lemme get this straight Sixers fan; you're saying that Dirk, was essentially focused on by TWO players because the other team knew he was a problem? And with all that nonsense you just said, in what matchup did Dirk have an overwhelming physical advantage like Embiid consistently does? Dirk has always had height, and a good jumper, but not the mass to go with it.
My point still stands; it's year 9, if Embiid doesn't understand that he can take over a game because he's got an advantage both physically and athletically, he's never going to be a #1. Bam is exposing Horford who's a shell of himself -- he knows he doesn't have the footspeed to keep up with him.
Horford is 6'9 240
Embiid is 7'0-7'1 and 280
Embiid has 3-4 inches on him and 40 lbs, and he's getting locked up by a 36 year old without much help.
. Embiid isn't a #1, and that's okay.
