power forward Anthony Davis entered a league of his own after Saturday's 126-99 loss against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The perennial All-Star scored 34 points with two blocks and eight rebounds to become the first player in history to record 300 points, 100 rebounds and 30 blocks in his team's first 10 games of the season (blocks became official in the 1973-74 season).

Davis put up the gaudy numbers despite exiting the game with an apparent back injur. He returned to the game shortly after leaving.
