It's not like he was blocking the same player over and over again, or even the same type of shot. That's six different kinds of blocks on six different players, ranging from the point guard position (Elfrid Payton) all the way up to the Magic's center (Nikola Vucevic). We're quickly going to run out of superlatives to describe this kid, but that is simply sick.
Do you know what else could have an adjective associated with illness used to describe it? The company that stat line keeps in history, regardless of a player's age and what year of his career the game happened:
| Player | Date | PTS | FGM/FGA | FTM/FTA | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H. Olajuwon | 1987/03/10 | 38 | 14/29 | 10/14 | 17 | 6 | 7 | 12 | 4 |
| H. Olajuwon | 1989/12/17 | 32 | 10/18 | 12/20 | 25 | 2 | 3 | 10 | 5 |
| H. Olajuwon | 1990/02/19 | 32 | 13/22 | 6/8 | 17 | 1 | 3 | 9 | 4 |
| H. Olajuwon | 1990/03/03 | 29 | 13/25 | 3/4 | 18 | 9 | 5 | 11 | 0 |
| A. Davis | 2014/10/28 | 26 | 10/22 | 6/9 | 17 | 2 | 3 | 9 | 0 |
Hey look, Hakeem Olajuwon again. Anthony Davis might eventually defy historical comparisons, but for now, having one of the game's most legendary centers as a measuring stick should make for an exciting career arc. Oh, and Hakeem pulled off the first of those four monster stat lines at 24 years of age and Anthony Davis is still only 21.
His name is coming up all over the place as the next big thing, but it might be time to drop the word "next" all together.
The Brow has officially arrived as an elite NBA player, one of the absolute best in the game already. Get used to nights like these.
