After an excruciating three month wait for the NBA season to begin, here we are already 10 days since opening night and it has been exciting to say the least. The first 10 days of action has literally covered everything from upsets to blowouts, from surprises to disappointments, from big performances to injuries, from the top plays to the memes.So what can we safely takeaway from these first 10 days? Here are 5 things we have learnt from the NBA season so far: 

#5 Anthony Davis proving superstar status

Anthony Davis

Last year Anthony Davis proved his All-Star status with his performance and was lucky to be called up for the All-Star Game, courtesy of Kobe Bryant’s injury. Before the beginning of this season, many predicted that this was the year he would make the leap to a higher level and be at par with the other superstars of the league.

The New Orleans Pelicans might be 2-2 but Davis has been dominant through all four games so far. His averages of 23.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 4 blocks put up him above the rest of the league. PER (Player Efficienty Rating), a category which hugely influences the MVP award is also currently ruled by Davis with a rating of 34.29, four points above the next player.

Shaquille O’Neal tops the least for number of times a player records 20+ points, 10+ rebounds and 3+ blocks with 59 while Tim Duncan is a far second with 18 but Davis at the age of 21 in his third year is third on the list with 17. Says a lot about the amount of justice he is doing to the talent and height he is blessed with.
