It is not a reach to say Los Angeles Lakers superstar big man Anthony Davis is in the midst of the best stretch of his career.
Just a couple of weeks ago, he posted four straight games with at least 30 points and 15 rebounds. Now he is back into volcano mode.
On Friday, he went off for 44 points on 18-of-27 shooting, 10 rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots to lead the Lakers to a 133-129 upset win over Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Two days later, he one-upped himself with 55 points on 22-of-30 shooting, 17 rebounds and three blocks as L.A. defeated the Washington Wizards, 130-119.
Davis has been on some kind of a tear in his last nine contests.

On Twitter, the NBA community certainly gave Davis his flowers.
