You know these stats, each crazier than the next, which abound every night on our networks. So-and-so has become the first player to score eight straight points in a red and yellow outfit and when the outside temperature is 11 degrees, another remains an incredible streak of four parking sortings inscribed on the L of his franchise logo. In the same vein, but a bit more telling? A stat regarding Anthony Davis’ start to the season, far from disgusting, but not quite up to expectations when it comes to his skill when he leaves the racket.
Article to be taken with a grain of salt, possible that some second or third degree trolls are hiding in the following lines
So how is Anthony Davis a big ball? We who believed that he was the most indefensible player in the League, suddenly we are speechless. In any case, this is what a statistic signed Statmuse revealed to us a few hours ago, making us discover the pot-aux-roses: Anthony Davis is a calamity at mid-distance and turns squarely into a beast when he is behind the 3-point line. Aim instead, we talk about it – a little – just after:
Anthony Davis this season:
16.7% on threes — worst in NBA history by any player with 2+ attempts per game and 20+ games played.
38.3% on midrange — worst in the NBA by any player with 100+ attempts.
33.1% on jumpshots — worst in the NBA by any player with 150+ attempts. pic.twitter.com/KZ2YEYzEjD

What does this tweet tell us? That the inside of the Lakers, you know, the one who comes close to the five by five in every game, is therefore the worst 3-point shooter in the history of the League among those who play more than 20 minutes per game. and which take more than two long shots per game. Or that the Mono-eyebrow, you know, one of the 5 best players in the world and perhaps its best defender, is the worst player in the League in the mid-distance shoots radius, among the players who took more of 100 shots this season. And finally, that AD, you know, this kind of freak who can do absolutely everything, is the craziest player in the League at the level of jumpshots, among the forwards having tried more than 150.
Respiration.
What to deduce from it? Probably that Anthony Davis is not only terribly overpriced, but that he no longer has his place in the NBA in view of these figures. Or we have to take a step back from some of the stats that the NBA gives us every night. Because we did our research, and we’d love to see your faces if you knew Kyle Kuzma is the league’s most effective player when he wears a thong in the warm-up.
