Healthy, productive Anthony Davis is key to Lakers’ playoff success

One glance at him on the basketball court and you just know Anthony Davis was born to play the game, and play it well. His arms seem to extend to the heavens. His legs carry him with the speed and certainty of a much smaller man. He can beat opponents inside and outside.

One problem when you stand 6-foot-10 and weigh more than 250 pounds, as Davis does, the body tends to break down under the stress of the game, of the constant running and jumping and twisting and turning and the relentless pressure from opponents just as big and strong.

When he’s healthy, all is right in the Lakers’ world.
