This is like comparing 2023 Bron to Miami Bron lol

You can clearly see how the injuries have taken a toll on him.

The sheer explosiveness in terms of burst and leap he had which was absurd is gone. AD’s game has never been about backing down guys in low post and getting to work ala a Jokic/Embiid/Shaq etc. He is very much more of a KG in terms of style than those guys. A mix of everything. Can post up a bit but not great at it, solid at face up game but the real impact is at the defensive end. However he doesn’t quite have that motor and intensity of a KG and that can be frustrating.

But considering how much he does for this team, I will never hate on him. Its frustrating and disappointing, but hating this guy who played out of his mind to deliver a Championship and battling through so many injuries…

Look at all the easy baskets he’s getting. We haven’t seen those kind of plays for AD since Rondo ran the point.

Get this man a true 5 to play next to and let AD lose some weight. Wow what a difference here. I love AD

Lakers need another hefty center so AD can play as a Chris Bosh type center who mostly is a PF in practice but plays center against small lineups or covers skilled bigs like Jokic while the rest of the defense is sizable enough to handle the other players.

we will never see this AD again

good post- relevant and timely

what goin on
