Schadenfreude
All Star
yea and dirk lost to an 8th seed as an mvp, despite how historically good he was after that
you saying joel cant improve from what he is now is some shortsighted shyt that ignores the history of the game. nobody thinks you can do it until you actually so it
Back up a second. You're comparing Dirk, to Embiid? Dirk, actually showed signs of dominance and could take over a game even though he didn't get the result he wanted. It's the playoffs, there is NO reason Al Horford should be locking down Embiid, when he has the physical and athletic advantage over him. Look at how Bam is going at Horford -- you telling me Bam is a better player than Embiid? Horford can't do shyt with Bam in this series. If he's been in the league this long and doesn't have that killer instinct or ability to take over a game when absolutely needed, then he'll never get it, and that right there should prove that he's not a #1 option and shouldn't be. Donovan Mitchell, flawed as he is, can take over a game in the playoffs, and has shown it, why hasn't Embiid and he's been in the league what, 9 years? Be 7'0 and 280 lbs and hang out behind the 3 point line brehs, even though you're typically the biggest guy on the floor Embiid thinks he's the 2nd coming of Steph Curry or Dirk
