best white player since Dirk
To be fair, Wilt averaged 45ppg... on 35 shots per game. The year before, Wilt averaged 50... on 40 shots. (shooting 50%)
Curry meanwhile is at 31ppg on 21 shots. (shooting 49%). Peak '00 Shaq was also at 21 shots (30ppg / 57% shooting)
IOW, the way the league is now (or the way it's been since... 1965 lol) it's damn near not feasible for one guy to shoot the ball 35-40 friggin times a game. Even when Wilt did it in the 9 team league, the other top scorers were still mostly in the 22-24 shot range. Even '06 Kobe with the full green light to jack up shots capped out at 27 fga.
Embiid getting sonned by another MVP candidate to the point where his own building was chanting MVP for another man..
... the same night Jokic had this performance...
... that may be all she wrote for Embiid's chances
To be even more fair: Steph is averaging 23.3 shots over this 30 point streak, not his season average 21.
He's about to go on a 40 point game streak though
