Elgin Baylor (11 times)
Shaquille O’Neal (9 times)
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (2 times)
Wilt Chamberlain (2 times)
Led by Anthony Davis’s 30 points and 23 rebounds, the No. 7 seed Los Angeles Lakers defeat the No. 6 seed Golden State Warriors in Game 1, 117-112.

IMHO, AD is determined to win 2023 NBA Finals MVP, coz’ right now has a big chance, Lakers is having good defensive players AD, Vbilt, Rui, Schroder, AR, etc.. plus other good bench players. King Lebron is motivated to get another Champ trophy 🏆…coz’ not getting any younger. Pres & GM Rob Pelinka, my hats off to you, you’ve got good players after trades…nagbunga hirap, at last!!!!

They ask such stupid questions if I was an NBA player it’d be hard for me to disregard the stupidity coming out the reporters mouth

Davis was so effective in the middle with the zone defense of the Dubs because of his gentle touch, unlike Sabonis in the Kings series. You can really tell the Dubs were so puzzled as they tried to double team Davis, zone him, 1on1 match but all of these he burnt them all. There was a light at the final minute of the 4th quarter were the Dubs were trying to outrun them if Davis is crashing the boards. That way Lakers can’t set their defense. But at the same time this will be an advantage for the lakers as they will counter this one too.

AD was amazing offensively & defensively, Warriors couldn’t get inside and died by the 3, No one is talking about how well Russell played tonight, Vanderbilt on Steph was a good move, Reaves & Schroder are difference makers.
& Y’all gotta remember last series AD was guarded by DPOY…Looney is not that
So in that case AD better dominate this whole series golden st has nobody who can hold him
