Joel Embiid career is essentially over

[AAKing23]

If we keeping it a buck, Rik Smits was just as good or better than dude. And no, I am not being a prisoner of the moment. He was certainly more durable. He just wasn't the focal point.

In fact that's his game he resembles the most- and Rik Smits' game is more reliable than his. Smits wasn't out there dribbling and flopping like a moron 6x/game

Mourning
Divac
Mutombo (RIP)
Laimbeer shot 10x better

Have better careers. And they're in the 2nd tier.

He ain't got shyt on

Shaq
Hakeem
David
Ewing

In scoring. Not even close

None of the nikkas you mentioned are better scorers than Embiid.

Only Wilt and Kareem probably are

Hakeem is better. Ewing is better. Shaq is better. All at scoring too. David at his peak was. Pre-Duncan.

And they damn sure would have got out of the second round by now

No they’re not. None of them had multiple 30ppg+ seasons, were 3 level scorers with wing like shot creating ability, who also shot close to 90% from the line (Duncan is not a Center)

You a lying nikka or you just hating

What's Joel's scoring done for the 76ers since this is the hill you wanna die on

That’s not the argument, talking about pure skill, you moving the goalposts

He is not more skilled then prime Ewing or David or Shaq or Hakeem. That's an old Ewing play too below

How you average 30 and can't get to a conference finals?

Also averaging 30 and playing 50 games ain't that impressive.

All are levels above Embiid. I don't care what stats Embiid puts up in this soft era, if you can't win 2 playoff series in a row, you aren't elite.

Wasn't it also the warriors who started Kawhi's "Peg Leg" journey?

not necessarily. I think it was Andre Roberson in 2016 if it wasn't mentioned already

 

[duncanthetall]

He got his MVP and his Olympic ring so I’m sure he’s happy.

we got Rik Smits stans in here now

Should have remembered I'm talking to washed old head nikkas in here

Shaq himself says Embiid is more talented/skilled than himself but y'all in here fighting the good fight

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Joel was moving like an old Patrick Ewing since 2018.

And as much flack as dude takes Patrick Ewing his first 12 years only missed like 10 games. Anyone comparing the two is nuts. Ewing shyts all over dude career.

Anyone saying he's better than Ewing I can't take seriously.

Something very interesting about this list, I don't wanna derail though
