Anthony Davis was on fire tonight. His 55-point eruption is the best single-game rating this season. He was at his explosive best and fans are beginning to remark on his brilliance. AD was the person tonight. Magic Johnson is giving his seal of approval.
The Los Angeles Lakers are back to their winning best. The NBA is back to normal. The Lakers have been 8-2 of their last 10 and there’s a glimmer of hope.
After being a defense-first team for the primary 2 months, LA has pivoted to producing some great offense. The previous few games have been a joy to observe and tonight felt just like the culmination of all of that. AD was at the middle of all of it.
Magic Johnson thinks Anthony Davis must be the MVP frontrunner
And Magic Johnson, a Laker legend thinks AD must be the front-runner for MVP? While AD’s performance has been scintillating, he must be within the conversation, not leading it.
Together with his 55 point and 17 rebound performance tonight, Anthony Davis leads the NBA MVP race!

Coach Ham has been ecstatic to speak about Davis each time he gets the possibility. And he has been relishing the dominant play from Davis.
