Anthony was all-nba first team, all-defense first team, MVP and DPOY votes. Pau was all-nba third team, not a single MVP vote.


Those accolades are based on voting, not production on the court. They're not based on wins, on fit with the team, etc.

The game on the court isn't won by popularity contests.

This ....... AD would have crumbled (literally, not figuratively ..... his body would not be able to handle it) under Kobe's intensity and criticism. Pau was an absolute dream fit for Kobe and the Lakers.

Easily one of my top 5 favorite Lakers all time.

The main differential is health. AD cannot stay healthy. That cannot be overlooked.

unfortunately, people don't include injuries into a player's makeup.

It’s arguable that Pau will rank higher than AD in terms of career impact when you factor in his international/Olympic contributions.
