I am here to set the record straight.

Anthony Davis is a top-five player in the NBA. It is simply not a debate. If we take a look at his statistics (which can be found here), we see that Anthony Davis does not suck but is in fact an exceptionally gifted two-way force.

Let us start with his traditional statistics. Anthony Davis is averaging 24.3 points per game (good for fourth in the league), 10.2 rebounds per game (10th in the league), 1.5 steals per game (an excellent number for a big man), and 2.9 blocks per game (easily leading the league).

He also makes 53.7% of his shots, making him the sixth most accurate shooter in the league. This number is actually deceiving, as the five players ahead of him are low-usage big men whose shots are usually assisted and come near the basket, often on dunks. Anthony Davis is a much more diverse offensive threat, boasting one of the most accurate (and improved) mid-range jump shots in the league. He can create his own shot, whereas players like Marcin Gortat and DeAndre Jordan struggle more in this area. He makes 80.2% of his free throws, so unlike other big men like Dwight Howard or DeAndre Jordan, he is not a liability at the end of games should the opposing team attempt to put him on the foul line.

Defense is more difficult to track, but here Davis also ranks highly. A quick look at his defensive splits shows how much he affects opposing offensive players. To translate these statistics, players defended by Davis see their shooting percentage decline by an average of 6.6%. He is especially effective on the perimeter, where his unique blend of length and agility (combined with an aesthetically pleasing fluidity) allow him to terrorize shooters. This skill is especially important in today's NBA, where offenses have evolved to create spacing with outside shooters to open driving lanes. No one is better at covering this space than Davis. Opponents' 3-point field goal percentage falls by a remarkable 8.3% when guarded by Davis. He is also incredibly adept at protecting the paint.

Newer statistics are also kind to Davis. He sports a historically great PER (Player Efficiency Rating) of 30.8. There are other "advanced metrics" that are kind to Davis, but I am going to stop here before I have to hose myself down with ice-cold water.

Numbers are great, but does he pass "the eye test"? Here too you see what a specimen Anthony Davis is. He has had a major effect on winning, with his team clinging to the final playoff spot in the hyper-competitive western conference. Of course, his teammates have also affected this outcome, but one must look more closely at the impact Davis has had. The Pelicans (the team he plays for, for those of you who live under a rock) have the same record as the Thunder, but if they finish the season that way, the Pelicans win the tiebreaker because the Pelicans have beaten the Thunder head-to-head in three of their four games. Anthony Davis is the reason why. What a shot!

You can also search "Anthony Davis highlights" into YouTube and peruse his sensational abilities.

To top it all off, he just turned 22. He is only beginning to tap his potential.

So you may tell me that Anthony Davis sucks "as a bonus." But you will be wrong, and on Judgment Day, you will regret your decision to do so as fire rains from the heavens.

LONG LIVE ANTHONY DAVIS.

Why are the beautiful sick and divided like myself?

...5 tries and this one still sounds awful. I made it at like 3am in the morning from me. This mic is awful, I wasted 4700 yen on this thing. It picked up my TV so you can hear that in the background. I sound like a robot, and its like idk different from my real voice.

I was forced by Syn. I also just realized that I mixed up Yoshi/Gloom with Oddish, her younger sister, who I do not know, so I think my response is still acceptable.
