Anthony Davis sets new record like Shaq and Karl Malone

Anthony Davis is quickly securing his place as one of the greatest big men in Los Angeles Lakers history.

When it comes to famous points, the Lakers are known for producing legends.

Think names like George Mikan, Shrink Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Shaquille O'Neal. Now, Davis seems on track to join that illustrious group, and the former Kentucky star continues to exceed expectations.

As of last Friday, Davis tied Shaquille O'Neal's record for most points, 10 rebounds, and more than two blocks per game, making him part of Lakers history.

His performance shows he's making a huge impact on the Lakers, giving fans hope that it could be a great season.

Despite a career-testing injury, Davis recently helped lead the Lakers to a title in 2020. Now, with a shocking start to the 2024-25 season, he's emerged as an MVP candidate.

Davis plays with great leadership skills. Need more proof? He became the first NBA player since Karl Malone in 1993 to catch at least 20 passes, record a block and score a touchdown in each of the first six games of a season.

Davis surpassed even Shaq and Malone in impact and quickly became a formidable competitor that no team wanted to face.
