I see where this is going. Do you?

Imagine how fucked up Embiid's body would be if he played basketball since he was 8 years old like most people. He'd probably be in Stephen Hawking's wheel chair by now.

Some one would bound to say, "I think we need a bigger boat"

The mere fact that they have Giannis listed as a 4 and Harden as a 2 illustrates that they cannot be trusted.
Curry will get knocked off his perch too this season as they will miss the playoffs. Bookit!

The gap between Jokic and Embiid will be wide as the Gulf of Mexico after this season. Only thing that can help Jokic is an Embiid injury.

If he plays 70 games he will be first team All NBA.

Most dominant Center in the game. Best Center in the game and i will double down on the same bet that we had regarding those two this year if you want.

The type of Numbers that he puts up when healthy place him in a league with the best bigs to ever play the game.

Defensively he is in a whole different stratosphere from Jokic

The bet is tempting. Give me a few days to think about it.

76ers barely miss Embiid.

Jokic clearly wins this.

Yep.

Jokic wasn't even the 2nd Center chosen. Bam Adebayo (my guy)was.

Before Rona he lost 40 pounds during quarantine. I expect we'll see an even more productive Jokic once the season starts up again. Losing 40 is now joke. He's going to be a lot quicker.

No question. RIP the Embiid vs Joker debate

It ended a long time ago for me. Did you notice how my guy was the No 1 overall pick in the NBA All Star Game draft while your dude went 6th?

Talk about a telltale sign :lol:

The Greek Freak drafted Embiid first. Not the fans. Says a lot.

As a player you'd be hard pressed to find many people who think Jokic is better. In fact the guys that really, really follow the league pretty much all pick Embiid.

One guy played in 80 games while the other played in 64. MVP is rarely about the better player. Hell Isaiah Thomas finished 5th one year. Yah!

I'm not exactly believing Jokic lost 40 lbs. It's like when Fat Frank showed up to ST "in the best shape of his life" every year.

The lumbering around is a problem. Not for him, but for his 4 teammates. Embiid's problem is coaching induced. Brown needs to stop worrying about how the league wants to play and worry more how the Sixers need to play.

Can't agree more but I'd also add that Embiid needs to play more too. If he suits up 75-80 games per year he is easily recognized as a top 3-5 player in the league. Can't keep playing 60 per year and ever hope to be recognized as the top guy in the league

He wasn't even the primary reason they defeated Utah. Murray was. You place Embiid on this Denver team with that coach and they'd be the favorites to beat the Lakers. That is how much of a difference there is between the two players
