The debate is over? That is a great stat line and he has played well this year but AD is known as the best big in the league right now by many. I disagree the debate is over on that end.
As the only players to record 20+ points, 20+ rebounds, and 10+ assists in back to back games.
In the last four games he's averaging 27.8pts, 18.0rebs, 7.0asts, 3.5 blks. I'm a huge fan of Anthony Davis but the debate is over, no big in the league can dominate a game like Cousins.
His stats this season have him in some elite company. (Kareem, Barkley, Garnett, Duncan, Shaq, Hakeem, D.Robinson)

If the incompetent front office gets it's act together and surrounds him with 3 & D guys the Kings could be fun to watch next year under George Karl. Cauley-Stein paired next to Cousins would be a scary front court.

In my mind yes the debate is over. If I had the choice to build around Cousins or Davis I take Cousins every single time. I really really like Davis but he can not dominate a game like Cousins can.
the punk ass imature was stat padding in the 4th to the detriment of his team.
stat padding 13 assists lol stupid
...and his usual 5 turnovers. Wake me up when he isn't giving back a ~10 point differential every game.
I'd take 13 assists to 5 turnovers from my center every single night.
Since 1985 there have been nine 20-20-10 games. Cousins just had 2 of them back to back, incredible. Even more incredible they lost both games![]()
he was playing PG in the fourth to get his assists..
just bexause he got 13 assist doesn't mean he wasn't stat padding you dumbfuxk.
How do you dominate and lose that much? Wilt and Elgin made it to the EC and NBA Finals year after year. Wilt had ty teams with the Warriors. Boogie has never made an 8 seed.
You are not very convincing with your stat padding argument, especially considering you are ing about his assists.
He had 4 assists in the fourth quarter. Was he also playing PG for the first three quarters and his other 9 assists? Amazing 20 rebound game by a PG, or were his rebounds also just stay padding?
How about both performances coming with the L? Empty effort padded stats.
Aside from Rudy Gay there is no one else on that team worth a . They can't defend and the bench is the worst in the league. If they had mediocre shooters he'd average 6 assists a game. He's also had three different head coaches this year. Had they kept Malone I think they would have made the 8th seed. They were off to their best start in over ten years and were beating playoff teams until Cousins got viral meningitis and Malone was fired.
No one was worth a on Wilt's Warriors teams.
Best start in history had you struggling in 9th. Sucks to be a Kings fan.
Hating on Cousins is just a vanilla mainstream take at this point, tbh. He's the real deal. Too bad he's saddled with such a ty franchise and owner. That being said, I'd still take Davis in the long term.
JaVale McGee can get those numbers in a good day or in a ty team as Washington was. I just dunno about assists, since nig is dumb as but he can get huge triple doubles too.
Wilt played in an era where he was able to average 50 a game for the season and score a 100 points in a game, the two eras aren't a good comparison as the talent level overall today is far superior.
They were 9-6 before Cousins was out for two weeks and had beaten the Spurs, Clippers, Blazers, Bulls, and Pelicans and were close in the games they lost. It sucks to be a Kings fan and have a start like that and then have your head coach fired. And then have the next coach fired.
I'm happy Ranadive bought the Kings and kept them in Sacramento but he hasn't a clue of how to run a team and needs to let Divac and Karl handle team operations from here on out.
Debate is over syndrome
JaVale McGee career 8.4pts/5.5rbs
Is it worse than Downs?
Who would you want in the playoffs though?
Tim Duncan
He's a beast, but does have the propensity to turn it over. Him and AD both have bright futures.
Counsins has come a long way mentally and basketball-wise since he entered the league, but I'd still take Davis over him. Cousins has a better offensive game, but Davis' defensive impacts are far superior.
cousins is such an underrated passer. dude needs to team up with wall again. wall KD and cousins in dc would be sick.
