected and not in top 5 even for MVP
_Aracano
I can’t believe people wanted to trade this dude, he’s the best all around player in the league when healthy, or definitely in the top 3 -5 along with Joker, Embiid, Luka and Shae.

Just get him and Bron the 6th seed or higher and them healthy in the playoffs

It’s really unfortunate he won’t be recognized for any of it because our record sucks so much 😔

Hate to break it to you guys but he’s not winning MVP on a team ranked 10th.

AD has been the best version of himself a lot this year. It’s a damn shame that the national media is a bunch of ass clowns constantly talking shit about him.
