“Takes This AD Matchup Personally”: NBA World in Awe as Giannis Antetokounmpo Decimates Lakers Superstar

The Los Angeles Lakers might be heading towards another heartbreakingall-time loss amid their attempt to get into the playoffs. A LeBron James-less Lakers are getting decimated on the road by the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. A major reason for the Lakers’ struggles has been the underwhelming performance of Anthony Davis. While fans expected a competitive duel between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis, The Greek Freak has gotten the better of AD for the majority of the game.

Although AD scored 29 points in regulation, he was highly inefficient from the field. Davis shot an abysmal 11 of 29 from the field and could not do much against Giannis’ lockdown defense. The Greek Freak’s dominant performance on Anthony Davis even left the NBA World in awe of the 2-time MVP.

NBA World reacts to Giannis Antetokounmpo dominating Anthony Davis

As Antetokounmpo bullied Anthony Davis early in tonight’s game, fans could not help but appreciate the competitive spirit of the Bucks superstar. One fan wrote on X, “Giannis takes this AD matchup personally. Every single time.” The NBA World followed suit.

This fan complemented Giannis for handling a Top 75 player like Anthony Davis with ease on both ends of the floor.

Another fan claimed the only player Anthony Davis is more scared of than Giannis is 2-time MVP Nikola Jokic. The Joker has gotten the better of AD multiple times, including last year’s Western Conference Finals.

This fan made a hilarious statement about Giannis laying a Greek hammer on AD.

This fan claimed Davis has only had maybe two good games against Giannis since joining the Lakers.

Although the fans trolled AD for frequently getting dominated by Giannis, their head-to-head record tells a different story.

Despite what the NBA World says, Anthony Davis has a winning record against The Greek Freak. Over the course of their careers, Giannis and Davis had faced each other 20 times before heading into tonight’s game. Surprisingly, Davis’ team has won in 12 of those encounters. AD averages a whopping 26.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists against Giannis in his career. Even tonight, Davis proved the fans wrong as he helped the Lakers make a miraculous comeback in the second half to send the game to double overtime.

AD made amends for his terrible shooting in the first half by dominating the rest of the game. If Anthony Davis can lead the Lakers to a win in LeBron James’ absence, he will regain the bragging rights over Giannis Antetokounmpo. Tonight’s win will mark AD’s 13th career win against The Greek Freak. Do you believe Anthony Davis can make a successful comeback and silence his critics?
