Over the last few seasons, fans associated Anthony Davis with the word ‘injury prone’. The LA Lakers star center suffered various injuries throughout his career and missed plenty of games. Especially, in the last season, the 31-year-old was repeatedly trolled for sitting on the bench with ‘street clothes’. However, Davis seemed to have whitewashed the title given to him with his consistency on the floor. Importantly, the fans have recognized it as an insane stat that took the NBA world by surprise.

After tonight’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, AD has played 96 of the last 100 games. Truly, a strong answer to his critics. On top of that, he also put in 52 minutes in tonight’s double-overtime thriller against the Bucks, scoring 34 points with 23 rebounds. In response to the massive feat, a fan said, “He really beat the allegations that’s crazy.” 

Here are some reactions from fans:

Another fan tagged along and acknowledged the ‘allegation’ comment.

A loyal AD fan reminded the critics of their harsh terms of AD always on the bench with ‘street clothes.’

This fan gave a new name to the 9x All-Star.

Another fan sarcastically clarified whether the X post was about AD because the player was always injured.

While Anthony Davis kept himself fit throughout the season, he also had his fair share of injuries. Despite that, he continued playing on the floor. Even during tonight’s game, while contesting against Giannis Antetokounmpo, he injured his shoulder. Everyone expected the star to leave the floor, but he continued to play and played for 52 minutes.

AD’s tough approach to the game may have come after the overflowing criticism. The criticisms not only come from the fans but also from celebrities like Snoop Dogg. The star rapper took to his social media comments and lashed out at the center during the last season.

Snoop Dogg trashed Anthony Davis

During the 2022-23 season, the major part of the season, AD and LeBron James sat on the bench with injuries. It indeed impacted the team’s record as they looked nowhere closer to playoff contention. At that time, an IG post called the duo, ‘Best duo in the league’.

In response to the post, Snoop Dogg took to the comments and said, “I’m loosing faith a. D. Need to get his body tight like Lebron. I’m tired of seeing him on bench in street clothes.”
