Former NBA player Kareem Abdul-Jabar honestly says that Anthony Davis is the best player in the league right now.
Anthony Davis by many is considered the best player in the NBA today. However, if you ask the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he firmly believes that Davis is on top.
Abdul-Jabbar had nothing but high praise for Davis when he said why Anthony Davis is the best player in the NBA:
“I have a favorite big man and he happens to play in Los Angeles and wears No. 3, Anthony Davis,” said Abdul-Jabbar, via USA TODAY Sports’ Sanjesh Singh. “I think he is the most talented. Defensively in the paint, he’s amazing. Offensively in the paint, he’s amazing, and then he can go out on the perimeter and be a problem. You can hit the 3 consistently or the medium and long-range jump shot. Then I would have to go with him. “
Many people will agree with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on his decision. On the other hand, Abdul-Jabbar’s statement is not at all surprising considering how Purple & Gold bleeds:
“But like you said, Embiid, it’s tough, Jokic, it’s tough,” Abdul-Jabbar said. “I haven’t seen them play much. I could change my mind if I get a chance to see them play more, but I will have to go with AD because I am a Laker from start to finish and he has shown it so far. ” (Fielding)
